Dietary Exposure to Mercury and Arsenic From Traditional Qatari Foods: Implications for Food Safety and Public Health

Food Safety and Health, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 125-137, January 2026.
In the Qatari cuisine, seafood showed significantly elevated mercury concentrations, whereas arsenic was more evenly distributed across the different foods. Although arsenic exposure was low (HQ < 0.2), mercury posed a high risk (HQ 7.9–9.3; HI > 8), highlighting seafood as the dominant dietary source of heavy metal exposure. ABSTRACT Heavy metals have

Evolving Strain Partitioning Driven by Multiple Plate Interaction—Paleotectonic Reconstruction of Northwestern South America During the Cenozoic

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract In Northwestern South America (NWSA) geodetic observations point to a consistent northeastward displacement of blocks, while the geological record shows a predominant shortening in NW‐SE direction. Such clear evidence of strain partitioning has been extensively studied in the context of two convergent plates, but not in complex tectonic area ...

Evolutionary history of Middle American Rhamdia (Siluriformes: Heptapteridae) inferred from comparative mitogenomic data: Insights on historical biogeography and cave colonization in the group

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1501-1518, November 2025.
Investigating the systematics and biogeography of Neotropical catfishes of the genus Rhamdia refined phylogenetic hypotheses, including deep paraphyly of Rhamdia laticauda, supported northward dispersal catalyzed by emergence of the Panamanian Isthmus and imply that cave colonization is widespread, convergent, and recent, with established cave‐dwelling

Portrait of the Upper-Middle Basin of the Atrato River, an approach fromenvironmental history

, 2023
Introduction. This article presents an approach to the environmental history of the upper-middle basin of the Atrato River. Under the interpretive paradigm of the social sciences, the cultural notions around the River are taken as an object of study, whichallowed us to understand the bilateral relationship between nature and society in the territory ...

What is (the) matter with climate litigation? Law, nature, and the limits of legal technique

Journal of Law and Society, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 159-180, June 2025.
Abstract This article examines how nature is mediated by law in climate cases. In the Federal Court of Australia decision in Minister for the Environment v. Sharma (2022), the court applied a narrow definition of ‘matter of law’ (justiciability), and thereby negated ‘matter in law’ (such as carbon dioxide and ecological destruction).

Linking Landslide Patterns to Transient Landscapes in the Northern Colombian Andes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract Landslides are among the most recognizable evidence of hillslope erosion in tectonically active mountains. Yet, how much of the distribution of landslides of different ages relates to, or is inherited from, the pattern of topographic metrics of landscape evolution remains partially unresolved, and especially so in tropical areas.
