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

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).

The Neotropical whale catfishes (Siluriformes: Cetopsidae: Cetopsinae), a revisionary study

Neotropical Ichthyology
The catfishes of the subfamily Cetopsinae of the Neotropical family Cetopsidae are revised. Four genera, Cetopsidium new genus, Cetopsis, Denticetopsis, and Paracetopsis Bleeker are recognized as valid. Bathycetopsis, Hemicetopsis, and Pseudocetopsis are

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.

The Role of Transpressional Tectonics, Volcanism, and Fluvial Processes on the Oligocene to Pliocene Evolution of Intermontane Basins of the Western Colombian Andes

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract We use new and published detrital zircon U‐Pb data (n > 10,000) from Oligocene‐Pliocene strata of intermontane basins of the western Colombian Andes and surrounding regions to study the evolution of sedimentary systems during the transition from arc collision/accretion to subduction.

Revisiting groundwater law through the lenses of earth system law and rights of nature

WIREs Water, Volume 11, Issue 2, March/April 2024.
Revisiting groundwater law through the lenses of earth system law and rights of nature. Abstract Current groundwater challenges have made evident that national and international groundwater law needs a thorough revision. In this article, we explore earth system law (ESL) and rights of nature (RoN) as possible approaches to rethink groundwater law ...
