Autopsy, deathways, and intercultural healthcare in the southern Peruvian Andes Autopsie, pratiques mortuaires et soins de santé interculturels dans le sud des Andes péruviennes

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 456-473, June 2026.
While death remains a popular topic for anthropology, relatively few ethnographic accounts consider the modern bureaucratic processes accompanying it. One such process is public health autopsy, which scholars have largely taken for granted. Existing analysis has regarded it as a form of ‘cultural brokering’ and autopsy reluctance in communities is seen,

Wandering and Sleeplessness: Performance as research in memories of the 1970 Peruvian earthquake

Visual Anthropology Review, Volume 42, Issue 2, Fall 2026.
Abstract Oral testimony is used as a tool for gaining insight about traumatic events from the perspective of survivors. But research also acknowledges that narrative accounts do not necessarily move us closer to that trauma. This article asks what might be learnt from performance with Lucho Ramírez, an actor from Peru who lost his home as a boy in an ...

Potential distribution and susceptibility of Coffea arabica L. to climate change impacts

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 693-711, March 2026.
Ecological niche models (ENMs) are vital for understanding the impact of historical factors on ecosystems and predicting future climate change scenarios. These models help assess how environmental shifts affect agricultural species like coffee, which supports millions of people globally.

Virus‐Dependent Geographic Structure of Co‐Circulating Viruses in a Single Bat Species

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the spatial spread of viruses within wildlife populations is often a key component of disease management efforts. Viral spread is likely constrained by host ecology, but inter‐virus differences in infection strategy might allow some viruses to overcome these constraints, leading to divergent population structures within a common ...

Challenges and opportunities in mitigating sarcoptic mange in wild South American camelids

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.
Wild South American camelids—vicuña and guanaco—face threats from sarcoptic mange, a contagious skin disease linked to severe population declines. Despite its impact, major gaps remain in understanding disease dynamics. This review summarizes current knowledge, identifies key data and management gaps, and outlines urgent actions for effective ...

Spatial Assessment of Heavy Metal Contamination in Agricultural Soils of the Lower Chancay–Huaral Valley, Peru

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil contamination by heavy metals (HMs) poses a potential threat to agricultural productivity and food security, particularly in rapidly developing coastal regions. This study evaluates the spatial distribution and contamination levels of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and manganese (Mn) in agricultural soils from the Huaral, Chancay,

Influence of Soil Texture and Organic Matter on the Erosion Resistance of Sloped Agricultural Soils of the Peruvian Amazon

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil erosion is a major driver of soil degradation in the Peruvian Amazon, compromising the productivity and sustainability of agricultural systems established on sloping terrain. This study evaluated the relationship between soil texture, soil organic matter (SOM) and relative erosion susceptibility, expressed through the comprehensive soil erosion ...
