Early Warning Systems and Emergency Declarations During Brazil's Largest Dengue Outbreak
Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives Early warning systems (EWSs) are essential for alert, detection, and response to potential public health emergencies. Brazil's 2024 dengue epidemic, the largest ever recorded, offers a critical case for assessing correspondence between timely epidemic risk detection and health governance responsiveness.

Spectral diversity tracks initial restoration progress in the Eastern Amazon
Frontiers in Environmental ScienceMonitoring the rehabilitation of mined lands and forest restoration is often limited by high costs and labor-intensive field surveys. This study evaluated the potential of spectral diversity to estimate the Restoration Index (RI), a metric that ...

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The psammophilous colubrid genus Lytorhynchus is widely distributed in the deserts of the Saharo‐Sindian region and adjacent areas. The taxonomy of the genus and the number of recognised species have remained unstable since the last taxonomic revision in 1970, with differing views on the taxonomic status of L. gaddi and L. kennedyi.

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT The structure of stream networks naturally fragments freshwater habitats, but this complexity is increasingly intensified by dams and reservoirs. How anthropogenic fragmentation interacts with natural isolation gradients to affect fish populations remains poorly understood.

Musculoskeletal Care, Volume 24, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Background Exercise‐based randomized controlled trials are essential for guiding the management of knee osteoarthritis, but their interpretability depends on transparent reporting of both intervention and comparator groups. The term usual care (UC) is frequently used as a comparator, yet its reporting quality remains unclear.

Checklist of Orchidaceae From Brazilian Amazon Restingas
New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.In Brazil, restingas (coastal sandbank vegetation) are distributed along the coast in the Atlantic Forest, Caatinga, Cerrado, and Amazon phytogeographic domains. Orchidaceae is one of the botanical families with the greatest species richness in restingas in the Atlantic Forest but has been poorly documented in Amazonian restingas, resulting in limited ...

River Sand and Gravel Mining: Global Drivers, Impacts, and Pathways for Sustainable Management
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract River sand and gravel are mined worldwide at volumes that now rival their natural replenishment, yet quantitative knowledge of this mining activity and its consequences lags far behind many other global environmental pressures. We synthesize 411 peer‐reviewed studies published since 1974 within a new Driver‐to‐Management Pathway for ...

The contribution of small trees to carbon stocks along a recovery gradient in the Amazonia
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Most ecological knowledge about carbon recovery during natural regeneration in tropical regions has focused on individuals exceeding 10 cm in diameter. However, the contribution of smaller individuals to aboveground carbon (AGC) across successional gradients remains poorly quantified, despite their potentially substantial role during early ...
