Brazil Nut Flour as a Functional Ingredient: Effects on Texture, Composition and Sensory Profile of Reduced‐Sugar Gluten‐Free Cookies

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 103, Issue 3, Page 185-196, March 2026.
Graphical abstract of the characterization of Brazil nut flour (BNF) and the impact of its addition on the nutritional and sensory properties of gluten‐free and low‐sugar cookies. The results show that BNF contributed to an improved nutritional quality of the cookies and enhanced overall product acceptance.

Road Blockades During the Pandemic: Indigenous Citizenship and New Territoriality

Area, Volume 58, Issue 1, March 2026.
Short Abstract In the Peruvian Amazon, the blocking of land and river routes has become an increasingly common strategy among indigenous groups to exercise active citizenship. The adoption of this protest tactic during the pandemic raises two central questions: First, what socio‐political and cultural factors shaped this collective action? Second, what

Animal–Plant Interactions Under Defaunation: Consequences for Amazonian Trees of Commercial Interest

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We experimentally investigated the effects of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal defaunation on the removal and fate of seeds from economically important forest species in Amazonian forests. Our results show that mammal exclusion significantly reduced seed removal, although the magnitude of this effect varied among plant species.

Stemflow Dynamics in the Jamari National Forest (Brazilian Amazon): II. Solute Concentrations and Flux Dynamics

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Trees can redirect large volumes of rainwater to the base of their stems. This stemflow not only redistributes water but also channels canopy‐derived solutes to the forest floor. Building on research showing canopy geometry and bark properties govern stemflow volumes, we examined how those same traits modulate the biogeochemical side of this flux. Over

Effect of land use change on Melolonthidae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) beetle communities in the deforestation arc of the Brazilian Amazon

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 404-419, March 2026.
Habitat transformation in Amazon due to agriculture expansion impairs Melolonthidae diversity. Assemblage response towards habitat transformation are group‐dependent. Although highly disturbed, Amazon arc of deforestation region dwells sensitive insect assemblages. Abstract Although the Amazon provides crucial goods and ecosystem services for humanity,
