Management and incipient domestication of Chamaedorea tepejilote in agroforestry systems in Mexico
Native wild plants are key elements in addressing global biodiversity loss and supporting sustainable food systems. We investigated how rural communities in Mexico manage Chamaedorea tepejilote, a wild palm with edible male inflorescences, by combining ethnobotanical, genetic, morphological and ecological approaches.

La biodiversidad es un suceso ecológico realmente sorprendente en tanto existe una extraordinaria homogeneidad química y bioquímica de base, en todos los seres vivos. Se considera que se dan por lo menos tres fenómenos que la explican: la evolución darwiniana, es decir, la evolución ramificada; el «acoplamiento estructural» según lo define H. Maturana;

Brazil's Cerrado valley wetlands—swamp savanna and gallery forest—are highly important for the biome's water cycle and carbon storage and are susceptible to degradation from the impacts of land use expansion and the climate crisis. In support of their detailed monitoring and assessment, we developed and tested a transferable mapping approach that ...

ABSTRACT As top predators, terrestrial carnivores face great risk of pesticide exposure and serve as sentinels of environmental contamination. Additionally, terrestrial carnivores are frequently threatened by intentional or secondary poisoning with highly toxic compounds, such as carbamates and organophosphates.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.
