TEACHING SPANISH IN THE UNIVERSAL MONARCHY: TOMÁS PINPIN'S GRAMMAR FOR TAGALOGS (1610)
ABSTRACT In 1610, a Tagalog printer named Tomás Pinpin published a Spanish grammar in Tagalog that was intended to help natives avoid errors and misunderstandings in their interactions with Spanish colonizers. This article attempts to clarify the book's genesis and to contextualize it within the global expansion of Spanish. Pinpin exemplifies a pattern

Making vertebrate fossil radiocarbon dates more useful for global scientific research
ABSTRACT Radiocarbon dating of bones is essential for reconstructing timelines of species' occurrences, domestication, extinction, migrations, and interactions with Quaternary environments. Many studies compile these chronologies at continental to global scales by aggregating radiocarbon dates from various sources, often balancing data quantity and ...

Ground‐based Inventorying and Monitoring programs are crucial for documenting long‐term forest responses to global change pressures, though there is limited coordination among them. We call for building synergies between different Inventorying and Monitoring programs, as well as community science and stakeholder engagement, to expand the temporal and ...

The women honoured in flowering plant genera: From myth to reality
Many flowering plant genera are named for people, but there is a gender gap in this naming, with only 6% of eponyms honouring women. Here we explore this gap by examining in detail women for whom plant genera are named. Our open shared dataset serves to make women honoured in plant genera more discoverable, resulting in further impact by allowing ...

Ecologic Traits Analysis for Identifying Rodent Hosts for Arenavirus and Hepacivirus in the Americas
Over half of emerging human pathogens originate from wildlife, with rodents serving as key zoonotic hosts. This study used ecological trait‐based models to identify rodent traits associated with arenavirus and hepacivirus infections and detect potential host species across the Americas, our models achieve high predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.92–0.96).

Abstract Sustained long‐distance trade in the early modern era necessitated institutional mechanisms capable of solving three interrelated challenges: the need to mobilize an unprecedented volume of capital and to lock it in for long periods of time, ways of mitigating the principal–agent problem across continents, and methods to internalize and ...

Abstract We study behavior in a trust game where first‐movers initially have a higher endowment than second‐movers but the occurrence of a positive random shock can eliminate this inequality by increasing the endowment of the second‐mover before the decision of the first‐mover.

Abstract Delineating Areas of Endemism (AEs) is crucial for identifying priority areas for biodiversity conservation in a spatial planning framework. Endemicity Analysis in the NDM/VNDM software is one of the primary methodologies for its delineation.

The intense human persecution of wildlife in the past forced many animal populations to look for refuge in human‐inaccessible habitats. With the decline of direct persecution, and the changes in the attitude of modern urban societies towards wildlife during the last few decades, an ecological process of abandonment of refuge habitats has become ...
