The dual role of fracturing and elevation on the development of the weathering profile in mafic landscapes of the Andean tropics

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
Eighteen boreholes in Colombia's Tropical Andes reveal elevation‐controlled Critical Zone architecture. Four‐layer weathering profiles with thick saprolite (≤48 m) form at high elevations (>1,100 m) where dense fracturing enhances permeability. Low‐elevation boreholes lack saprolite despite high fracture density, demonstrating fracturing's dual role as

Breeding seasonality in Charadriiformes on the Andean Altiplano is influenced by rain and possibly flood risk

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Andean Altiplano in South America represents a remarkable mountain ecosystem with unique wildlife. However, knowledge of breeding ecology for birds inhabiting Andean Altiplano is scarce, relying mostly on anecdotal records, and drivers of breeding phenology remain unexplored.

Movement Strategies of Neotropical Nectarivorous Birds: Insights From High‐Andean Hummingbirds and Flowerpiercers

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Nectar is a highly variable, mostly unpredictable resource in tropical mountains. How do nectarivorous birds such as this male Great Sapphirewing cope? Fine‐scaled tracking of hummingbirds and flowerpiercers shows flexibility in daily movement strategies in the high Andes, possibly in response to fluctuating local conditions such as weather and ...
