ABSTRACT Background and Aims Septic abortion remains a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in low‐ and middle‐income countries. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, antibiotic susceptibility profiles, and determinants of septic abortion among women admitted for abortion care in Ugandan satellite teaching hospitals. Methods This two‐

Microbial carbon mineralization in tropical lowland and montane forest soils of Peru [PDF]
Climate change is affecting the amount and complexity of plant inputs to tropical forest soils. This is likely to influence the carbon (C) balance of these ecosystems by altering decomposition processes e.g., "positive priming effects" that accelerate ...

Nutrient and light availability control food webs and fish larvae in the Peruvian upwelling system
Abstract Upwelling ecosystems sustain some of the world's most productive fisheries by supplying deep‐water nutrients to the sunlit ocean surface. Yet, how spatiotemporal variability in nutrient‐upwelling and light availability regulates trophic transfer to fish remains poorly understood. We investigated these dynamics in a 36‐d mesocosm experiment off

Abstract Oxalis oulophora, a diploid species closely related to the octoploid Andean tuber crop oca (Oxalis tuberosa), was selected for whole‐genome sequencing to aid in understanding the origins of polyploidy and domestication in oca and its relatives (crop wild relatives).

Myelopathy secondary to cerebral and spinal neurocysticercosis [PDF]
Neurocysticercosis is the most common CNS parasitic disease but spinal presentation of this condition is rare, with a higher incidence in developing countries like ours.

Long read bacterial and eukaryotic ribosomal operon sequencing combined with stable isotope probing (SIP) allowed the differentiation of microbiomes in low‐ and high‐yield blueberry farm soils. This report may ultimately be used to improve productivity and potentially detect the responsible pathogenic agent(s) or other deleterious microbes.

Rarity of monodominance in hyperdiverse Amazonian forests. [PDF]
Tropical forests are known for their high diversity. Yet, forest patches do occur in the tropics where a single tree species is dominant. Such "monodominant" forests are known from all of the main tropical regions. For Amazonia, we sampled the occurrence

Peruvian frogs underwent a climate‐driven range expansion into deglaciating mountains, exposing themselves and their fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) to challenging new thermal environments. Bd has dispersed extensively in these new habitats, and elevation may mediate the apparent sublethal impacts of infection for frogs.
