Nutrient use by tropical ant communities varies among three extensive elevational gradients: A cross‐continental comparison

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 12, Page 2212-2229, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Many studies demonstrate that climate limits invertebrates along tropical elevational gradients, but we have only a rudimentary understanding of the role of nutrient limitation and climatic seasonality. Here we examined the relationships between ant community structure, nutrient use and season along three undisturbed elevational gradients,

Late Miocene Exhumation of the Western Cordillera, Ecuador, Driven by Increased Coupling Between the Subducting Carnegie Ridge and the South American Continent

Tectonics, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract The subduction of bathymetric highs, such as aseismic ridges, leads to far‐reaching changes in the dynamics of subduction zones with increased plate coupling and deformation in the upper plate. Subduction of the submarine Carnegie Ridge on the Nazca Plate has fundamentally impacted late Cenozoic magmatism and tectonic activity in the northern ...

Correlations Between Subduction of Linear Oceanic Features and Arc Volcanism Volume Around the Pacific Basin

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Arc volcanoes, created by magma generated from the dehydration of subducting slabs, show great variability in their sizes and along‐arc spatial distributions. In this study, we address a fundamental question, namely, how do subduction zones and volcanic arcs respond to the subduction of “atypical” oceanic lithosphere.

Socio‐economic status, executive functions, and theory of mind ability in adolescents: Relationships with language ability and cortisol

British Journal of Developmental Psychology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 19-38, March 2021., 2021
Socio‐economic status (SES) is linked to the development of cognitive abilities, particularly language and executive processes. It is unclear whether these represent a single or independent correlates. We studied 110 Ecuadorian youths aged 12–17 with measures of SES, language, executive function, and theory of mind (ToM), a.k.a. mentalizing.
