Prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in Galapagos birds: Inference of risk factors associated with diet.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic intracellular parasite of particular concern in the conservation of wildlife due to its ability to infect all homeotherms and potentially cause acute fatal disease in naive species.

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2190-2213, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Biogeography of Parasitic Nematode Communities in the Galápagos Giant Tortoise: Implications for Conservation Management.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The Galápagos giant tortoise is an icon of the unique, endemic biodiversity of Galápagos, but little is known of its parasitic fauna. We assessed the diversity of parasitic nematode communities and their spatial distributions within four wild tortoise ...

Surface and Tropospheric Climatic Trends in the Galápagos Archipelago Based on the Galápagos Archipelago Refined Analysis Dataset

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 12, October 2026.
The Galápagos Archipelago's near‐surface climate is primarily influenced by interannual El Niño‐Southern Oscillation variability, with no statistical evidence for long‐term trends in air temperature, humidity, or precipitation. While tropospheric warming and increased atmospheric stability are observed, these trends are largely decoupled from near ...

Helminth parasites of Galápagos mammals: a new cestode of the genus Raillietina from the endemic rice rat Nesoryzomys swarthi and a summary of parasites from both endemic and invasive rodents

Parasitology
In this first report of endoparasites from endemic land-mammals of the Galápagos Islands, we describe a new species of cestode of the genus Raillietina (Cyclophyllidea: Davaineidae) from a species of Nesoryzomys and summarize the extent of helminth ...

Episodic Seismicity Bursts Driven by Magma Intrusion During the 2025 Santorini‐Amorgos Seismic Crisis

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The 2025 Santorini–Amorgos seismic crisis in Greece had an exceptionally large number and sustained rate of moderate‐sized earthquakes. We used a machine‐learning‐based earthquake monitoring workflow to detect and relocate 66,109 earthquakes and interpret the results in the context of global analogs.

BaSIC: A Bayesian Inversion Model for Basalt Source Investigation and Characterization

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract We present BaSIC: Basalt Source Investigation and Characterization, an open‐source Python based Bayesian inversion method to constrain the source mineralogy of basalts. Using bulk rock geochemistry, the model takes the averages and standard deviations of six elemental ratios (Mn/Fe, Zn/Fe, Mn/Zn, Sc/Zn, Co/Fe, and Ga/Sc) for a given basalt ...

Epipelagic copepod distributions in the eastern equatorial Pacific during the weak La Niña event of 2001

Scientia Marina, 2011
We determined the distribution and abundance of pelagic copepods in the eastern equatorial Pacific between the coast of Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands under oceanographic conditions associated with the weak La Niña event of 2001.

ASSESING GEOGRAPHIC ISOLATION OF THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016
The Galapagos Archipelago is one of the most important ecological spots in the planet due its unique biodiversity, active geology, and relatively well-preserved ecosystems.

Impacts of Species Introductions on the Trait Diversity of Interacting Avian Frugivores and Fleshy‐Fruited Plants Depend on Native Trait Diversity

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The introduction of non‐native species to native ecological communities by humans is a major driver of global biodiversity change. Studying how species introductions influence interacting species is essential to understanding possible functional consequences of global change because biotic interactions are ecologically crucial.
