Multiple distant origins for green sea turtles aggregating off Gorgona Island in the Colombian eastern Pacific. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Mitochondrial DNA analyses have been useful for resolving maternal lineages and migratory behavior to foraging grounds (FG) in sea turtles. However, little is known about source rookeries and haplotype composition of foraging green turtle aggregations in

Emergence, spread, and impact of high‐pathogenicity avian influenza H5 in wild birds and mammals of South America and Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract The currently circulating high‐pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) virus of the subtype H5 causes variable illness and death in wild and domestic birds and mammals, as well as in humans. This virus evolved from the Goose/Guangdong lineage of the HPAI H5 virus, which emerged in commercial poultry in China in 1996, spilled over into wild birds,

Avian influenza overview June–September 2023 [PDF]

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Between 24 June and 1 September 2023, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) outbreaks were reported in domestic (25) and wild (482) birds across 21 countries in Europe. Most of these outbreaks appeared to be clustered along coastlines with only few HPAI virus detections inland.

Coral connectivity between equatorial eastern Pacific marine protected areas: A biophysical modeling approach. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
There are many marine protected areas (MPAs) containing coral reef aggregations in the eastern Pacific region. However, the connectivity of corals between MPAs is still poorly known, especially in the Marine Conservation Corridor of the Eastern Tropical ...

Gardening Pocillopora spp. fragments and their potential for rebuilding reef systems in the southern Mexican Pacific

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 8, November 2023., 2023
The degradation of coral reefs during the last decades has turned attention toward management and restoration interventions. This study seeks to operationalize coral gardening of Pocillopora spp. fragments in low profile bottom‐anchored nurseries and to compare survival and growth patterns between sites, time, and fragment size in the southern Mexican ...

Kinematics and Convergent Tectonics of the Northwestern South American Plate During the Cenozoic

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
Abstract The interaction of the northern Nazca and southwestern Caribbean oceanic plates with northwestern South America (NWSA) and the collision of the Panama‐Choco arc (PCA) have significant implications on the evolution of the northern Andes. Based on a quantitative kinematic reconstruction of the Caribbean and Farallon/Farallon‐derived plates, we ...

The green side of social innovation: Using sustainable development goals to classify environmental impacts of rural grassroots initiatives

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 459-477, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Social innovations are grassroots processes aiming to achieve impacts beyond an individual level and towards a broader societal good. The environmental dimension of impacts refers to any direct change to the environment resulting from social innovation activities, products, or services, which are not addressed by pre‐existing systems.

A Novel, Laser‐Based Microsampling Technique for Texturally Controlled, Combined and Complementary Sr and Nd Isotope Measurements in Silicate Minerals

open access: yesGeostandards and Geoanalytical Research, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 789-809, December 2022., 2022
Key Points LA instruments could offer a non-mechanical alternative for delineating and liberating mineral targets. RM glass proxies demonstrated no significant deviation in parent/daughter analyte mass fractions or 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd ratios after ablation, extraction and chromatography.

Extension and application of an observation‐based local climate index aimed to anticipate the impact of El Niño–Southern Oscillation events on Colombia

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, Volume 42, Issue 11, Page 5403-5429, September 2022., 2022
The here presented modified Tumaco multivariate index (TMI4) has the potential to anticipate the sign and the amount of ENSO‐induced rainfall anomalies over extensive northern and western areas of Colombia (see the significant correlations between TMI4 and rainfall anomalies on the left).
