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.

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).

Biogeography, Systematics, and Ecomorphology of Pacific Island Anoles
Anoles are regarded as important models for understanding dynamic processes in ecology and evolution. Most work on this group has focused on species in the Caribbean Sea, and recently in mainland South and Central America.

Scientific note: varroa mite eradication, the strange case of Gorgona Island [PDF]
Varroa mites are vectors for several bee viruses contributing also to their diffusion worldwide (Martin 2001; Di Prisco et al. 2011; Cersini et al. 2013). The tripartite relationship among bees, mites, and viruses is thought to be responsible for the loss of a large amount of colonies (Highfield et al. 2009; Berthoud et al. 2010; Francis et al.

The hydroclimatology of Gorgona Island: seasonal and ENSO-related Patternsa
Most small watersheds in the Tropical Eastern Pacific remain ungauged, and discharge analyses using gauge and simulated data have been published only for a few large rivers. I analyzed a 20-yr record of rainfall and stream discharge from Gorgona Island, a natural national park located 30 km offshore in the Pacific Ocean of Colombia to explore intra ...

Assessing the context‐dependence of invasiveness in the Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus)
Although the Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus) is widely considered fully invasive, our study on Gorgona Island shows its spread is largely confined to human‐altered habitats. Native common wall lizards (P. muralis) persist in natural areas, indicating that Italian wall lizard invasiveness is context‐dependent and mediated by human‐altered ...

A Possible Tsunamigenic Near‐Trench Strike‐Slip Fault, Offshore North Ecuador–South Colombia
Abstract Seismic reflection and bathymetry collected along the Ecuador–Colombia obliquely convergent margin allow the first characterization of the NNE‐trending, near‐trench strike‐slip Ancon Fault in the possible source region of the 1906‐Mw8.6–8.8 and 1979‐Mw8.2 earthquakes, which produced devastating tsunamis.

Abstract We modeled the evolution of the terrestrial Magma Ocean using the short‐lived 182Hf‐182W isotope system (t1/2 = 8.9 Myr) in a multi‐reservoir early Earth. We start with a chondritic Earth at T0 = 4.567 Ga. Core segregates and attains its present‐day mass, W elemental and isotopic (182W/184W) composition by the end of core formation (TCF).
