Hydrological Connectivity Enhances Fish Biodiversity in Amazonian Mining Ponds: Insights From eDNA and Traditional Sampling. [PDF]

open access: yesMol Ecol
ABSTRACT Artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) expansion in the Madre de Dios region of the Peruvian Amazon has transformed primary forests into a novel wetland complex of thousands of abandoned mining ponds. Despite their ecological relevance, post‐mining recovery of these systems remains understudied, particularly regarding fish biodiversity ...

What is good drinking water? 41 Years of risk perception on water quality in the vicinity of the Nuclear Research Centre Karlsruhe, 1956–1997

open access: yesRisk, Hazards &Crisis in Public Policy, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 343-365, December 2023., 2023
Abstract This article traces the historical evolution of risk perception around the Nuclear Research Centre Karlsruhe, Germany, from 1956 to 1997. It does so by targeting the evolution of water‐related risks. Federal hopes in the postwar era that the Nuclear Research Centre would bring progress and prosperity clashed with local values and local ...

Compositional shifts of alpine plant communities across the high Andes

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 9, Page 1591-1606, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Climate change is transforming mountain summit plant communities worldwide, but we know little about such changes in the High Andes. Understanding large‐scale patterns of vegetation changes across the Andes, and the factors driving these changes, is fundamental to predicting the effects of global warming.

Endemic crop wild relatives in Chile towards the end of the 21st century: Protected areas and agricultural expansion

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 2241-2254, July/August 2023., 2023
Abstract Climate change is expected to change weather patterns in Chile significantly. Preserving the taxonomic and genetic diversity of crop wild relatives (CWR) is critical to ensure the availability of crops for future human food. However, many CWR are threatened in their natural habitats and underrepresented in gene banks.

Global‐Krigger: A Global Kriging Interpolation Toolbox With Paleoclimatology Examples

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Many applications in Earth sciences require spatial prediction, that is, obtaining a continuous scalar field from a set of discrete scalar data points on the Earth's surface. Such applications include model‐data comparisons and derivation of continuous scalar fields as input for Earth system models. The advantage of kriging as an interpolation

Geographic patterns of tree dispersal modes in Amazonia and their ecological correlates

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 49-69, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim To investigate the geographic patterns and ecological correlates in the geographic distribution of the most common tree dispersal modes in Amazonia (endozoochory, synzoochory, anemochory and hydrochory). We examined if the proportional abundance of these dispersal modes could be explained by the availability of dispersal agents (disperser ...

Local hydrological conditions influence tree diversity and composition across the Amazon basin

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2022, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Tree diversity and composition in Amazonia are known to be strongly determined by the water supplied by precipitation. Nevertheless, within the same climatic regime, water availability is modulated by local topography and soil characteristics (hereafter referred to as local hydrological conditions), varying from saturated and poorly drained to well ...

Foredune responses to the impact of aggregate extraction in an arid aeolian sedimentary system

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 47, Issue 11, Page 2709-2725, 15 September 2022., 2022
Responses in the aeolian sedimentary system affected by an historical aggregate extraction of El Médano (Tenerife, Spain) have been analysed. The methodology comprised two temporal scales: a long‐term evolution based on comparation of historical and current topographical sources, and a short‐term experiment to analyse the airflow dynamics, and the ...

The first fossil record of a bone assemblage accumulated by New World vultures (Gruta do Presépio, Holocene, southern Brazil)

open access: yesBoreas, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 684-697, July 2022., 2022
Here we present the first fossil record of a bone assemblage that could have been accumulated by New World vultures (Cathartidae). The bone remains were found in an archaeological rockshelter called Gruta do Presépio (GPR), located in the tropical rainforest environment of Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil, where groups of hunters and gatherers ...

Mosaic morphology in Podocnemididae revealed by a new turtle from the Middle Miocene La Venta Biome, Colombia

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract A new genus and species of podocnemidid turtle, Shakiremys colombiana, is described here from the Middle Miocene La Venta Biome, located in south‐central Colombia. The new taxon is represented by two specimens: one consisting of a complete skull and articulated shell, and the other of an articulated shell only.
