Abstract In Northwestern South America (NWSA) geodetic observations point to a consistent northeastward displacement of blocks, while the geological record shows a predominant shortening in NW‐SE direction. Such clear evidence of strain partitioning has been extensively studied in the context of two convergent plates, but not in complex tectonic area ...

(A) Tectonic model of the Putumayo Basin showing the several collisional events that triggered the inversion of preexistent Jurassic rift sequences during the Upper Cretaceous and their influence in the provenance sources from the synorogenic deposits. Brown arrows suggest Amazonian and Putumayo basement sources, dark green arrows suggest a provenance ...

Una lista anotada de las aves de la isla Malpelo
La avifauna de Malpelo ha sido poco estudiada porque la Isla es remota, de difícil acceso y estuvo deshabitada hasta 1986. Pese a que existen registros de aves publicados desde finales del siglo XIX, casi todos los estudios han consistido en anotaciones esporádicas sobre la fauna terrestre.

A Review of the Status of Sharks, Rays and Chimaeras of Panama to Guide Research and Conservation
ABSTRACT Chondrichthyan fishes (sharks, rays and chimaeras) are a group of high conservation concern globally. Species are impacted by varying threats, although fishing pressure is the primary stressor causing population declines. Panama comprises both Pacific and Caribbean coastlines with a diversity of estuarine and marine habitats supporting small ...

Abstract We use new and published detrital zircon U‐Pb data (n > 10,000) from Oligocene‐Pliocene strata of intermontane basins of the western Colombian Andes and surrounding regions to study the evolution of sedimentary systems during the transition from arc collision/accretion to subduction.

Abstract Ecotourism plays a vital role in both economic development and depending on the scale, it can also aid environmental conservation. Ecotourism planning often considers culture‐based and nature‐based tourism separately, failing to recognize the synergies between them, with the potential to market locations as biocultural destinations.

New photographic records of eight marine fishes from the Galápagos Islands, including three first records for the Eastern Tropical Pacific [PDF]
We provide photographic evidence for eight fish species from five families, not previously seen within the Galápagos Marine Reserve. Four species are native to the Central Tropical Pacific and likely arrived during recent El Niño ...

Zircon Xenocrysts From Easter Island (Rapa Nui) Reveal Hotspot Activity Since the Middle Jurassic
Abstract We report the finding of mantle‐derived zircon grains retrieved from red soils, regoliths, and beach sands from Easter Island, that are much older than the island volcanism (0–2.5 Ma) and its underlying lithosphere (Pliocene, 3–4.8 Ma). A large population of 0–165 Ma old zircons have coherent oxygen (δ18O 3.8–5.9‰) and hafnium (εHf(t)+3.5–+12 ...
