Abstract Ex situ plant collections may be increasingly needed to protect representative samples of threatened or rare species and provide plant material for conservation translocation. A primary problem in these ex situ collections is loss of intraspecific variation due to plant death. Different management actions would be required depending on whether

We assessed post‐fire germination of Araucaria araucana in the southern Andes and found that seed viability and germination increased markedly (from 65% to 90%) between 1 and 8 years after a severe wildfire. Improved germination at longer time‐since‐fire reflects a recovery of reproductive capacity in this ecologically and culturally significant ...

I'll Be Dammed: Efficiency and Cost‐Analysis of a Rehabilitated Prehispanic Dam in the Andes
ABSTRACT Within archaeology there is a growing shift away from the purely aesthetic towards making the past relevant to present and future needs and demands. The Past Water Futures project charts the impact of ancient dam rehabilitation on climate change‐induced water scarcity in the North Central Andes.

Enforcing environmental law in the Amazon
Abstract This article identifies the underlying obstacles to enforcement of laws against environmental crimes such as illegal logging, mining and ranching. With four departments (provinces) from Colombia as case studies, it assesses enforcement of the country's main environmental law, Law 2111, which is one of Latin America's strongest. The article has

Long‐term jaguar demography underscores the ecological value of Amazonian floodplains
Our results provide the first estimates of recruitment and apparent survival for Amazonian jaguars, key parameters for guiding conservation. We show that seasonal wetlands—the Amazonian floodplain forest and reported estimates from Pantanal and the Llanos—harbour the highest jaguar densities across the species' range.

Linking environmental pathogen detection with host infection patterns can improve surveillance of diseases involving environmental transmission, particularly where direct host sampling is logistically challenging. This approach enables the identification of areas of elevated transmission risk and supports targeted monitoring and management under ...

Widely studied stability drivers such as plant diversity and functional composition have only partial explanatory power for short‐term drought resistance of above‐ground productivity in grasslands at a global scale. The abiotic context, particularly long‐term aridity, is crucial for understanding ecosystem responses to rainfall variation and can ...

Climate Predicts Tree Dispersal Strategies Across Brazil's Ecosystems
ABSTRACT Aim We investigate the distribution of dispersal modes—endozoochory (via animal ingestion), synzoochory (via animal seed accumulation) and anemochory (via wind)—and seed mass of woody plants across Brazilian ecosystems, testing whether their relative abundance in local plant communities could be predicted by climate, edaphic factors and ...
