Biodegradable Sodium Alginate Films Incorporated With Microcapsules of Amazonian Buriti Fruit Oil ( Mauritia flexuosa L.)

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 102, Issue 9, Page 1289-1302, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Pollution caused by plastic polymers is a growing concern as it compromises biodiversity and human health. As a sustainable solution, developing biodegradable films, such as sodium alginate, is promising due to its low vapor permeability, flexibility, gloss, and cost‐effectiveness.

Ensuring Pollinator Presence in Expanding Oil Crops: The Case of Mystrops debilis (Nitidulidae) and the Macauba Palm (Acrocomia aculeata, Arecaceae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 8, Page 1180-1195, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The macauba palm (Acrocomia aculeata, Arecaceae) is a Neotropical native oil palm, increasingly important in Central and South America due to rising demand for raw materials and its potential for bioenergy. Understanding its pollinator ecology is crucial to identify new areas for cultivation. This study examines the structure of floral visitor

A Large Amazonian Peatland Carbon Sink Was Eliminated by Photoinhibition of Photosynthesis and Amplified Ecosystem Respiration

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 13, 16 July 2025.
Abstract The fate of tropical peatland carbon cycling under environmental change is highly uncertain. We found that a palm swamp peatland in the Peruvian Amazon that was a strong annual sink for 2 years switched to carbon neutral in the absence of a major anthropogenic disturbance. We attributed the change in carbon sink strength to (a) photoinhibition

Palm Demography Is Biased Towards Neotropical and Human‐Used Species, While the Richest Biogeographic Region and Threatened Taxa Are Neglected

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Demographic studies are essential for understanding how species populations respond over time to environmental conditions and anthropogenic pressures. This knowledge is crucial for developing effective conservation and management strategies. The Arecaceae family (palms), comprising approximately 2500 species, plays significant ecological and ...

Interdependencies between Indigenous peoples, local communities, and freshwater systems in a changing Amazon

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract Globally, Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPs and LCs) are fighting for the recognition of their knowledge and decision‐making authority in freshwater conservation. In the Amazon, decision‐making around freshwater management and conservation has often overlooked Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) and the connections between ...
