Abstract Local and regional‐scaled studies point to the important role of lake type (natural lakes vs. reservoirs), surface water connectivity, and ecological context (multi‐scaled natural settings and human factors) in mediating lake responses to disturbances like drought.

Abstract The Cofán communities rely on the Cofán Bermejo Ecological Reserve for their survival and cultural practices. Due to the rugged and inaccessible topography of the reserve in the Northern Ecuadorian Amazon region, limited biomonitoring and ecological characterization studies of the ecosystem health have been conducted.

Relatedness, trait evolution, and climatic niche divergence in mammalian island endemics
Island mammals have influenced ecological and evolutionary theory since Darwin, and many of them provide textbook examples of the dramatic morphological evolution that often occurs in island communities. However, patterns of evolution in the climatic niches of island mammals have yet to be fully explored.

Novel phylogenetic approaches have emerged in recent years to study traditional medicinal plants, aiming to identify potential sources of new drugs. This line of research holds considerable promise yet remains in its early stages. Here, we examine the prevalent methods employed in the field, revealing the impact of methodological choices that have ...

High extinction risk of the endemic tree flora in a hyper‐diverse region of the Amazon
The rapid global loss of biodiversity, especially in the Neotropics, underscores the need to understand how deforestation impacts endemic plant species' extinction risk and conservation status. Due to limited ranges and habitat specialization, endemics are particularly Vulnerable.

Minimal invariant regions and minimal globally attracting regions for variable-k reaction systems [PDF]
The structure of invariant regions and globally attracting regions is fundamental to understanding the dynamical properties of reaction network models. We describe an explicit construction of the minimal invariant regions and minimal globally attracting regions for dynamical systems consisting of two reversible reactions, where the rate constants are ...
