Reference-Guided Chromosome-Scale Genome Assembly With Insights on Population Genomics of the Atlantic Goliath Grouper (<i>Epinephelus itajara</i>), Islas del Rosario, Colombia. [PDF]
We present a high‐quality chromosome‐level genome assembly and population genomic analysis of the critically endangered Goliath grouper (Epinephelus itajara) using PacBio HiFi and Illumina sequencing technologies. The 1.12 Gb genome assembly showed high contiguity and identified 22,692 protein‐coding genes, while comparative analyses revealed conserved

Local Adaptation to Current but Not Future Climate in Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests: Population Genomic Evidence in a Neotropical Legume Tree. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Neotropical seasonally dry biomes are amongst the world's most threatened ecosystems and are predicted to lose more biodiversity with climate change. The capacity of natural populations to respond to these changes depends on their genetic variation, but is poorly understood in most Neotropical seasonally dry forest species.

Instrumental Reminiscence and Coping Strategies in Older Adults Exposed to Armed Conflict in Colombia. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Older adults exposed to prolonged sociopolitical violence often experience chronic stress that may undermine adaptive coping processes. Instrumental reminiscence, which focuses on recalling past experiences of successfully managing adversity, has been proposed as a strategy potentially associated with greater coping flexibility in later life ...

Nocturnal Sleep Breathing Patterns in Healthy Adolescents Residing at Very High Altitudes in Bolivia. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Data on sleep and respiratory patterns among adolescents residing at very high altitude (> 3500 m) remain scarce, and altitude‐related physiological differences may influence these parameters. Studying adolescents at different very high altitudes is crucial, as subtle environmental variations could affect sleep‐related oxygenation and ...

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Protected areas on international borders show uneven conservation outcomes
Abstract Border protected areas (BPAs) are national protected areas that are immediately adjacent to a country's border or span two or more countries; they are characterized by distinctive opportunities and pressures. They play a critical role in protecting carbon‐rich ecosystems, conserving endangered biodiversity, reducing cross‐border environmental ...

Home sweet harm: Confinement and tranquilidad in post‐asylum Peru
Abstract This article examines how Peru's Community Mental Health (CMH) model contributes to the exclusion and home confinement of mentally ill individuals. Based on the experience of a woman diagnosed with schizophrenia and her mother, I show how CMH's emphasis on community‐based care often fails in practice, as neighbors respond to people with mental

Bauhinia naniflora: a new species of section Amaria (Cercidoideae: Leguminosae) from Colombia
Bauhinia, the most species‐rich genus of Cercidoideae (Leguminosae), is pantropically distributed and includes four sections in the Americas. During an ongoing taxonomic revision of American Cercidoideae, a new species of Bauhinia sect. Amaria ser. Decandrae currently endemic to Colombia was identified and is here described as Bauhinia naniflorasp nov.

ABSTRACT Although some studies focus on how bureaucrats' interactions with one another affect performance, they rarely focus on why these public servants collaborate. Bureaucrats' collaboration matters because it can significantly contribute to achieving policy goals.

Phylogeny and updated infrageneric classification of Asemeia (Polygalaceae)
Abstract The family Polygalaceae comprises approximately 1200 species in 30 genera worldwide. Among the four tribes within the family, tribe Polygaleae is characterized by unique flower structures resembling those of Leguminosae‐Papilionoideae. Asemeia is a genus within tribe Polygaleae, consisting of 36 species and 1 variety distributed throughout the
