The last deglaciation of Peru and Bolivia
Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2017 The tropical Andes of Peru and Bolivia are important for preserving geomorphic evidence of multiple glaciations, allowing for refinements of chronology to aid in understanding climate dynamics at a key location between hemispheres. This review focuses on

Parasites & Vectors, 2022 Background Dipylidium caninum is the causal agent of dipylidiasis affecting mainly cats and dogs worldwide. Human cases of dipylidiasis are rare, and the diagnosis is prevalently based on morphological features of the parasite.

Microbial carbon mineralization in tropical lowland and montane forest soils of Peru [PDF]
, 2016 Climate change is affecting the amount and complexity of plant inputs to tropical forest soils. This is likely to influence the carbon (C) balance of these ecosystems by altering decomposition processes e.g., "positive priming effects" that accelerate ...

Micronutrients and tropical infections [PDF]
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1994 There is now considerable evidence for bidirectional interactions between micronutrients and tropical infections but it is clear that research to date has only touched the surface of the problem and much remains to be learned at both the basic science and public health levels.

Solar Flow Synthesis of Polymer Nanoparticles: Scaling Local Experiments to Global Potential
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.The large‐scale sunlight‐induced photochemical synthesis of polymer nanoparticles based on the Diels–Alder step‐growth polymerization of a bismaleimide and a difunctional o‐methylbenzaldehyde in a self‐built solar flow reactor is introduced. Furthermore, a framework is established to translate sunlight‐driven experimental results globally—validated in ...

Germination responses to light of four Neotropical forest tree species along an elevational gradient in the southern Central Andes [PDF]
, 2020 Seed germination is a key part of plants' life cycle and is mostly affected by the genetic background, the environmental conditions experienced by the mother plant and the seedbed conditions.

Ecography, EarlyView.Species diversity typically increases from higher to lower latitudes, but the regional‐scale variation along this geographic gradient remains unclear. It has been suggested that species diversity throughout Amazonia generally increases westward toward the Andes, but this pattern and its environmental determinants require further investigation for most ...
