The Growing Role of Evaporative Demand in Driving Record‐Breaking Droughts in the Amazon Basin
Abstract Amazon droughts have historically been driven by precipitation deficits, but recent escalating drought events highlight a regime shift toward “hot droughts.” By decomposing historical drought drivers (1979–2024), we show that rising evaporative demand (represented by potential evapotranspiration, PET) now acts as a primary driver of drought ...

Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)
Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

B. macrophylla leaf ethyl acetate fractionated extract exhibits the highest TPC, very strong radical‐scavenging activities, and the highest SPF value of 28.64 ± 0.51. LC‐MS analysis identifies m‐trigallic acid, cis‐coutaric acid, and ellagic acid, which may contribute to its bioactivities. The present work highlights B.
