Trypanosoma cruzi IV causing outbreaks of acute Chagas disease and infections by different haplotypes in the Western Brazilian Amazonia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Chagas disease is an emergent tropical disease in the Brazilian Amazon Region, with an increasing number of cases in recent decades. In this region, the sylvatic cycle of Trypanosoma cruzi transmission, which constitutes a reservoir of ...

Bias Correction of ERA5 Temperature Across Five Topoclimatic Clusters: A Comparative Evaluation of Four Methods

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
ERA5 near‐surface temperature over South America exhibits systematic cold biases in daily maximum temperature and warm biases in daily minimum temperature. To address the continent's strong climatic and topographic heterogeneity, South America was partitioned into five topoclimatic clusters, and four bias‐correction approaches were evaluated. The Multi‐

A Zonal‐Meridional Projection Method for Quantifying Global Land‐Ocean Moisture Transport

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
We present a physically consistent and computationally efficient method to quantify global coastal moisture transport by projecting vertically integrated moisture flux onto signed land–ocean boundary segments. The signed projection naturally distinguishes ocean‐to‐land inflow and land‐to‐ocean outflow without explicit directional classification ...

A regional-scale assessment of climate-resilient corridors and connectivity in the AmazonFigshare

Global Ecology and Conservation
Corridors are an important tool for facilitating habitat connectivity and biodiversity resilience under climate change. In the tropics where latitudinal range shifts are rare, “climate-resilient corridors” connect habitats along elevational gradients to ...

Land‐Atmosphere Coupling Is Associated With Severer Vegetation Productivity Losses During Compound Dry‐Hot Events in Drylands

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Compound dry‐hot events (CDHEs) exerted severer damage on vegetation productivity for temperate shrublands, savannas and grasslands in drylands. Land‐atmosphere coupling was associated with severer negative impacts of CDHEs through soil moisture–temperature feedback, especially for dry‐event‐leading CDHEs.

Morphology and Allometry of Juvenile Açaí Palms Under Cultivation Conditions in Central Amazonia

Horticulturae
Two Amazonian species of açaí palm trees (Euterpe oleracea and Euterpe precatoria) are exploited in the commercial production of açaí pulp or juice. While E. oleracea benefits from developed cultivation technologies, E. precatoria lacks such advancements.

Beyond the Default: How Customizable Artificial Intelligence Agents Can Attenuate Stereotypical Preferences

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT AI agents are typically deployed with gender cues that match traditional role expectations, such as female voices or avatars in assistive and support roles, because stereotype‐congruent designs enhance consumer adoption, trust, and engagement. However, prior research suggests that this practice risks entrenching occupational gender stereotypes
