The future of how we understand and manage ecosystems largely depends on direct and continuous observations that connect local territories to planetary processes. Latin America (LATAM: Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean) hosts ecosystems critical for regulating global carbon, water, and energy cycles. However, persistent underinvestment in science and technology hampers the long‐term monitoring capacity neede...

The increasing use of fish in research emphasizes the need for effective and safe anaesthetic protocols, particularly for early life stages. Eugenol has been proposed as a promising anaesthetic, yet information regarding its effects on Cnesterodon decemmaculatus larvae remains scarce. This study assessed anaesthesia and recovery times, as well as gill tissue integrity, in larvae exposed to different eugenol concentrations. A r...

Poultry litter is widely applied as an organic fertilizer, yet concerns remain regarding the cumulative input and potential accumulation of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in agricultural soils. This study evaluated the medium-term effects of repeated poultry litter application on pseudo-total concentrations and cumulative inputs of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cs), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn) in an acid...

Aim The assembly of tropical tree floras is complex, involving many lineage‐specific histories; however, focusing on the biogeographic history of diverse clades can reveal general patterns. We investigated the historical biogeography of the ecologically important Brazil nut clade (Lecythidoideae) to: (1) expand prior phylogenies with greater sampling of the early branching Andean‐centered subclades; (2) infer the ages and disp...
