Planinasus Cresson, 1914 is a Neotropical periscelidid genus characterized by an abnormally large head, a characteristic more pronounced in the males of some species. It includes 18 living and one fossil species distributed in the New World Tropics, especially in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Guyana, Mexico, Peru, and the Caribbean islands. The genus was recently reviewed, however the diversity of species in Brazil, especially in...
Crown Exposure Regulates Aboveground Wood Productivity Responses to Soil Fertility in Lowland Tropical ForestsNARA Subscribed
Understanding the drivers of aboveground wood productivity (AWP) in tropical forests is crucial for explaining ecosystem functioning and predicting their responses to environmental change. While climatic water availability is a well‐established driver, the role of soil nutrients and their interaction with other resources remains uncertain. We investigated how soil nutrients and light interactions shape AWP in lowland tropical...
Machine Learning-Based Prospective Modeling for Alluvial Gold Mining: A Study Area in ColombiaNARA Subscribed
Alluvial gold mining has a long-standing tradition in many regions of the world and is typically conducted through sediment deposition and riverbed modification. While numerous studies have explored the application of machine learning (ML) techniques for mineral prospectivity mapping in various mining contexts, their use in alluvial gold mining environments remains limited. This study presents three ML-based approaches for pro...
Our primary objective was to compile a comprehensive dataset on bird–window collisions throughout the Neotropical region, including both published and unpublished sources. On May 12, 2020, we extensively disseminated invitations to provide data via email and social media platforms. By providing a template worksheet, we required standardized information from collaborators to complete and register their data. To better understan...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
We assessed changes in daily precipitation extremes for the Fiji Islands from 1905 to 2021 using quality-controlled and homogenized series. We employed a set of 23 precipitation indices that span a wide variability of daily precipitation characteristics, including the frequency, magnitude, and duration. Changes in extreme events were assessed using the non-parametric Kendall’s Tau-based slope estimator, while the significance...
