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 diet of Prionotus nudigula in coastal waters off Uruguay and northern Argentina (36°–41° S) and their variation in relation to body size, region and season were determined by analysis of stomach contents. Additionally, the trophic level of this species was estimated to establish its ecological role in this marine region. A total of 352 individuals were analysed, of which 308 (87.05%), ranging from 78 to 285 mm in total len...

The microclimatic conditions within forests have great importance for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Consequently, understanding how management and associated changes in forest structure drive the inter-annual variability in forest microclimates is critical to forecasting ecosystem responses to climate change. Here, we investigated the impact of the amount of harvested timber on the inter-annual variability of forest...

Although the medical use of copper dates back millennia and medicines based on copper nanoparticles have been employed for over a century, their benefits are still often questioned. Over the past three decades, advances in nanotechnology have renewed interest in copper-based nanoformulations for healthcare. While most preclinical studies have focused on systemically administered copper nanomedicines for a broad range of therap...
