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...
“Agricultural irrigation with contaminated water poses a major risk to food security and public health. This study examined contaminant transfer across the water–soil–plant continuum in sugarcane crops irrigated with water from the Cauca River, Colombia. Microbial community composition was characterized using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, while pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) in irrigation water and sugarcane plants were q...
Purpose Systematic collection and analysis of antimicrobial resistance data from key bacterial pathogens is essential to contribute to control antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The aim of this work was to survey the drug resistance on clinically relevant organisms stratified according to age, gender, clinical specimens and facilities. Methods Microbiological data were collected from 55 centers across 24 states in Mexico between...
This study investigated the effects of heat stress (HS), calving period, and farm-level management on the metabolic and productive responses of transition dairy cows. Conducted on three commercial farms in northwestern Spain, the study employed a multifactorial design across two seasons (winter and summer) and four peripartum time points. Biochemical parameters, including non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA), β-hydroxybutyrate (BH...
Epidemiological studies focusing on metal(oid) exposure and excess body weight among children show inconsistent results and the influence of metal(loid) mixtures has been little studied. We aimed to explore the effect of 10 metal(loid)s, individually and in combinations, on overweight and obesity among children aged 6–12. Urinary levels of these metal(oid)s from 92 controls and 51 cases with overweight and obesity were analyze...
Wind dispersed tree species have greater maximum heightNARA Subscribed
Aim We test the hypothesis that wind dispersal is more common among emergent tree species given that being tall increases the likelihood of effective seed dispersal. Location Americas, Africa and the Asia‐Pacific. Time period 1970–2020. Major taxa studied Gymnosperms and Angiosperms. Methods We used a dataset consisting of tree inventories from 2821 plots across three biogeographic regions (Americas, Africa and Asia‐Pacific),...
