Combined effects of landscape composition and pesticide use on herbivore and pollinator functions in smallholder farms by Quentin Struelens, Diego Mina, Olivier Dangles

“…Finally, we hypothesize that peculiarities of tropical smallholder cropping systems and landscapes could explain the non-significant landscape effects on insect-based processes, which calls for more research in places outside the well-studied temperate region. …”

Contradicciones de la Amazonía en el Brasil: Una nueva perspectiva by Creucí Maria Caetano, Diego Geraldo Caetano Nunes

“…Tal presión, puede ser caracterizada como sigue: i) la deforestación creciente, con la tala ilegal de árboles nativas y las quemas, con consecuentes cambios en el uso del suelo tropical; por lo general, indebidamente manejado con implementación de monocultivos y técnicas inadecuadas para estos tipos de suelos; ii) la invasión a tierras indígenas y áreas de unidades de conservación, poniendo en riesgo el patrimonio sociocultural y la sociobiodiversidad; además, compromete también el patrimonio genético, del cual, un número expresivo de especies no son todavía conocidos y que podrían contrarrestar adversidades relacionadas con el cambio climático. …”

Meteorological Analysis of Floods in Ghana by S. O. Ansah, M. A. Ahiataku, C. K. Yorke, F. Otu-Larbi, Bashiru Yahaya, P. N. L. Lamptey, M. Tanu

“…The slow-moving thunderstorms lasted for about 8 hours due to the weak African Easterly Wave (AEW) and Tropical Easterly Jet (TEJ). Results from the analysis showed that surface pressures were low with significant amount of moisture influx aiding the thunderstorms intensification, which produced 90.1 mm and 114.6 mm of rainfall over Accra and Kumasi, respectively. …”

Ecological-based insights into bat populations in the Yucatán Peninsula under a One Health approach: coexistence or biophobia by Ma. Fernanda Sánchez-Soto, Osiris Gaona, Ricardo Mercado-Juárez, Ricardo Mercado-Juárez, Alfredo Yanez-Montalvo, Arit de León-Lorenzana, Gabriela Borja-Martínez, Gabriela Borja-Martínez, Daniela Zaldívar, Stephany Rodríguez-González, Erika N. Hernández-Villegas, Andres Moreira-Soto, Jan Felix Drexler, Gerardo Suzán, Ella Vázquez-Domínguez, Luisa I. Falcón

“…The Yucatán Peninsula (YP) is home to approximately 60 bat species with differing feeding strategists that, collectively, are fundamental for the health of tropical forests. During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, biophobic (aversive) responses towards bats were recorded in urban and rural areas of the YP, making evident the need to monitor bat diversity, investigate species’ biology (e.g., microbiome) and, perhaps most importantly, conduct educational activities that foster an affinity for bats. …”
