Due to the many factors controlling δ13C values in stalagmites, complicating their paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental interpretation, most studies do not present δ13C values, but instead focus mainly on δ18O values. This is also the case for most cave studies from tropical South America, where many new δ18O stalagmite records covering the last mi...

Objectives To evaluate the genomic diversity and geographic distribution of SARS-CoV-2 lineages currently circulating in South America (SA). Methods SARS-CoV-2 lineages reported from South American countries were analyzed from a public dataset of 5597 genome assemblies. Polymorphisms in the main open reading frames were identified and compared to t...

South American chiggers have historically been poorly studied, and this has continued into present times. Of the 33 genera in the family Leeuwenhoekiidae Womersley, only Odontacarus Ewing and Sasacarus Brennan & Jones have been reported in Peru. Here, we describe a new genus, Peruacarus n. gen., and a new species, Peruacarus anthurium n. sp., paras...

The temporal variations in a vertical reference frame depend on the variations in the reference surface (e.g., the geoid), and in the surface where the benchmarks are located. The mass redistribution on and beneath the Earth’s surface generates changes in the geoid, which is the reference surface for orthometric heights. To model the phenomena and ...

BackgroundColombia has the fourth highest incidence rate of HIV/AIDS among all Latin American countries and it has been increasing since the 1980s. However, the number of studies that addresses this trend is limited. Here, we employed spatial and temporal trend analyses to study the behaviour of the epidemic in the Colombian territory.MethodsOur sa...
