Diversification and coexistence amid widespread and persistent gene flow in Andean trees

Hybridization and introgression are increasingly recognized as important in plant evolution, yet their prevalence and consequences remain poorly understood in tropical Andean trees, where species coexist at low densities and turn over rapidly across elevation gradients. Here, we...

Design of a Constructed Wetland as a Nature-Based Solution for the Japanese Garden Lagoon, La Paz, Bolivia

The Japanese Garden of La Paz, Bolivia, is a sociocultural space with high biodiversity, with its lagoon receiving treated effluent from the “Las Cholas” Wastewater Treatment Unit. Preliminary monitoring revealed elevated organic matter concentrations, raising concerns about wate...

Characterizing tree species richness in Indigenous Peoples’ lands: addressing often-overlooked data limitations and biases

Abstract Several studies have characterized species richness distribution in Indigenous Peoples’ Lands (IPL) using global biodiversity datasets. However, these datasets contain substantial limitations and biases which may compromise the accuracy of spatial biodiversity assessment...

Microfragmented Adipose Tissue in Pain Management: Bridging Regenerative Biology and Clinical Therapeutics

Regenerative medicine has emerged as a transformative paradigm in contemporary healthcare, shifting the therapeutic focus from symptomatic management toward the restoration of tissue structure and function through biologically active interventions. Within this framework, adipose-...
