Evaluation of the Synergies of Land Use Changes and the Quality of Ecosystem Services in the Andean Zone of Central Ecuador by Yadira Carmen Pazmiño, José Juan de Felipe, Marc Vallbé, Franklin Cargua, Yomara Pazmiño

“…Multilayer Perception, Markov Chains, and Automata Cells algorithms were efficient for the detection of land uses in páramo; the normalized differential humidity index was the most relevant variable to identify crops, showing that leaf properties and water stress are linked to crop yields in the Andean region. The páramo decreased by 13% between 2000 and 2010, increasing its degradation to 19% between 2010 and 2020. …”

Envisioning a Catholic Past, Present and Future: Conversion, Recuperation and Andean Christianity in Talavera, Peru by Christine Lee

“…As the article discusses, in a national context where Catholicism is dominant and ubiquitous to the point of hegemony, this is an inherently political stance which runs counter to longstanding harmful stereotypes of indigenous Andeans as not ‘real’ Catholics and thus unable to be ‘real’ Peruvians.…”

Ephedra shrubs facilitate local arthropod communities in the Andean Puna: Implications for conservation and habitat restoration by Natalia I. Yela, Javier Torréns, Antonella Y. Díaz Casas, Juca A. San Martín, Adriana Aranda-Rickert

“…In this study, we examined the hypothesis that plant facilitation by the desert shrub species Ephedra multiflora and E. breana positively influences the epigeal arthropod communities of the Andean Puna. We found that arthropod abundance, richness and diversity were all higher on Ephedra shrub microsites relative to paired open microsites. …”

Mush Amalgamation, Short Residence, and Sparse Detectability of Eruptible Magma Before Andean Super‐Eruptions by G. Weber, J. Blundy, D. Bevan

“…Here we show, using Sr isotope zonation in plagioclase crystals from three Andean large‐magnitude eruptions (Atana, Toconao, and Tara ignimbrites), that eruptible magma forms by amalgamation of isotopically diverse crystal populations and silicic melt without large‐scale reheating. …”

Impacts on water transport networks after three widespread volcanic ashfalls in Andean Patagonian lakes by Pablo Salgado, Gustavo Villarosa, Débora Beigt, Valeria Outes, Carol Stewart, Fernando Baranzini

“…Three recent widespread ashfall events severely affected the extensive shipping activity that takes place in the many lakes of Andean Patagonia, Argentina. By means of impact assessment fieldtrips, meetings, semi-structured interviews, and expert consultation, we surveyed and categorized impacts of volcanic ash on ships, ports and shipping activities, also assessing most effective mitigation strategies undertaken, including clean-up actions. …”

Habitat simplification changes temporal patterns of invertebrate beta diversity in a high-Andean stream by Juan David González-Trujillo, Yenni Lizeth Alonso-Moreno

“…Here, we investigated the temporal responses of stream invertebrate communities to habitat simplification and flow variability in two stretches of a high-Andean stream: an undisturbed and a channelized stretch. …”

Microencapsulation of Purple Mashua Extracts Using Andean Tuber Starches Modified by Octenyl Succinic Anhydride by Frank Fluker Velásquez-Barreto, Carmen Eloisa Velezmoro Sánchez

“…This work is aimed at optimising the spray drying conditions of the phenolic extracts of purple mashua microencapsulated with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) Andean tuber starches. Purple mashua extracts were obtained and spray dried using native and OSA starches of yellow oca, pink oca, and yellow olluco (140°C, 4% starch). …”

An Early Ordovician (Floian) Conodont Fauna from the Eastern Cordillera of Peru (Central Andean Basin) by J.C. GUTIÉRREZ-MARCO, G.L. ALBANESI, G.N. SARMIENTO, V.S. CARLOTTO CAILLAUX

“…This study updates the preliminary data presented in 2001 from this fossil locality, and it has important consequences for the paleogeographic reconstruction of the Peruvian part of the Central Andean Basin. In accordance with trilobites and brachiopods documented for the same strata, the conodont association represents a relatively cold-shallow-water platform environment. …”
