Background/Objectives: Hispanic immigrants (HIs) in the U.S.A. are disproportionately affected by cervical cancer compared to other groups, at least partly due low HPV vaccination rates. The aim of this study was investigate strategies improve vaccine attitudes and intent HIs developing testing effectiveness video-based interventions. Methods: This employed a two-phase mixed-methods approach. In first phase, focus groups with new established explored perspectives, concerns about vaccination,...
Central America contains a rich diversity of freshwater habitats that support more than 600 species fishes. However, despite several perceived threats to the integrity throughout region, formal analysis extinction risk for region’s ichthyofauna is lacking. In this manuscript, we report an updated checklist and novel comprehensive assessment conservation status American fishes by applying IUCN Red List Categories Criteria at global level. We also analyze distribution across generate baseline...
Abstract Livebearing fishes are a common model for studying the effects of predation on prey biology. Numerous studies have found differences in life history, sexual selection, behavior, and morphology between populations same species that co‐occur with predators those do not. Alfaro cultratus is livebearing fish different environments, but unlike other livebearers, this also has an extreme body shape laterally compressed. Given unusual morphology, we asked if environment would still predict...
Abstract Body-shape variability may respond to the interaction between history and environment, particularly in species whose range includes known biogeographical barriers. Central America has traditionally been regarded have functioned as a complete land-bridge connecting two continents since Plio-Pleistocene an incomplete one much earlier. This helped shape diversification distributions. Vieja maculicauda is widely distributed cichlid, found throughout most of Atlantic slope America,...
Abstract ∙ Acorn Woodpeckers (Melanerpes formicivorus) have been widely studied in North America, mainly due to their complex social system. As a resident bird, much of America hoard acorns for use during the winter and following spring. The importance this resource, along with geographic differences woodpecker’s ecology, has not as elsewhere its range, which extends all way through Middle northern Colombia. This review summarizes published research from five different countries adds...
