Media structure of social collectivities in Latin America: the case of Uruguay, Argentina, Ecuador and Bolivia

Los medios comunitarios, especialmente en el ámbito de la radio, son una tradición en América Latina y su aporte es muy significativo para la democracia y como forma de expresión de sectores de la población de menos recursos. Destacamos la situación en Uruguay, Argentina, Ecuador y Bolivia, cuyo impulso normativo lidera en el continente la democratización del acceso al espectro, aunque como hemos comprobado su desarrollo legislativo y estructural todavía no se ha completado. Dada esta premisa, las técnicas de investigación que se han manejado han sido el análisis documental de fuentes bibliográficas y hemerográficas, y la conversación personal directa.The existence of community media, especially in the field of radio, is a long tradition in Latin America and its contribution is very significant, both for democracy and forms of expression of vast sectors of the population with fewer resources. However, this reality has not always been accompanied by legal recognition by states as a sector with the same opportunities as public or private media. However, it is notorious that there has been a significant advance in the recognition of community media in the region. In this text we highlight the situation in Uruguay, Argentina, Ecuador and Bolivia, whose normative impulse leads in the continent the democratization of spectrum access, although as we have proven its legislative and structural development has not yet been completed. In the search for this reality in this text we have tried an inductive approach to our object of study with the intention of finding those elements that best allow us to describe and analyze it. Given this premise, the research techniques that have been handled have been, essentially, the documentary analysis of diverse sources, among them the bibliographic and the hemerographic ones, and the direct personal conversation.Ciencias de la Comunicació

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

ATLANTIC-PRIMATES: a dataset of communities and occurrences of primates in the Atlantic Forests of South America

Primates play an important role in ecosystem functioning and offer critical insights into human evolution, biology, behavior, and emerging infectious diseases. There are 26 primate species in the Atlantic Forests of South America, 19 of them endemic. We compiled a dataset of 5,472 georeferenced locations of 26 native and 1 introduced primate species, as hybrids in the genera Callithrix and Alouatta. The dataset includes 700 primate communities, 8,121 single species occurrences and 714 estimates of primate population sizes, covering most natural forest types of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina and some other biomes. On average, primate communities of the Atlantic Forest harbor 2 ± 1 species (range = 1–6). However, about 40% of primate communities contain only one species. Alouatta guariba (N = 2,188 records) and Sapajus nigritus (N = 1,127) were the species with the most records. Callicebus barbarabrownae (N = 35), Leontopithecus caissara (N = 38), and Sapajus libidinosus (N = 41) were the species with the least records. Recorded primate densities varied from 0.004 individuals/km 2 (Alouatta guariba at Fragmento do Bugre, Paraná, Brazil) to 400 individuals/km 2 (Alouatta caraya in Santiago, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil). Our dataset reflects disparity between the numerous primate census conducted in the Atlantic Forest, in contrast to the scarcity of estimates of population sizes and densities. With these data, researchers can develop different macroecological and regional level studies, focusing on communities, populations, species co-occurrence and distribution patterns. Moreover, the data can also be used to assess the consequences of fragmentation, defaunation, and disease outbreaks on different ecological processes, such as trophic cascades, species invasion or extinction, and community dynamics.

We also request that researchers and teachers inform us of how they are using the data. © 2018 by the The Authors. Ecology © 2018 The Ecological Society of Americ
