- Abstract:
- ... Although the nutrition situation in most Latin American countries is improving and malnutrition is easing, worrisome factors are emerging. Huge rural-to-urban migrations have been accompanied by a worsening nutrition situation in rural populations, especially in Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil, a phenomenon not readily apparent from average food availability and malnutrition data. Average figures can ...

- Abstract:
- ... In South and Central America, tens of thousands of hectares of oil palms (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) are affected by bud-rot types of disease. Having destroyed entire estates in Panama, Colombia, Suriname, Brazil and Ecuador, they are holding back the development of oil palm cultivation in Latin America. The cause is unknown. Indeed, 30 years after these diseases first wreaked havoc on a large scale ...

Enchytraeid research is not so well developed, mainly due to their small size, the difficulty of identification, and the general ignorance of LA scientists of this family. Some countries, such as Brazil, Colombia and Mexico have active taxonomists, and hence tend to have better knowledge of oligochae ...
