Photos: In the Colombian Amazon, fishing binds a community to river and forest VAUPÉS, Colombia — The Vaupés River and its extensive network of waterways and lagoons in the southeastern Colombian department of the same name are integral to the Indigenous Macaquiño community,…

For the Macaquiño community in Colombia’s Vaupés, fishing is part of a deep cultural and spiritual bond with local waters.

But modern gear like longlines and mesh nets is reducing fish stocks and eroding ancestral practices, as fewer people now know how to make traditional tools.

Seedling emergence is catastrophically affected by depth of volcanic ash

5 cm of volcanic ash leads to the loss of seedling emergence on the volcanic island of La Palma, likely affecting succession for decades after a recent eruption.

Vernalization enforces seed dormancy in the agricultural weed Alopecurus myosuroides (Huds.) | Seed Science Research | Cambridge Core Vernalization enforces seed dormancy in the agricultural weed Alopecurus myosuroides (Huds.)

In black grass, one of the most important weeds in Central European cereal fields, winter cold during vegetative growth boosts seed dormancy in the offspring. A study in #SeedScienceResearch links this to epigenetic changes, influencing weed emergence patterns in crops.
