The following five species are described as new: (Colombia), (Colombia), (Costa Rica), (Colombia) and (Colombia). In addition, new records for the following 11 species are presented: Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Colombia, Brazilian Amazonia, Costa Rica), Hippa, Kurina & Sääksjärvi, 2017 (Brazilian Amazonia), Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Colombia, Costa Rica), Hippa & Kurina, 2013 (Brazilian Amazonia), Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Colombia) and Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica). Distribution patterns include (1) species known only locally in Costa Rica or Colombia, (2) distributions connecting Central America to west Andes lowlands, and (3) north-west Neotropical components, extending from Central America to Brazilian Amazonia. The possible biogeographical and taxonomical context of species with a widespread distribution is considered.

Remotely-sensed risk assessments of emerging, invasive pathogens are key to targeted surveillance and outbreak responses. The recent emergence and spread of the fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), in Europe has negatively impacted multiple salamander species. Scholars and practitioners are increasingly concerned about the potential consequences of this lethal pathogen in the Americas, where salamander biodiversity is higher than anywhere else in the world.

Importance: There is growing understanding that Social Determinants of Health (SDH) impact on the outcomes of different pediatric conditions. We aimed to determine whether SDH affect the severity of MIS-C.
Design: Retrospective cohort study, 2021-2023.

The COVID-19 pandemic marked a before and after in the business world, causing a growing demand for applications that streamline operations, reduce delivery times and costs, and improve the quality of products. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) has taken a relevant role in improving these processes, since it incorporates mathematical models that allow analyzing the logical structure of the systems to detect and reduce errors or failures in real-time. This study aimed to determine the most relevant aspects to be considered for detecting software defects using AI.

We briefly review the history and development of recognizing nematode assemblages as indicators of environmental conditions. We highlight the effects of spatio-temporal successional changes in nematode assemblages on the auto-regeneration of ecosystem functions after disturbance. We expand on the need for herbivory components in the analysis of soil nematode assemblages in recognition of the important impact of plant parasitism on the resources and productivity of the soil system.
