“…Studies focusing on the Amazon biome [42][43][44] have underscored the correlation between deforestation activities and temperature rises. Furthermore, these temperature fluctuations have been shown to exacerbate rainfall variability and contribute to heightened fire occurrences [34,46].Similar findings have been documented for other key Brazilian biomes. For instance, investigations into the Cerrado biome have highlighted analogous trends [47].…”

We present a methodology designed to study the spatial heterogeneity of climate change. Our approach involves decomposing the observed changes in temperature patterns into multiple trend, cycle, and seasonal components within spatio-temporal models. We apply this method to test the hypothesis of a global long-term temperature trend against multiple trends in distinct biomes. Applying this methodology, we delve into the examination of heterogeneity of climate change in Brazil — a country characterized by a spectrum of climate zones. The findings challenge the notion of a global trend, revealing the presence of distinct trends in warming effects, and more accelerated trends for the Amazon and Cerrado biomes, indicating a composition between global warming and deforestation in determining changes in permanent temperature patterns.

“…In the case of Cacajao populations, black uakaris have been categorized by the IUCN red list of endangered species as low concern (ML 59 , AY 60 ) and vulnerable (HS 61 ), and display a wider and rather continuous distribution range in contrast to bald uakaris 22 , being reported to migrate to different habitat types 19 . Despite these populations show higher habitat versatility and are found in the northern distribution in the Amazon Rainforest - further from the deforestation focus 62 - their conservation status is still of concern, in particular, because of the high hunting pressure they are exposed to 61 .…”

“…Although habitat loss is currently not an immediate threat for all these populations, particularly for those of northern distributions (e.g. C. calvus and C. rubicundus) 62 , it is relevant to acknowledge their vulnerability linked to habitat specificity 20 . There is yet a relevant exception in populations of C. ucayalii (UC was sampled in this study), which are the only bald uakaris to be reported at high altitude non-flooded forests and show the largest distribution range 23,67 .…”

“…The Cacajao genus has been under thorough taxonomic review in the recent past 16,20 , probably the reason why all bald uakaris are still assessed as subspecies of C. calvus, following the taxonomic classification of Hershkovitz (1987). Accordingly, two taxa were categorized as Vulnerable -ucayalii 63 and novaesi 64 and two more -calvus 65 and rubicundus 66 -as Least Concern, likely in relation to their northern distributions 62 . Also, Cacajao amuna is the only taxon not assessed yet as it was recently described 20 .…”

Uakari monkeys (genusCacajao) are endemic to the Amazon rainforest. These have been divided into two main groups: bald and black, mainly based on phenotypic and ecological differences, for which eight taxonomic species have been described. We present 48 geo-localized high coverage whole genomes from uakaris in wild populations across their habitat range. The resolution in terms of sequencing depth provided by this dataset has allowed us to closely explore the structure and evolutionary past of these populations inhabiting the highly dynamic and diverse Amazon rainforest, unavailable until now. Also, we have refined previous phylogenetic estimates by presenting the first whole genome phylogenies available forCacajao, which were built based on 1Mb and 250kb windows respectively. In this context, bald and black uakaris showed differing genetic diversity ranges, group-specific non-synonymous variation enriched for pathogen-related pathways, and strong population structure, both among and within species. Despite the latter, connectivity was common inside each group whilst strongly shaped by allopatric barriers. Strikingly, even though their habitat ranges partially overlap, no migration was detected between these two groups. Lastly, demographic inference was performed employing a maximum likelihood approach, with which we i) obtained overall higher effective population size estimates for bald extant and ancestral populations than black in agreement with genetic diversity patterns, and ii) found the evolutionary divergence times in the genus were as old as one million years, depicting a quite recent evolutionary history. With this work we increased the representation of wild non-human primates in genomic studies, particularly that of platyrrhine lineages such asCacajao.

“…Since then, greater attention has been paid to sustainability at different levels of governance structures in financial institutions, companies in the public and private sectors, and in governments across the planet (Death and Gabay, 2015 ). Nevertheless, the ongoing deforestation of the Amazon (Silva et al, 2023 ) and rising levels of greenhouse gas emissions are posing severe threats to the health of our planet. This, in turn, is leading to a chain of climate phenomena that have an impact on the economies of nations and the quality of life of their populations (Espinoza et al, 2023 ), as well as an increase in the frequency of severe natural disasters (Mishra et al, 2022 ).…”

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global appeal to protect the environment, combat climate change, eradicate poverty, and ensure access to a high quality of life and prosperity for all. The next decade is crucial for determining the planet’s direction in ensuring that populations can adapt to climate change. This study aims to investigate the progress, challenges, opportunities, trends, and prospects of the SDGs through a bibliometric analysis from 2015 to 2022, providing insight into the evolution and maturity of scientific research in the field. The Web of Science core collection citation database was used for the bibliometric analysis, which was conducted using VOSviewer and RStudio. We analyzed 12,176 articles written in English to evaluate the present state of progress, as well as the challenges and opportunities surrounding the SDGs. This study utilized a variety of methods to identify research hotspots, including analysis of keywords, productive researchers, and journals. In addition, we conducted a comprehensive literature review by utilizing the Web of Science database. The results show that 31% of SDG-related research productivity originates from the USA, China, and the UK, with an average citation per article of 15.06. A total of 45,345 authors around the world have contributed to the field of SDGs, and collaboration among authors is also quite high. The core research topics include SDGs, climate change, Agenda 2030, the circular economy, poverty, global health, governance, food security, sub-Saharan Africa, the Millennium Development Goals, universal health coverage, indicators, gender, and inequality. The insights gained from this analysis will be valuable for young researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and public officials as they seek to identify patterns and high-quality articles related to SDGs. By advancing our understanding of the subject, this research has the potential to inform and guide future efforts to promote sustainable development. The findings indicate a concentration of research and development on SDGs in developed countries rather than in developing and underdeveloped countries. Graphical abstract
