https://revistas.iiap.gob.pe/index.php/foliaamazonica/article/view/753
<p>La forestación y reforestación ayudan a frenar la deforestación; pero las escasas plantaciones forestales existen en el Perú se caracterizan por tener baja productividad, debido al uso de semillas de calidad genética deficiente. La primera fase de los programas de mejoramiento es la selección en masa, evaluándose características dasométricas y morfométricas. Se reporta pudrición medular en árboles amazónicos, pero su sanidad se evalúa con técnicas poco precisa o no se considera. El presente estudio tuvo por objetivo demostrar que la tomografía acústica es una tecnología fundamental en la selección de árboles semilleros en la Amazonía peruana. Las especies evaluadas fueron<em> Anaueria brasiliensis</em>, <em>Aspidosperma parvifolium, Bertholletia excelsa, Cedrelinga cateniformis, Dipteryx micrantha, Nectandra cuspidata </em>y<em> Schefflera morototoni. </em>Se utilizó el tomógrafo acústico para evaluar la sanidad interna. Se analizó la incidencia por especie y el porcentaje de afectación mediante la prueba no paramétrica de Kruskal-Wallis; así mismo, se evaluó la asociación de la sanidad interna con variables dasométricas, mediante Análisis de Componentes Principales y correlación. <em>Anaueria brasiliensis</em> presentó en promedio los mayores porcentajes de afectación (45,4%), por otro lado, <em>Bertholletia excelsa</em> y <em>Cedrelinga cateniformis</em>, presentaron los menores porcentajes (0,9%). Existió diferencias significativas para el porcentaje de afectación de los árboles candidatos (<em>p</em> < 0,05). El porcentaje de afectación presentó fuertes asociaciones positivas con las variables dasométricas. La tomografía acústica es fundamental en la selección de árboles semilleros de árboles amazónicos; considerando que existen especies con alta variación de la sanidad interna entre sus individuos</p>Juan Rodrigo BASELLY-VILLANUEVAAndrés FERNÁNDEZ-SANDOVALArturo Tomas MACEDO-RAMÍREZEvelin Judith SALAZAR-HINOSTROZASheyla Yanett CHUMBIMUNE-VIVANCOJorge Enrique PÉREZ-ARIRAMAGeomar VALLEJOS-TORRESAna Márcia MACEDO LADEIRA CARVALHO

https://revistas.iiap.gob.pe/index.php/foliaamazonica/article/view/780
<p> A guide to the echolocation pulses of 42 bat species recorded at eight stations near the Vilcanota‑Urubamba River, Cusco region, is presented. The objectives included optimizing the collection of clean, species‑specific acoustic recordings and developing an acoustic library in Peru. The flight tunnel is proposed as a more effective technique than the flight box, as it allows sustained flight in a single direction and the capture of high‑quality pulses. No defined taxonomic relationships based on echolocation pulses were identified. The variation in pulse shape was explained by the variables peak frequency and bandwidth, according to the PCA analysis. Cluster analysis formed four acoustic groups with no clear relationship to taxonomic, evolutionary, or ecological traits. Feeding acoustic libraries such as "Mashu Peru" will be crucial to more accurately describe the echolocation pulses of <br>each species, better understand bioacoustic plasticity, and its sensitivity to methodological, environmental, and geographic factors. This study establishes a precedent for future research while contributing to bat conservation strategies.</p>Antony Andree RIVERA GARCÍANick Ayrton BARRIGA SALASEliana Alexandra LÓPEZ FUENTES

https://revistas.iiap.gob.pe/index.php/foliaamazonica/article/view/740
<p>The numerous scientific publications related to the use of plants by the Urarina people demonstrate a deep-seated and valuable knowledge. However, it lacks a comprehensive review that encompasses this vast botanical knowledge. In this regard, our goal was to understand the diversity of plants used by the Urarinas in the Loreto region (Peru). To achieve this, we conducted a thorough literature review of scientific publications, where we found 17 publications with data on plant use related to the Urarina people. We recorded 196 species of flowering plants included in 56 families. The palm family (Arecaceae) stands out as the family with the greatest variety of uses, with its ten representative species: <em>Iriartea</em> <em>deltoidea</em>, <em>Bactris</em> <em>gasipaes</em>, <em>Mauritia</em> <em>flexuosa</em>, <em>Oenocarpus</em> <em>bataua</em>, <em>Euterpe</em> <em>precatoria</em>, <em>Socratea</em> <em>exorrhiza</em>, <em>Oenocarpus</em> <em>mapora</em>, <em>Attalea</em> <em>phalerata</em>, <em>Elaeis</em> <em>oleifera</em> and <em>Phytelephas</em> <em>tenuicaulis</em>. This finding highlights the cultural importance of palms in traditional Urarina practices; moreover, it provides a solid foundation for future ethnobotanical research and conservation strategies</p>Ricardo ZÁRATE-GÓMEZManuel MARTIN BRAÑASAdan ANGULO-CAINAMARICarlos Andres MEDINA LÓPEZMargarita DEL AGUILA VILLACORTAGonzalo Manuel ISLA REÁTEGUIMaría Claudia RAMOS RODRIGUEZAndrés Guillermo CÓRDOVA ROJAS
