The article discusses the creation of the Young Stroke Latin American Task Force (ALATAC), a regional initiative aimed at empowering young medical professionals to reduce the burden of stroke in Latin America. The task force consists of early-career stroke neurologists, neurointerventionalists, and physicians from 17 Latin American countries. ALATAC is structured into six committees, each with a specific focus, such as education, implementation, investigation, mentoring, social media, and empowering young women in stroke. The task force aims to improve stroke research, education, prevention, and treatment access in the region through collaboration and networking opportunities. [Extracted from the article]

The distribution of the giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla Linnaeus, 1758) is poorly known, especially outside Brazil. Here, we present an approx. 430-km range expansion for the species based on 71 records collected from interviews, camera traps, tracks, and direct sightings in the Magdalena-Urabá moist forest ecoregion (MUMFE), Colombia. Our records, obtained from 31 localities during July 2013 to July 2015, represent the first evidence of M. tridactyla in the middle Magdalena River valley since the late 18th Century. Our camera traps identified at least six individual giant anteaters, including a female with offspring. We discuss the severity of threats in the MUMFE and the urgency for conservation planning.

We examine factors that influence male mating success in the glass frogCentrolene savagei; in addition, we describe courtship behaviour, oviposition and early parental behaviour. Fieldwork was conducted in the Colombian Andes during the rainy season from April 2006 to January 2011. Larger males had more chances of mating than smaller males; neither the height of calling site nor number of nights calling influenced the male mating success. Apparently, females choose males on the basis of call frequency attributes. Ours is the first study in glass frogs to report mating success skewed toward larger males. Courtship behaviour includes acoustic signals and visual displays. Additionally, we recorded an unusual routine interruption of amplexus by the male, and a synchronized behaviour between the female and male that indicates the beginning of male parental behaviour.
