Use, management and local ecological knowledge of Sabal mauritiiformis in the Colombian Caribbean
The leaves of the palm Sabal mauritiiformis constitute the natural material most used for thatching in the Colombian Caribbean region.The leaves and other parts of the plant are also used in other economic and cultural activities on a smaller scale.Through 49 semistructured interviews and seven days of participant observation, we identified the most relevant biocultural features of its utilization.We documented the current uses, management and lo…
Socratea exorrhiza, two Amazonian palms used for thatching
Background: The palms Lepidocaryum tenue and Socratea exorrhiza provide the raw material for one of the most prized thatches of the Colombian Amazon. Roofs thatched with Lepidocaryum leaves braided along split Socratea stems are highly appreciated and demanded by local inhabitants, due to their availability and freshness; as a result, both palms are an important source of cash income. Demand for Lepidocaryum roofs has increased, especially around…

The effects of the transition from home-based childcare to childcare centers on children’s health and development in Colombia
Colombia's national early childhood strategy launched in 2011 aimed at improving the quality of childcare services offered to socio-economically vulnerable children, and included the possibility that children and their childcare providers could transfer from non-parental family daycare units to large childcare centers in urban areas. This study seeks to understand whether the offer to transfer and the actual transfer from one program to the other…

Use, Production and Conservation of Palm Fiber in South America
South American ethnic groups traditionally use palm fiber, which provides materials for domestic, commercial, and ceremonial purposes. A literature review of 185 references was carried out in order to identify and understand the extent of palm fiber production and the sustainability of harvesting and use in South America. The reports recorded 111 palm species and 37 genera used for fiber in the region; the genera Attalea, Astrocaryum and Syagrus …

Uses and commercial prospects for the wine palm, Attalea butyracea, in Colombia
Attalea butyracea (Mutis ex L.f.) Wess. Boer is a massive and abundant palm that grows in dry areas of northern, central and eastern Colombia, where it ranks as one of the most useful plants. Thirty-six uses in eight use categories are recorded for this species in Colombia, including food, animal feed, medicine, construction, and technological and cultural uses. Most uses have only minor, local relevance, but some of them have potential that is w…
The Effect of Maternal Employment and Child Care on Children's Cognitive Development
This article develops and estimates a dynamic model of employment and child care decisions of women after childbirth to evaluate the effects of these choices on children's cognitive ability. We use data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to estimate it. Results indicate that the effects of maternal employment and child care on children's ability are negative and sizable. Having a mother that works full‐time and uses child care during …
Eastern Tukanoan Names of the Palm Iriartea Deltoidea
The Eastern Tukanoan of the Vaupés River region along the Colombian-Brazilian border have long used the palm Iriartea deltoidea as a durable building material. A recent study examining the linguistic roots of the local names of various palm species reveals that, in at least five languages of the Eastern Tukanoan, the contemporary name for Iriartea deltoidea suggests that it was also once a source of starch, a use not yet recorded for this species…

Data and Code for Covid-19 spread, detection, and dynamics in a megacity in Latin America
We implemented a COVID-19 sentinel surveillance study with 59,770 RT-PCR tests on mostly asymptomatic individuals and combine this data with administrative records on all detected cases to capture the spread and dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic in Bogotá from June 2020 to early March 2021. We describe various features of the pandemic that appear to be specific to a developing-country context. We find that, by March 2021, slightly more than half …
