SPECIAL CLUSTER: PANAMA AS A NATURAL LABORATORY OF CLIMATE RESILIENCE AND ONE HEALTH

This Special Cluster, developed in collaboration with the University of Panama, meets all of the quality and editorial ethics standards of BioNatura Journal.

Each manuscript was managed through the journal's regular submission system and underwent a rigorous external and independent peer-review process. Editorial independence was absolute at all times; neither the University of Panama nor any external organizer intervened in the selection of reviewers, the evaluation of manuscripts, or the final publication decision.

This collection is integrated into the regular issue of the journal (Volume 2, Number 4, 2025) and does not constitute conference proceedings.
