Based on the more than *** startup companies identified in Argentina, over half were located in Buenos Aires. The Argentine capital and its larger metropolitan area were home to *** startup companies as of September 2024. Córdoba, Argentina's second most populated city, was the second favorite city to found a startup in Argentina, with *** enterprises. The Argentine startup ecosystem In recent years, Argentina and Brazil concentrated over ** percent of the startup ecosystem value in Latin America. Argentina alone accounted for ** percent of the total. This South American nation's ecosystem was valued at ** billion U.S. dollars that year, followed closely by Brazil, whose ecosystem's value stood at ** billion dollars.In 2023, Buenos Aires topped the list of best cities for startups in Argentina, registering a total score of ****. That year, the country’s capital and Córdoba also appeared in the ranking of top cities for startups in Latin America and the Caribbean. Female entrepreneurship Female entrepreneurship has been on the rise in Latin America, pushing against a male-dominated environment in the business sector. It continues to encounter, however, remarkable obstacles. Argentina’s female entrepreneurial activity rate was remarkably distant from that of other Latin American countries, like Ecuador and Colombia, where it exceeded ** percent. By contrast, even if the entrepreneurial activity rate among women in Argentina was not particularly high, it can be said that most females started their business because it was their choice, and not out of necessity.

Over 42 percent of Argentine households located in large metropolitan areas were found to live under the poverty line in the first half of 2023, 12.9 percentage points more in comparison to the same period a year earlier. When compared to the first semester of 2018, the share of urban households living under the poverty line in the South American country rose over 20 percentage points. According to the latest data available, 2.54 percent of the Argentinian population is living on less than 3.65 U.S. dollars per day.

Aedes aegypti, the main vector of dengue and other arboviruses, was declared eradicated from Argentina in 1964; however, in 1987 it was detected again and nowadays it occurs in most of the country territory. To understand the transmission of vector-borne diseases, knowledge of the dispersal of vector populations is essential to evaluate the risk of pathogen transmission. We conducted a micro-geographic population genetic analysis of Ae. aegypti in 20 neighborhoods from Córdoba, the second largest city in Argentina, using 10 microsatellite loci. High genetic differentiation and the absence of an isolation by distance pattern was found using Weir and Cockerham’s θ. Bayesian and multivariate clustering analyses showed that all studied sites included individuals with high membership coefficients (Q) in their populations and others admixed or with membership in another cluster. Individuals with high Q in clusters different from the population in which they were collected strongly suggests that passive transport is important to shape Ae. aegypti dispersal pattern in Córdoba city. Knowing the genetic structure of Ae. aegypti populations and their dispersal patterns would contribute to the implementation of vector control program.

Pairwise FST values for Ae. aegypti collected in Buenos Aires and in Northeastern and Northwestern Argentina localities.

Dataset and full R script used in the data analysis of the paper "Searching for the lost treasure: An urban shelter for overlooked pollinators in one of the most urbanised cities of southern South America".

Summary:

Insect pollinators are essential and their conservation should be a priority for both ecological and agricultural reasons, especially in the remaining green spaces within highly urbanised cities. We studied the diversity of flower visitors associated with a remnant of native vegetation in the city of Cordoba (Argentina), one of the largest cities in South America. We recorded 198 insect species from six orders (Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Thysanoptera and Hemiptera) interacting as potential pollinators with the flowers of 94 plant species. We identified the pollinators to the lowest possible taxonomic level and confirmed the identifications through a collaborative project using a non-profit biodiversity social network (iNaturalist 2024). The plant-pollinator interaction network was significantly modular, with 178 of the 198 pollinators playing a peripheral role. We focused our study on these peripheral pollinators, which are often neglected in ecological studies. We conducted a bibliographic search to understand the requirements of these peripheral pollinators, which are often neglected in ecological studies. We categorised their needs to complete their life cycle and persist over time in three broad categories: flowers to feed on, places to reproduce and additional resources.

The number of passengers of the Buenos Aires rapid transit system, commonly known as "Subte", reported an overall increase between 2015 and 2019 peaking in 2018 at 339 million passengers. In 2019, the ridership of the subway in the Argentinian capital dropped by four percent, reaching 327 million. Buenos Aires is the largest city in Argentina, counting over 15 million inhabitants.

The number of air passenger arrivals at Governor Francisco Gabrielli International Airport —commonly known as El Plumerillo— declined in 2020 to only 23.1 thousand, after peaking in 2018 at more than 120 thousand. This airport is located in the Argentine city of Mendoza, the fourth largest city in the Latin American country.

Based on land area, Brazil is the largest country in Latin America by far, with a total area of over 8.5 million square kilometers. Argentina follows with almost 2.8 million square kilometers. Cuba, whose surface area extends over almost 111,000 square kilometers, is the Caribbean country with the largest territory.

Brazil: a country with a lot to offer

Brazil's borders reach nearly half of the South American subcontinent, making it the fifth-largest country in the world and the third-largest country in the Western Hemisphere. Along with its landmass, Brazil also boasts the largest population and economy in the region. Although Brasília is the capital, the most significant portion of the country's population is concentrated along its coastline in the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

South America: a region of extreme geographic variation

With the Andes mountain range in the West, the Amazon Rainforest in the East, the Equator in the North, and Cape Horn as the Southern-most continental tip, South America has some of the most diverse climatic and ecological terrains in the world. At its core, its biodiversity can largely be attributed to the Amazon, the world's largest tropical rainforest, and the Amazon river, the world's largest river. However, with this incredible wealth of ecology also comes great responsibility. In the past decade, roughly 80,000 square kilometers of the Brazilian Amazon were destroyed. And, as of late 2019, there were at least 1,000 threatened species in Brazil alone.

Prisoner population in Argentina Similar to the situation in Buenos Aires, the most prevalent crimes in Argentina were robberies, with approximately 362,566 cases reported in 2021, followed by thefts and threats. Given this prevalent crime environment, Argentina ranked as the 15th country with the largest number of prisoners worldwide in 2022. However, when population size is factored in, Argentina is ranked 19th among the Latin American countries, with 249 prisoners per 100,000 inhabitants. Femicides in Argentina Over the past years, the number of femicides in Argentina has seen an increase, totaling 308 as of 2023, almost 60 cases more than the previous year.

The two countries with the greatest shares of the world's Jewish population are the United States and Israel. The United States had been a hub of Jewish immigration since the nineteenth century, as Jewish people sought to escape persecution in Europe by emigrating across the Atlantic. The Jewish population in the U.S. is largely congregated in major urban areas, such as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, with the New York metropolitan area being the city with the second largest Jewish population worldwide, after Tel Aviv, Israel. Israel is the world's only officially Jewish state, having been founded in 1948 following the first Arab-Israeli War. While Jews had been emigrating to the holy lands since the nineteenth century, when they were controlled by the Ottoman Empire, immigration increased rapidly following the establishment of the state of Israel. Jewish communities in Eastern Europe who had survived the Holocaust saw Israel as a haven from persecution, while the state encouraged immigration from Jewish communities in other regions, notably the Middle East & North Africa. Smaller Jewish communities remain in Europe in countries such as France, the UK, and Germany, and in other countries which were hotspots for Jewish migration in the twentieth century, such as Canada and Argentina.
