Tree-Cover Gradients Modulate the Taxonomic and Functional Diversity of Birds in Amazonian Cattle-Ranching Landscapes Open
Cattle-ranching expansion is the major anthropogenic driver transforming forests in the Colombian Amazon. Landscapes typified by low ecological connectivity and simplified arboreal structure limit resource availability and alter avian spec…

El jardín botánico de Bogotá en la Universidad Nacional de Colombia: historia previa Open
El Jardín Botánico de Bogotá José Celestino Mutis fue proyectado por Enrique Pérez Arbeláez desde que realizó su doctorado en el Instituto Botánico ubicado en el Jardín Botánico de Münich entre 1926 y 1927. Sin embargo, solo comenzó a cons…

The potential of Deception Island, Antarctica, as a multifunctional Martian analogue of astrobiological interest Open
The establishment of the possible presence of life on Mars (past or present) is based on the study of planetary analogues, which allow in situ analysis of the environments in which living organisms adapt to often extreme conditions. Althou…

Ecosystem functions and functional traits for the study of phytophagous scarab beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) Open
Owing to the rapid and ongoing anthropogenic changes impacting ecosystem functions and their interplay with biodiversity, there is a growing focus on assessing insect functional diversity. This emphasis helps to unravel key roles of insect…

Anurans trophic dynamic and guild structure in tropical dry forests of the Caribbean region of Colombia Open
Studies on the exploitation of trophic resources allow to establish interactions between predators and predator-prey, and this dynamic can present fluctuations over time and space. We analysed stomach contents of 19 anuran species from tro…

Predator–prey interactions in anurans of the tropical dry forests of the Colombian Caribbean: A functional approach Open
Anuran–prey selection might be mediated by traits, either by mismatches in predator and prey traits (preventing interactions) or by predator selection of prey traits (encouraging interactions). These effect traits could be summarized in tw…

Revisión del concepto de ecosistema como “unidad de la naturaleza” 80 años después de su formulación Open
"Desde que el concepto de ecosistema fue propuesto como una de las unidades básicas de la naturaleza, su uso no se ha restringido a espacios académicos, científicos o de tomadores de decisiones en el sector ambiental, sino que ha logrado p…

Dieta de Craugastor raniformis Boulenger (Anura: Craugastoridae) en un area con bosque seco tropical del norte de Colombia Open
We characterize the diet of Craugastor raniformis, a terrestrial frog that inhabits the tropical dry forest in Colombia. The diet is constituted mostly of orthopterans, millipedes, arachnids and ants. Considering the morphological characte…

Habitat Heterogeneity Affects Plant and Arthropod Species Diversity and Turnover in Traditional Cornfields Open
The expansion of the agricultural frontier by the clearing of remnant forests has led to human-dominated landscape mosaics. Previous studies have evaluated the effect of these landscape mosaics on arthropod diversity at local spatial scale…

Observaciones sobre la dieta de Elachistocleis pearsei y Elachistocleis panamensis en dos áreas intervenidas de tierras bajas del norte de Colombia Open
Se describe la dieta de 2 especies de Elachistocleis para tierras bajas del norte de Colombia. Debido a las características de su dieta (composición, volumen promedio, número de presas por estómago y registro en otros congéneres), E. pears…
