Cultivo de la Quina [Cínchona] en Guatemala
A mediados del siglo pasado, el rápido incremento que tomó la destrucción de los bosques de quina (Cínchona) de los Andes y el aumento del valor de la quinina para el tratamiento de la malaria, dió por resultado la introducción del cultivo de Cínchona en

Prevalence of traded bird species in key biodiversity areas
Abstract The use and trade of biodiversity involve tens of thousands of species that are exploited at a range of scales, intensities, and degrees of sustainability. As a result, some are highly threatened. Key biodiversity areas (KBAs) are sites of significance for the persistence of biodiversity identified nationally based on standardized criteria ...

The link between colorfulness and extinction risk across the world's passerine birds
Abstract Many of the functional traits that mediate extinction risk across the range of biodiversity relate indirectly to a species’ ability to persist in a changing world, yet certain traits such as coloration directly affect human interactions with wildlife.

This study provides the first comprehensive reassessment of avian diversity in the Tumbesian region in over 30 years, documenting 931 species and identifying significant sampling gaps driven by geographic accessibility. We reveal a critical misalignment between biodiversity value and current protection coverage, particularly in humid forests which ...

Environmental DNA succeeds in detecting a low‐density population of endangered harlequin frogs
This work evaluates the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) to detect the Critically Endangered Jambato Harlequin Frog (Atelopus ignescens)—an iconic species once thought extinct and now known only from a single locality in the Ecuadorian Andes. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of eDNA in detecting the Jambato in a low‐density amphibian population,

Complementary Hotspots of Vegetation Diversity in Andean Patagonian Forests
ABSTRACT Aim Examining spatial relationships among three vegetation diversity metrics—species richness (S), rarity‐weighted richness (RWR) and local contribution to beta diversity (LCBD) as a measure of compositional uniqueness and quantifying the spatial congruence of their hotspots to assess conservation value.

Selection under the insecticide chlorpyrifos strongly affected the genetic makeup of non‐target Daphnia magna populations and increased tolerance of chlorpyrifos‐selected populations to chlorpyrifos and malathion (same mode of action as chlorpyrifos) but reduced performance when exposed to deltamethrin (different mode of action from chlorpyrifos).
