El estudio de la diversidad local de los mamíferos en el BST es importante, debido al valor cultural que tienen para las comunidades locales como fuente de alimento y medicina. Además, la información sobre estos ensamblajes es útil para el manejo del bosque seco tropical, uno de los ecosistemas más amenazados de Colombia cuyos remanentes constituyen ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Heterostylous plants are defined by the reciprocal positioning of stigmas and anthers in floral morphs—a trait proposed by Darwin to enhance the efficiency of disassortative (intermorph) pollen transfer.

<p>Se caracterizó la interacción colibrí-planta en tres remanentes de bosque tropical seco (BsT), ubicados en el municipio de Chimichagua (Cesar, Colombia) con base en la observación de las visitas a los recursos florales y en los análisis de las cargas de polen en el pico y en otras partes del cuerpo de las aves.

Our results highlight the importance of standardizing biodiversity measures and incorporating beta diversity in biodiversity monitoring. We demonstrate that taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional bird diversity can be high in secondary forests within smallholder agricultural landscapes.

Vertebrate diversity and biomass along a recovery gradient in a lowland tropical forest
Deforestation of tropical forests has resulted in large areas of secondary forests with the potential for biodiversity to re‐establish to levels usually found in old‐growth forests. This study shows that diversity and biomass of mammals and birds in regenerating forests can recover to old‐growth levels within a relatively short time.

Bat winter foraging habitat use in working forests: a multispecies spatial occupancy approach
We examined winter occupancy and foraging habitat associations of bats in working pine forests of the southeastern United States Coastal Plain using acoustic detection. Although responses varied among species, we found that sites with high proportions of contiguous forest and low levels of basal area had higher bat community richness and species ...

Complex patch geometries maximize species richness at the expense of forest specialists
We assessed the reptile and amphibian community at 54 sites spanning four habitat types in a fragmented landscape in Costa Rica. Our study revealed that small forest patches and corridors play an important role in herpetofauna conservation, as they support a similar richness, abundance, and community composition to large forest preserves. We also found

Las áreas de bosque altoandino en Colombia se han reducido considerablemente, por lo que especies ecológicamente relevantes como Podocarpus oleifolius presentan una disminución considerable en sus poblaciones y han sido categorizadas en estado vulnerable a la extinción (VU).

Our results highlight the importance of remnant native forest to provide multiple ecosystem functions and the potential to restore them and complement these uses with sustainable agriculture. By merging landscape and ecosystem approaches we provide specific numbers regarding the proportion that each land use should have in order to maximise ...
