Predator response to the coloured eyespots and defensive posture of Colombian four‐eyed frogs
Using stationary artificial frogs exposed to wild predators, we tested whether the eyespot/colour markings and defensive posture present in the putative deimatic display of Colombian four‐eyed frogs, and their combination, provide protection from predation without a sudden change in appearance.

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals
Abstract Aim Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map ...

Integrating the Water Planetary Boundary With Water Management From Local to Global Scales
Abstract The planetary boundaries framework defines the “safe operating space for humanity” represented by nine global processes that can destabilize the Earth System if perturbed. The water planetary boundary attempts to provide a global limit to anthropogenic water cycle modifications, but it has been challenging to translate and apply it to the ...

We found that overwintering occupancy and movement are habitat‐dependent in a nonterritorial overwintering migrant bird. Warblers in mangroves and other wet habitats are least likely to experience local extinction as dry season progresses, and warbler abundance was highest in mature mangroves forests.

The Ant Genus Dorymyrmex Mayr (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Dolichoderinae) in Colombia
The aim of this paper is to actualize the taxonomy of Dorymyrmex, by addressing problems at both the genus and the species levels. We also explore the taxonomy and distribution of Dorymyrmex in Colombia. We list, diagnose, and key nine species in the country, including three new species: Dorymyrmex amazonicus n. sp.
