Predator response to the coloured eyespots and defensive posture of Colombian four‐eyed frogs
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 36, Issue 7, Page 1040-1049, July 2023., 2023 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.

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 The estuarine clam Polymesoda arctata is one of the commercially important bivalves of the Caribbean, which is currently considered endangered by overexploitation and habitat loss. With the purpose of gain knowledge about its environmental requirements for aquaculture and restocking purposes, its energetic physiology performance was evaluated under ...

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1756-1783, September 2022., 2022 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 ...

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 46-51, January 2022., 2022 The objective of this current study was to update the prevalence of cardiopulmonary dirofilariosis and seroprevalence of anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis and Lyme borreliosis in dogs in Barranquilla and Puerto Colombia, northern Colombia. The prevalence or seroprevalence of four canine vector‐borne diseases has been updated in Atlántico, Colombia, being the ...

Integrating the Water Planetary Boundary With Water Management From Local to Global Scales
Earth's Future, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2020., 2020 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 ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 19, Page 11064-11077, October 2019., 2019 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
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 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.

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Mangroves are ecologically important and extensive in the Neotropics, but they are visibly threatened by selective logging and conversion to pastures in the Southern Caribbean. The objective of this paper was to summarize the impacts of both threats on forest structure, species composition, aboveground biomass and carbon reservoir, species ...

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.This study assessed the distribution of fungal bioaerosols in tropical urban and peri‐urban environments. Using a six‐stage Andersen cascade impactor and a Bayesian neural network, fungal concentrations were predicted with an accuracy of 76.87%. It highlights the role of environmental factorsin fungal dispersion, associated respiratory risks, and ...
