Aplicación de indicadores de conocimiento sobre biodiversidad para el diagnostico y comparación de colecciones biológicas.

NOVA, 2005
La mayoría de colecciones biológicas de los museos en Colombia carecen de elementos de diagnóstico, lo que impide analizarlas y determinar su estado en términos cuantitativos y cualitativos.

Digitising biological collections to advance National Species Inventories: A case study from the flora of Chile

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1210-1222, July 2026.
In response to Chile's public policy to establish a national biodiversity inventory and monitoring system, we launched the HerbarioDigital.cl portal. We have digitised over 120,000 specimens representing more than 3,900 species from two Chilean herbaria, integrating them through a curated local taxonomic index.

Exploring Costa Rica's fungal trends: Insights from digitized specimens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1256-1274, July 2026.
Fungi are essential to tropical ecosystems but remain largely absent from conservation agendas. By analyzing over 78,000 fungal records from Costa Rica—a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot—this study reveals key patterns in fungal diversity, distribution, and seasonality.

Exploring Andean foothill connectivity: insights from population divergence in the white‐tipped sicklebill, Eutoxeres aquila

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.
The Northern Andes, acting both as barrier and corridor, exert strong influence in Neotropical biodiversity. Still, the diversification of foothill taxa inhabiting ecotonal zones between lowland rainforest and montane environments in this region remains poorly understood.

Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2630-2651, March 2026.
Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from

Old Bones in New Databases: Historical Insights Into Race, Statistics, and Ancestry Estimation in Anthropology

American Anthropologist, Volume 127, Issue 3, Page 566-580, September 2025.
ABSTRACT This article explores the persistence of race in biological anthropology, particularly in the context of ancestry estimation using the Fordisc software. Despite efforts to move away from race‐based typologies since the mid‐20th century, historical notions of race continue to shape scientific methods and technologies in anthropology. By tracing
