Changing patterns of fire occurrence in proximity to forest edges, roads and rivers between NW Amazonian countries [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2017
Tropical forests in NW Amazonia are highly threatened by the expansion of the agricultural frontier and subsequent deforestation. Fire is used, both directly and indirectly, in Brazilian Amazonia to propagate deforestation and increase forest ...

Compost legacy effects in active roadside restoration: Medium‐term shifts in plant succession

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Roadside restoration experiment established on volcanic tephra following road construction in Andean Patagonia. A single application of municipal (MC) or biosolids (BC) compost rapidly increased plant cover compared with untreated controls (C) but led to distinct, exotic‐dominated plant communities over 6 years.

Multitemporal Dynamics of Fuels in Forest Systems Present in the Colombian Orinoco River Basin Forests

Fire
In Colombia’s Orinoco, wildfires have a profound impact on ecosystem dynamics, particularly affecting savannas and forest–savanna transitions. Human activities have disrupted the natural fire regime, leading to increased wildfire frequency due to changes

Understory frog communities recover quickly during tropical forest regeneration

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.
Abstract Millions of hectares of tropical forest have been lost to agriculture, posing a major threat to biodiversity. However, where agricultural activities do not cause irreversible damage, forests can regenerate after abandonment, forming secondary forests that are increasingly important for conserving forest species.

Forest structure and connectivity drive the functional recovery of seed rain

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Local forest structure and landscape‐scale connectivity shape distinct but complementary pathways of the functional recovery of seed rain in tropical forests. Structural complexity promotes functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions locally, while connectivity facilitates the arrival of late‐successional seeds from external sources.

Understandings and critiques of biocultural diversity conservation and future recommendations for conservation actors

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract As biocultural approaches to conservation gain traction (e.g., through international commitments to Indigenous Peoples and local communities) and external conservation actors increasingly seek to engage with on‐the‐ground holders of biocultural diversity, improved understanding is needed of what biocultural diversity means.

Critical shifts on spatial traits and the risk of extinction of Andean anurans: an assessment of the combined effects of climate and land-use change in Colombia

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Climate and land-use change, raise significant threats to biodiversity, affecting species ranges worldwide. Both factors operate on different scales, so including spatial traits that allow them to be appropriately evaluated is relevant to the early ...

CORPORATE FUTURES, ENERGY TRANSITION, AND NATURAL PROSTHETICS IN COLOMBIA'S CESAR MINING CORRIDOR

Cultural Anthropology, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 134-162, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This essay examines the socioecological transformations of mining and post‐mining landscapes in the mining corridor of the Cesar Department, northern Colombia. When an open pit mine is about to close or has recently closed, companies promote post‐mining strategies framed as ecosystem restoration and social compensation.

Successional and native forests predict the occurrence and infection status of Chagas disease vectors in Panama

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Findings here show that successional forest predicts greater kissing bug infestation risk in palm trees, whereas native forest predicts lower kissing bug occurrence but greater infection with T. cruzi. These insights can guide land use planning towards vegetation management practices that help minimize T. cruzi transmission risks for rural communities.
