Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView., 2019 Systematic conservation planning (SCP) identifies priority areas for biodiversity conservation using surrogates for adequate representation of biodiversity content. The use of multiple well‐known taxonomic groups rather than single ones as a surrogate set is expected to enable a better representation of most important biodiversity constituents in ...

Phylogenetic analysis of the Camaenidae (Mollusca: Stylommatophora) with special emphasis on the american taxa [PDF]
, 2003 The monophyly of the land snail family Camaenidae has been in doubt due to a disjunct bihemispheric distributional pattern and to the lack of morphological synapomorphies.

Use of artificial refuges as a strategy for the conservation of bats
Revista de la Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales, 2022 One of the main problems for the conservation of bats in Colombia is ignorance about them and their ecosystem services. In this study, we aimed to contribute to the understanding and conservation of the bat fauna of the Pasuncha region (Pacho ...

Lévy like patterns in the small-scale movements of marsupials in an unfamiliar and risky environment [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 9, 2737 (2019), 2019 We investigate the movement patterns of three different Neotropical marsupials in an unfamiliar and risky environment. Animals are released in a matrix from which they try to reach a patch of forest. Their movements, performed on a small spacial scale, are best approximated by L\'evy flights.

Target capture and massively parallel sequencing of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) for comparative studies at shallow evolutionary time scales [PDF]
(2014) Systematic Biology 63: 83-95, 2013 Comparative genetic studies of non-model organisms are transforming rapidly due to major advances in sequencing technology. A limiting factor in these studies has been the identification and screening of orthologous loci across an evolutionarily distant set of taxa. Here, we evaluate the efficacy of genomic markers targeting ultraconserved DNA elements
