Phylogenetic diversity and conservation of crop wild relatives in Colombia. [PDF]

Evol Appl, 2021
Abstract Crop wild relatives (CWR) are an important agricultural resource as they contain genetic traits not found in cultivated species due to localized adaptation to unique environmental and climatic conditions. Phylogenetic diversity (PD) measures the evolutionary relationship of species using the tree of life. Our knowledge of CWR PD in neotropical

Forest Guardians: The Role of Dense Forests and Water Networks in Supporting Lowland Tapir (<i>Tapirus terrestris</i>) Populations in the Orinoquia Region of Colombia. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our study reveals that lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris ) occupancy in Colombia's Orinoquia region is strongly influenced by dense forests and proximity to water bodies, while anthropogenic factors such as pastures and road networks negatively impact their presence.

Safety of Early Mobilisation in Critically Ill Patients Under Unusual High-Risk Conditions: A Latin American Case Series. [PDF]

Case Rep Crit Care
Background Early mobilisation (EM) in the intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with a reduced incidence of intensive care unit‐acquired weakness, shorter hospital length of stay and improved functional outcomes. However, most of the available evidence derives from patient populations at low risk of safety‐related adverse events.

Characterization of Gastrointestinal Parasites in Grazing Sheep in Mountain, Piedmont, and Savanna Conditions of Casanare, Colombia. [PDF]

Vet Med Int
Gastrointestinal parasitosis represents a significant constraint on sheep productivity in Colombian tropical production systems; however, their regional epidemiological dynamics remain insufficiently characterized. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize the prevalence, associations, coinfestations, and health‐related correlations of

Tradeoffs between units providing soil ecosystem services in multifunctional landscapes of the Orinoquia

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Ecological assessment of soil ecosystem services was made through indicators of provision of nutrients, amount of organic matter, and cation exchange capacity; and climate regulation, carbon storage, in the Orotoy river basin.

Comparing species and evolutionary diversity metrics to inform conservation

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 224-231, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Phylogenetic diversity (PD) is an important measure for identifying areas of conservation. Phylogenetic diversity is a robust biodiversity metric because it accounts for the relationships among species, and not just the number of species. For this reason, it is an essential element for conservation planning.
