Variación temporal de la diversidad taxonómica y rasgos funcionales de los macroinvertebrados acuáticos en ríos temporales en la isla de Providencia, Colombia

open access: yesActualidades Biológicas, 2017
Los ríos intermitentes en Colombia se localizan principalmente en zonas de bosque seco, con relevancia en el ciclo hidrológico, el mantenimiento de la biodiversidad y el suministro de agua en estas regiones.

Predicción de la conducta de almacenamiento de semillas de Calycophyllum candidissimum (Rubiaceae) por sus rasgos funcionales

open access: yes, 2021
Calycophyllum candidissimum (Vahl) DC. es un árbol pionero endémico del Neotrópico, que forma parte de la flora nativa de Cuba (Herrera-Peraza & al. 1997, González-Torres & al. 2016) y presenta una gran importancia ecológica y económica (Gutiérrez & al. 2020). En Cuba, esta especie se conoce por el nombre común de dagame (Roig 2014) y en la

Temporal dynamics in functional fruit traits of native and invasive fleshy fruited plants in subtropical Andean forests

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1221-1232, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruits encompass the energetic and material flow between both interacting parties in frugivore‐mediated seed dispersal. Since fruit traits matter in frugivores' foraging decisions, the temporal dynamics of fruit traits might influence interaction outcomes.

Rasgos funcionales de frutos con importancia particular para los dispersores de semillas en el bosque seco tropical

open access: yes, 2023
Introduction: Frugivory is an ecological process that determines the structuring and regeneration of forests. Particularly in the tropics, where the diversity of frugivorous plants and animals is high, and interspecific relationships are complex, generating interaction networks where species play differential functional roles.

Functional traits predict changes in floral phenology under climate change in a highly diverse Mediterranean community

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1270-1285, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants are shifting their flowering phenology in response to climate change, but trends differ between species and communities. Functional traits can largely explain how different species respond to climate change by shifting their phenology, and can therefore help ...

Simulating drying and human impacts on river networks to evaluate biological quality indices performance through the lens of metacommunity theory

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
This work constitutes a first step towards developing simulation‐based assessments that incorporate catchment drying patterns to support biomonitoring of drying river networks. Our approach can inform stakeholders when current methods are likely to fail and contribute to decision‐making on whether adapting current methods is possible or developing new ...

Meta‐analysis on the effects of composition and configuration of landscape on the functional diversity of tropical mammals

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that mammal functional richness in tropical regions requires integrating habitat amount and landscape configuration into land‐use planning. Conservation strategies should move beyond setting targets for total habitat area and explicitly incorporate configuration metrics that promote heterogeneity and functional connectivity. In

Rasgos funcionales fúngicos en relación con recuperación de incendios en bosque seco (Departamento del Huila)

open access: yes, 2022
Los incendios forestales son uno de los principales problemas en el bosque seco tropical (BsT), y afectan no solo la cobertura vegetal, sino también la diversidad microbiana como los hongos filamentosos. Estos últimos cumplen papeles indispensables en los suelos como generación de agregados, degradación de sustratos y ciclaje de nutrientes, gracias a ...

BIEN: A biodiversity informatics ecosystem advancing open and reproducible workflows for plant observation, plot and trait data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1556-1584, May 2026.
Abstract The rapid expansion of biodiversity data presents new opportunities to understand and forecast biosphere dynamics. However, disparate and dispersed data, taxonomic and geographic inconsistencies, pervasive quality issues, and a lack of reproducable workflows hinder synthesis, introduce biases and limit accurate assessment of biodiversity ...
