Quantifying carbon and amphibian co-benefits from secondary forest regeneration in the Tropical Andes
(Revista de la Sociedad Zoológica de Londres (ZSL), 2016-02)
Tropical land-use change is a key driver of global declines in biodiversity and a major source of anthropogenic carbon emissions, yet there is a substantial shortfall in the funding available to tackle these issues.
Land-Sparing Agriculture Best Protects Avian Phylogenetic Diversity
(Cell Press, 2015-09-03)
Appropriate management of farming is critical to slowing the biodiversity extinction crisis. Edwards et al. show that farming intensively while offsetting large natural reserves will save more phylogenetic diversity and ...
First Record of the Genus Mycetarotes (Emery, 1913) (Formicidae: Myrmicinae) from Colombia
(Universidad Estadual de Feira de Santana, 2015-06)
Presentamos el primer registro del género de hormigas que crece en hongos Mycetarotes (Formicidae: Myrmicinae) en Colombia, con la Especie M. parallelus (Emery, 1906).
La biodiversidad congelada de Colombia: 16 años de la colección de tejidos del Instituto Humboldt
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2015-01-09)
Las colecciones de tejidos son fuentes fundamentales de información molecular para el conocimiento de la biodiversidad, y son particularmente desafiantes si están enfocadas en países megadiversos. En 1998 el Instituto ...
The genus Ontherus Erichson 1847 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae): description of a new species, and notes on the genus in Colombia
(Magnolia Press, 2015)
Se revisa y actualiza el estado del conocimiento del género Ontherus Erichson 1847 en Colombia, desde la revisión del género por Genier (1996), y del listado de especies de Colombia de Medina et al. (2001). Se confirmaron ...
Effect of scale on trait predictors of species responses to agriculture
(Wiley, 2014-11)
La persistencia de las especies en terrenos alterados por el humano puede depender de factores que operan en múltiples escalas espaciales. Para entender los impactos antropogénicos sobre la biodiversidad, es útil examinar ...
Surrounding habitats mediate the trade-off between land-sharing and land-sparing agriculture in the tropics
(British Ecological Society, 2014-10)
Dos estrategias son a menudo promovidos para mitigar los efectos de la expansión de la agricultura sobre la biodiversidad: una integra hábitats de vida silvestre dentro de un radio tierras de cultivo (suelo compartir), y ...
Minimizing the biodiversity impact of Neotropical oil palm development.
(Wiley, 2014-08-30)
Oil palm agriculture is rapidly expanding in the Neotropics, at the expense of a range of natural and seminatural habitats. A key question is how this expansion should be managed to reduce negative impacts on biodiversity.
Optimizing carbon storage and biodiversity protection in tropical agricultural landscapes.
(Wiley, 2014-07)
With the rapidly expanding ecological footprint of agriculture, the design of farmed landscapes will play an increasingly important role for both carbon storage and biodiversity protection.
Cheap carbon and biodiversity co-benefits from forest regeneration in a hotspot of endemism .
(Nature Research, 2014-04-28)
Climate change and biodiversity loss can be addressed simultaneously by well-planned conservation policies, but this requires information on the alignment of co-benefits under different management actions.
