Paramos are “insular” ecosystems confined to high-elevation zones of the Andean forests. Of the total area of paramo worldwide, 49% is found in Colombia and from these, the 18.3% within the department of Boyacá. Biogeographic and climate dynamics shape bryophyte species richness in the Neotropics. We compiled a comprehensive species list from herbarium specimens (UPTC and COL) and online databases (GBIF and Tropicos), suppleme...

Introduction In recent years, environmental DNA (eDNA) amplicon sequencing has been used to unveil plankton diversity in the field. Nevertheless, molecular methods, such as this, are rarely used in harmful algal bloom (HAB) monitoring programs, which mainly rely on morphological identification by conventional light microscopy. Methods The present study focused on a shallow marine environment (Ría de Vigo, Northwest Spain), whe...

Documenting patterns of spatiotemporal change in hyper‐diverse communities remains a challenge for tropical ecology yet is increasingly urgent as some long‐term studies have shown major declines in bird communities in undisturbed sites. In 1982, Terborgh et al. quantified the structure and organisation of the bird community in a 97‐ha. plot in southeastern Peru. We revisited the same plot in 2018 using the same methodologies a...
