Méndez-Camacho, K., O. Leon-Alvarado, and D. R. Miranda-Esquivel. 2021. Biogeographic evidence supports the Old Amazon hypothesis for the formation of the Amazon fluvial system. PeerJ 9: e12533. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.12533
The Amazon has high biodiversity, which has been attributed to different geological events such as the formation of rivers. The Old and Young Amazon hypotheses have been proposed regarding the date of the formation of the Amazon basin. Different studies of historical biogeography support the Young A…

Species occurrence records from a variety of sources are increasingly aggregated into heterogeneous databases and made available to ecologists for immediate analytical use. However, these data are typically biased, i.e. they are not a probability sample of the target population of interest, meaning …
Armijos-Ojeda, D., D. Székely, P. Székely, D. Cogălniceanu, D. F. Cisneros-Heredia, L. Ordóñez-Delgado, A. Escudero, and C. I. Espinosa. 2021. Amphibians of the equatorial seasonally dry forests of Ecuador and Peru. ZooKeys 1063: 23–48. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.1063.69580
Seasonally dry forests (SDFs) are one of the most challenging ecosystems for amphibians, fueling the diversity of this group of vertebrates. An updated inventory of native amphibians present in the Equatorial SDF is provided, which extends along the Pacific coast of Ecuador and northwestern Peru. Th…

Amphibian biodiversity is declining globally, with over 40% of species being considered threatened to become extinct. Crucial to the success of conservation initiatives are a comprehensive understanding of life history and reproductive ecology of target species. Here we provide an overview of the Ps…

Addressing climate mitigation while meeting global electrification goals will require major transitions from fossil-fuel dependence to large-scale renewable energy deployment. However, renewables require significant land assets per unit energy and could come at high cost to ecosystems, creating pote…
Miller, E. F., R. E. Green, A. Balmford, P. Maisano Delser, R. Beyer, M. Somveille, M. Leonardi, et al. 2021. Bayesian Skyline Plots disagree with range size changes based on Species Distribution Models for Holarctic birds. Molecular Ecology 30: 3993–4004. https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.16032
During the Quaternary, large climate oscillations impacted the distribution and demography of species globally. Two approaches have played a major role in reconstructing changes through time: Bayesian Skyline Plots (BSPs), which reconstruct population fluctuations based on genetic data, and Species …
Guzman, B. K., A. García-Bravo, E. E. Allauja-Salazar, I. A. Mejía, C. T. Guzmán, and M. Oliva. 2021. Endemism of woody flora and tetrapod fauna, and conservation status of the inter-Andean Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests of the Marañón valley. Global Ecology and Conservation 28: e01639. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gecco.2021.e01639
Based on a review of literature related to the biological diversity of the inter-Andean Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest of the Marañón valley (ISDTFM), located in the regions of Cajamarca, Amazonas, Piura, La Libertad, Ancash and Huánuco (Perú), this study highlights the richness of endemic species o…

Understanding seasonal variation in the distribution and movement patterns of migratory species is essential to monitoring and conservation efforts. While there are many species of migratory bats in North America, little is known about their seasonal movements. In terms of conservation, this is impo…

La lechuza de los arenales Athene cunicularia (Aves: Strigidae) se distribuye desde Canadá hasta Tierra del Fuego en América. Ocupa una gran variedad de hábitats naturales, ambientes urbano-rurales y agroecosistemas. En el Perú residen tres subespecies A. c. nanodes, (Berlepsch y Stolzmann, 1892), A…

Factors driving the spatial configuration of centres of endemism have long been a topic of broad interest and debate. Due to different eco‐evolutionary processes, these highly biodiverse areas may harbour different amounts of ancient and recently diverged organisms (paleo‐ and neo‐endemism, respecti…
