Using different sources of evidence (i.e., integrative taxonomy), we describe a new species Hyloxalus, Hyloxalus arliensis sp. nov. The occurs in the middle Magdalena River valley on slopes between Cordillera Central and Oriental Andes Colombia. Previously, was referred to as “Ibagué” but not formally described. Phylogenetic re-analyses 2440 base pairs (bp) mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), revealed be sister taxon H. lehmanni, within monophyletic clade also comprising delatorreae lineage 1,...
Global warming is having impacts across the Tree of Life. Understanding species' physiological sensitivity to temperature change and how they relate local variation in their habitats crucial determining vulnerability global warming. We ask varies elevations, climatically buffered microhabitats can contribute reduce vulnerability. measured thermal (critical maximum-CTmax ) 14 species Pristimantis frogs inhabiting young old secondary, primary forests Colombian Andes. Exposure stress was by...
Como resultado de los trabajos campo desarrollados entre septiembre 2003 y diciembre 2004, orientados a evaluar la composición ensamblajes anfibios en Reserva Natural Privada Riomanso, el departamento Caldas, se registran 30 especies distribuidas tres órdenes, constituyéndose una las localidades con mayor diversidad valle medio del río Magdalena. Se resalta existencia nueve distribuciones restringidas para esta área, e igualmente, partir registrados región, deduce que distrito...
Abstract Biodiversity loss is extreme in amphibians. Despite ongoing conservation action, it difficult to determine where we stand overcoming their extinction crisis. Among the most threatened amphibians are 131 Neotropical harlequin toads. Many of them declined since 1980s with several considered possibly extinct. Recently, more than 30 species have been rediscovered, raising hope for a reversing trend amphibian We use past and present data available toads ( Atelopus ), examine whether...
Abstract Tropical land‐use change is a key driver of global declines in biodiversity and major source anthropogenic carbon emissions, yet there substantial shortfall the funding available to tackle these issues. We urgently need mechanisms that can simultaneously both losses, with carbon‐based payments for ecosystem services (e.g. REDD +) particular interest. A critical question whether such offer strong carbon–biodiversity co‐benefits via regrowth forests on abandoned farmlands (carbon...
Se describe y nombra una nueva especie de anuro del género Atelopus la Cordillera Oriental Colombia. mittermeieri sp. nov. difiere resto las especies en por su particular color ventral, rojo encendido. El hallazgo población densa al parecer "saludable" resulta intrigante, ya que otras 3 registradas región no se han presentado observaciones recientes, lo cual hace temer un colapso sus poblaciones. reporte esta abre el camino para estudio conservación los sapitos arlequines
To establish the presence of amphibian and reptile species by cover their diet in agroecosystems Colombian coffee belt, we sampled four farms Departamento del Quindío two Valle Cauca (Colombia) from 2006 to 2008. Specimens were captured using both VES technique manual capture; each gastrointestinal sample was analyzed get type (carnivore, omnivore or herbivore) frequency consumed items (detritus, animal parts, plant material minerals). Both sensitivity index (IS) dominance calculated find...
Eight species of salamanders are recognized to Cordillera Oriental Colombia. Here we describe a new the genus Bolitoglossa, named Bolitoglossa guaneae sp. nov. The highest number this is found in cloud forests located western flank Oriental.

Blood analysis is an essential tool in evaluating the health of amphibians; examination and blood cells provide important information on blood-parasite levels (Desser 2001), status different organ systems, insights immune system (Marnila et al. 1995).Blood samples can also be analyzed for genetic, toxicological, stable isotopes disease general or presence specific infectious diseases (Bulté 2006).Challenges amphibian venipuncture include small sizes specimens with few available sites...
Species traits provide a strong link between an organism's fitness and processes at community ecosystem levels. However, such data remain scarce for amphibians in the Neotropics. Colombia is country with highest number of threatened second greatest amphibian species worldwide. We present set containing eight morphological 4,623 museum specimens seven largest collections corresponding to 293 14 families. The measured per ranged from 1 118 individuals median 8 species. Overall, this database...
A new species of Pristimantis (Craugastoridae, subgenus Pristimantis) is described from a relict and unexplored cloud forest in the western slope Cordillera Oriental Colombian Andes. The specific name was chosen by consensus expert scientists local people. chamezensis sp. nov. easily distinguished congeneric having gray iris with black reticulations life, subconical tubercles on upper eyelid, chin edged irregular, dark-brown blotches, conical heel tubercles. phylogenetic analyses suggest...
A new species of frog the genus Hyloxalus from a high Andean forest central parts Cordillera Oriental, Colombia is recognized and described using integrative taxonomy. Using phylogenetic analyses 2590 base pairs (bp) mitochondrial DNA, felixcoperari sp. nov. was shown to belong lineage subpunctatus clade, part subgroup that comprises altitude-occurring lineages (subgroup I) sister taxa H. sensu stricto Bogotá plateau region.
