Habitat loss and fragmentation are critical threats to biodiversity decline as they decrease the species occurrence dispersal probability between natural habitats. Thus, promoting habitat connectivity supports accessibility vital resources within landscape, contributes long term population persistence. However, decision-making in human dominated landscapes challenges sustainability of conservation-based land management initiatives. The Llanganates – Sangay Ecological Corridor is located on...
Abstract Objectives This split‐mouth, double‐blind, randomized clinical trial evaluated the 1‐year bleaching efficacy produced by two hydrogen peroxide gels with different pHs. Materials and Methods Twenty‐eight patients were divided into groups corresponding to products: Pola Office (pH = 2.0/SDI) Plus 7.0/SDI). The treatment was assessed during after procedure up 12 months post‐treatment. assessment consisted of scales shade guide units (ΔSGU) spectrophotometric device (Δ E , ΔE00,...
ABSTRACT Habitat loss and fragmentation caused by deforestation are important anthropogenic drivers of changes in biodiversity the Amazon rainforest, has reached its highest rate recent decades. However, magnitude direction effects on species composition distribution have yet to be fully understood. We evaluated responses four taxonomic groups − birds, amphibians, orchid bees, dung beetles - habitat at both assemblage level northern Ecuadorian Amazon. sampled fifteen 250-m long plots...
Monitoring long-term forest dynamics is essential for assessing human-induced land-cover changes, and related studies are often based on the multi-decadal Landsat archive. However, in areas such as Tropical Andes, scarce data resulting poor signal-to-noise ratio time series render implementation of automated time-series analysis algorithms difficult. The aim this research was to investigate a novel approach that combines image compositing, multi-sensor fusion, postclassification change...
Green bottle flies (Diptera, Calliphoridae, Luciliinae) comprise a diverse and cosmopolitan taxon, known from at least 1,500 species. They have become crucial elements in forensic investigations, as they spend part of their life cycle decaying remains. Here, we review the distribution eleven Luciliinae species Ecuador: monotypic Blepharicnema ten Lucilia We identified specimens using morphological characters. Additionally, DNA barcoded 43 three 658bp segments standard Cytochrome Oxidase I...
Abstract Tropical forests have been subjected to increasing deforestation, leading severe habitat loss and fragmentation of the landscape. Studies various plant groups-indicate alteration in species diversity assemblage composition response these impacts. How theses impacts affect ferns lycophytes, however, is less well known. In this study we evaluate effects on lycophytes lowland non-inundated Ecuadorian Amazonia. We obtained information from thirteen plots located gradients (as measured...
