Field biology is an area of research that involves working directly with living organisms in situ through a practice known as "fieldwork." Conducting fieldwork often requires complex logistical planning within multiregional or multinational teams, interacting local communities at field sites, and collaborative led by one few the core team members. However, existing power imbalances stemming from geopolitical history, discrimination, professional position, among other factors, perpetuate...
Natural history museums are vital repositories of specimens, samples and data that inform about the natural world; this Formal Comment revisits a Perspective advocated for adoption compassionate collection practices, querying whether it will ever be possible to completely do away with whole animal specimen collection.
Abstract Species delimitation requires a broad assessment of population-level variation using multiple lines evidence, process known as integrative taxonomy. More specifically, studies species limits must address underlying questions what the distribution populations, how traits vary in association with different environments, and whether observed trait differences may lead to speciation through reproductive isolation. While genomic data have revolutionized delimiting species, such should be...

The influence of geologic and Pleistocene glacial cycles might result in morphological genetic complex scenarios the biota Mesoamerican region. We tested whether berylline, blue-tailed steely-blue hummingbirds, Amazilia beryllina , cyanura saucerottei show evidence historical or current introgression as their plumage colour variation suggest. also analysed role past present climatic events promoting species diversification. collected mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence data microsatellite...
Biogeography has as a central theme, which is the study of geographic ranges species that are determined by evolutionary history, abiotic factors, and biotic interactions. Understanding influence interactions on topic been little explored, especially in way compares vary intensity interaction. Here, we assessed interaction determinant range overlap between ant-following birds army ants Mexico Central America. We hypothesized birds, obligate or facultative, predicts interacting species, well...
Since its development in 2020, the Guatemala Biodiversity Portal (Fig. 1), generated with Symbiota (Gries et al. 2014, Gilbert Support Hub 2021), has turned into an outstanding resource to facilitate digitization, mobilization, and use of specimen data from local natural history collections (Orellana 2023). More than 50,000 records several thousands images Guatemalan zoological, botanical, mycological, paleontological have been shared online for first time this portal. An integrated...
El conocimiento de la biodiversidad una región es fundamental para dirigir su conservación y manejo. La biogeografía evolución nos guían conceptualmente estudiar vida en un continuo espacial temporal. temporal del que forma parte Guatemala, al ser Istmo Centroamericano, determina características únicas. Asimismo, historia geológica climática Guatemala ha generado topografía compleja con múltiples tipos ambientes, los cuales han sido dinámicos a lo largo tiempo. Todo esto resulta presencia...
