Abstract The keystone roles of mega‐fauna in many terrestrial ecosystems have been lost to defaunation. Large predators and herbivores often play their native ranges, some established invasive populations new biogeographic regions. However, few empirical examples are available guide expectations about how affect novel environmental evolutionary contexts. We examined the impacts on aquatic an emerging population hippopotamus ( Hippopotamus amphibus ) that has growing Colombia over last 25 yr....

The Andes mountains extend North-South in a latitudinal gradient of 8,500 km. Due to the great climatic variety and peculiar north-south orographic distribution, lakes are very diverse, including different lake origins contrasting morphometries. Here, we reviewed more than 700 ecological studies on Andean identify main threats these freshwater systems. most important UV radiation, changes water balance, eutrophication, all three interacting with climate change, alien species introduction,...

Study of the mechanisms regulating species richness in aquatic systems is essential for understanding functioning and conservation these environments, especially Neotropics, given lack relevant information. In 15 lakes three geographical regions South America, we studied effects lake size, concentration chlorophyll a, variety photosynthetic pigments temporal stability habitat on crustacean zooplankton richness. Lake size a did not show significant relationship with However, degree...

Functional morphology corresponds to adaptive responses changes in the environment. In phytoplankton, traits such as development of mucilage, oil vesicles, filaments and variation surface/volume ratio, allow algae deal with sedimentation, optimizing light nutrient uptake. The aim this research was evaluate relationship between physical chemical conditions Tota Lake (Boyacá, Colombia). For this, ten samplings were undertaken a monthly basis October 2013 July 2014. We measured water pH,...
