DOI: 10.1186/s12936-019-2699-9
Abstract: BackgroundAvian haemosporidia are obligate blood parasites with an ample range of hosts worldwide. To understand how host communities may influence the diversity of parasites of the neotropics, the spatial genetic variation of avian Plasmodium, Haemoproteus,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0207544
Abstract: Understanding diversity patterns along environmental gradients lies at the heart of community ecology and conservation. Previous studies have found variation in bird diversity and density along “natural” elevational gradients in the Tropical Andes Hotspot. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/atmos11020213
Abstract: The correct estimation of Sensible Heat Flux (H) and Latent Heat Flux (LE) (i.e., turbulent fluxes) is vital in the understanding of exchange of energy and mass among hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere in an ecosystem.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants12081710
Abstract: The Pleistocene climatic oscillations (PCO) that provoked several cycles of glacial–interglacial periods are thought to have profoundly affected species distribution, richness and diversity around the world. While the effect of the PCO on population dynamics… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/hess-27-1493-2023
Abstract: Abstract. The Tropical Andes is a biodiversity hotspot facing pressure from planned and ongoing hydropower development. However, the effects of dams on the region's river ecosystems, as mediated by physicochemical changes in the water quality,… read more here.

Effects of the environmental conditions and seasonality on a population survey of the Andean condor Vultur gryphus in the tropical Andes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.14763
Abstract: Background Among the New World vultures, the Andean condor is considered one of the most culturally and ecologically important species. However, their populations are declining over their entire distributional range. In response, conservation strategies have… read more here.
