Endoparasites of the genus Porocephalus, which mainly affect lungs of snakes, are distributed in Asia, Africa and America. In Ecuador, these parasites have been reported only for Boa constrictor . Here, we report the first record of infestation of Porocephalus in Epicrates cenchria cenchria from the Ecuadorian Amazon, based on examination of museum specimens. We found 26 parasitic individuals in 4 infected snakes, with a maximum of 16 individuals in a juvenile snake, and a minimum of 2 in an adult snake. Morphometric characters of the Ecuadorian populations of Porocephalus do not agree with those described for the genus. Therefore, we recommend a thorough analysis to define the taxonomic identity of these parasites.

The family Amaryllidaceae has been postulated as a monophyletic group in different analyses, in which three big clades are recognized as subfamilies (Agapanthoideae, Allioideae and Amaryllidoideae). We examined specimens of the family and explored different areas of the country where there were previous records or potential occurrence of the group, in order to determine the diversity of this family in Colombia. The Amaryllidaceae are represented in Colombia by 18 genera and 48 species, of which 11 genera and 27 species are native, including 9 species endemic to the country. The areas with the largest species diversity are the Western and Eastern Cordillera, and the biogeographic Choco, especially in the departments of Cauca, Cundinamarca and Valle del Cauca. We present an updated definition of the family, considering its current circumscription, and describe the genera occurring in Colombia, as well as the inventory of the species and their distribution.

The Agami heron, Agamia agami , is a rare species of the Neotropics, and even though its distribution is large, little is known about the sites where it congregates to nest. We report a new nesting site, which is the eighth reported site in the Neotropics, located in Tambococha, Yasuni National Park, Ecuador. We estimate that it is occupied by approximately 140 individuals, based on the 70 nests counted and considering the monogamous behavior of this species for at least one year. The discovery of this nesting colony is important to determine more precisely the distribution area of this species, and, in the future, monitor populations and develop studies of population genetics, migration, and behavioral movements as a basis to implement a conservation strategy for the Agami Heron in Ecuador.

We present the results of three years of sampling of amphibians and reptiles in different habitats in the municipality of San Jose del Guaviare, Guaviare, Colombia. We conducted four field excursions between 2012 and 2014 and found a total of 40 amphibian and 63 reptile species, representing a sampling coverage of 98 % for amphibians and 93 % for reptiles. Collection records and literature search increased our species list by 7 amphibians and 4 reptiles, for a total of 47 amphibians and 67 reptile species recorded for the region. Also, for the first time in Colombia, we documented the presence of the lizard Gymnophthalmus leucomystax , and confirmed the expansion of the distribution of the frog Boana maculateralis , and the snakes Atractus collaris , Atractus fuliginosus and Epictia amazonica in the department of Guaviare. Since most of the species found are from the central and western region of San Jose del Guaviare, sampling towards the eastern region, which has higher forest cover and less perturbed habitats, will undoubtedly increase the number of recorded species.

The Chingaza paramo complex is located in the Colombian eastern Cordillera, in the departments of Cundinamarca, Boyaca and Meta. Most of our current knowledge about this complex comes from studies conducted near Bogota and some focal sectors in the National Natural Park Chingaza. The goal of this study was to characterize the treeline transition zone through five elevational transects. As a result, we report 11,588 occurrences and 1382 data of functional traits for plants, edaphic fauna, amphibians, reptiles, and birds. In addition, we report occurrences from two vulnerable (VU) plant species ( Hedyosmum parvifolium and Centronia brachycera ) and a new endemic species ( Puya loca ). Preliminary analyses show natural variation in the landscape, community composition and altitudinal location of transition zones along the gradient and between locations. Using this dataset, it is possible to recognize defined transitions between high Andean forests and paramo ecosystems, and their elevation turnover through their physiognomic, floristic, ecological and chorological attributes.

We characterized bird communities in two paramo complexes (Frontino-Urrao and Sonson) in the department of Antioquia, Colombia, including the transition zones and the upper boundaries of cloud forests. We recorded 197 bird species (40 families), of which 7 presented some threat category, 1 is almost threatened, 5 are endemic, 15 near endemic, 4 boreal migratory species and 1 austral migratory species. We point out 12 species that are relevant, either due to their degree of national threat or because they represent geographic or altitudinal range extensions.

The soil microbiota is a biological indicator. The impact of four different land use patterns: Secondary forest (T1), rice monoculture (T2), pineapple monoculture (T3) and agroforestry system of Theobroma cacao associated with Acacia mangium (T4) at different distances: 0-10 cm (D1), 10-20 cm (D2), 20-30 cm (D3), 30 40 cm (D4) and 40-50 cm (D5) on counts of Colony Forming Units (CFUs) of fungi, bacteria, actinobacteria were tested in an Oxisol of Villavicencio, Orinoquia, East Colombia. An unrestricted random design was applied. More number of CFUs of soil bacteria, fungi and actinobacteria were recorded in secondary forest (T1) at all the distances from the root surface when compared to the other treatments. However, a similar trend was observed for counts of CFUs of soil fungi and bacteria in secondary forest (T1) at (D4) and (D5) distances from the root surface compared with agroforestry system (T4) at all distances from the root surface (P≤0.05). Meanwhile that there was similarity in number of CFUs of soil actinobacteria between secondary forest (T1) and agroforestry system (T4) at all the distances (P≥0.05). The least count of CFUs of soil microbiota was recorded in pineapple monoculture (T3) at all the distances from the root surface (P≤0.05).

We present the list of amphibians of the department of Tolima, Colombia, based on specimens deposited in the zoological collection of the Tolima University and other collections in the country. We report 93 species of amphibians for the department: 85 Anurans, 5 Caecilians and 3 Urodeles. In addition, we present an analysis of the altitudinal distribution and conservation status of these species. According to the species similarity along the altitudinal gradient in the department, three groups of amphibians can be recognized: one of lowland species (up to 1500 m a. s. l.), another of intermediate species (from 1501 to 2500 m a. s. l.), and a group of highland species (from 2501 m. a. s. l.). Finally, following the information from the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), 3 % of the species from the Tolima department are classified as Critically Endangered, 2 % Near Threatened, 16 % Vulnerable, 7 % Endangered, 59 % Least Concern, 6 % Data Deficient and 7 % Not Evaluated. In conclusion, the department of Tolima offers an important geographic area to the amphibian diversity of Colombia, including several Colombian endemic species, species under threat categories and two species restricted to the department.
我们根据保存在托利马大学动物收藏馆和该国其他收藏馆的标本，列出了哥伦比亚托利马系的两栖动物名单。我们为该部门报告了93种两栖动物：85种Anurans，5种Caecilian和3种Urodele。此外，我们还对这些物种的海拔分布和保护状况进行了分析。根据该部门海拔梯度上的物种相似性，可以识别出三组两栖动物：一组是低地物种（高达1500 m a.s.l.），另一组是中间物种（1501至2500 m a.s.l.），还有一组是高地物种（2501 m a.s.l..），根据国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）的信息，托利马省3%的物种被列为极度濒危物种，2%为近危物种，16%为易危物种，7%为濒危物种，59%为最不受关注物种，6%为数据不足物种，7%未经评估物种。总之，托利马省为哥伦比亚两栖动物多样性提供了一个重要的地理区域，包括几个哥伦比亚特有物种、受威胁物种和两个限制在该省的物种。

Six species of armadillos have been recorded in Colombia, five of which are found in the Orinoco region. For the department of Arauca, information on these species is insufficient and outdated. We determined the abundance and uses of two genera of armadillos (Dasypus and Priodontes) through the application of surveys, linear transects and the use of trap cameras. We obtained a total of 22 sightings, of which 13 corresponded to Dasypus sabanicola , 8 to D. novemcinctus and 1 to Priodontes maximus . 2.8 % (4) of the people interviewed assured they had observed D. kappleri . Through the interviews developed, we found that 95.2 % of people take advantage of armadillos as a source of protein, 3.4 % use them as pets and 1.4 % commercialize them. The armadillos in the municipality of Arauca may be threatened due to subsistence hunting and the destruction and fragmentation of their habitats.

The presence of 22 species of seed-free vascular plants is documented for the first time in the department of Tolima, Colombia, mainly as a result of the revision of specimens in the herbarium of the Universidad de Caldas (FAUC). Eight of these species extended their range of altitudinal distribution. The endemic species Luisma bivascularis (Polypodiaceae) is highlighted due the extension of its geographic and elevational distributions, previously restricted to its type locality, and because a new habit was recorded for it.

The endemic species Luisma bivascularis (Polypodiaceae) is highlighted due the extension of its geographic and elevational distributions, previously restricted to its type locality, and because a new habit was recorded for it.","PeriodicalId":36353,"journal":{"name":"Biota Colombiana","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.21068/C2018.V19N02A02","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47216604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
