“…obs.) and the proposed land reforms (Gobierno‐Colombia and FARC‐EP 2016) are likely to result in a rapid increase in agriculture and extractive industries (Negret, Allan, Braczkowski, Maron, & Watson, ). Thus, it is important to delimit conservation units (at or below the species level) that can guide the implementation of the appropriate taxon‐based conservation legislature.…”

“…Although the tropical rainforest where O. solanensis sp. nov. inhabits has been relatively well conserved; illegal and legal gold mining at the margins of Quito river has left some deforestation, water contamination and habitat lost (Negret et al 2017). It may be possible that the geographic range of O. solanensis sp.…”

In this study, we present an iterative method for delimiting species under the general lineage concept (GLC) based on the multivariate clustering of morphological, ecological and genetic data. Our rationale is that distinct multivariate groups correspond to evolutionarily independent metapopulation lineages because they reflect the common signal of different secondary defining properties (environmental and genetic distinctiveness, phenotypic diagnosability, etc.) that imply the existence of barriers preventing or limiting gene exchange. We applied this method to study a group of endangered poison frogs, the Oophaga histrionica complex. In our study case, we used next-generation targeted amplicon sequencing to obtain a robust genetic data set that we combined with patterns of morphological and ecological features. Our analyses revealed the existence of at least five different species in the histrionica complex (three, new to science), some of them, occurring in small isolated populations outside any protected areas. The lineage delimitation proposed here has important conservation implications as it revealed that some of the Oophaga species should be considered among the most vulnerable of the Neotropical frogs. More broadly, our study exemplifies how multiple-amplicon and multivariate statistical techniques can be integrated to successfully identify species and their boundaries.

“…Proactive efforts in Afghanistan have already helped the government adopt a National Protected Area System Plan and establish its first provisional national park . Efforts are also underway to include biodiversity goals in rural development plans for postwar Colombia, where territory controlled by FARC rebels for over five decades remains largely forested . Sustained commitment is necessary for biodiversity conservation to succeed in the postwar period, however.…”

Biodiversity conservation and armed conflict: a warfare ecology perspective

The activities involved in preparing for, executing, and recovering from armed conflict are globally pervasive and consequential, with significant impacts on natural systems. Effects on biodiversity are predominantly negative, produced by direct and indirect battlefield impacts, as well as the general breakdown of social, economic, and governance systems during wartime. Certain conservation opportunities do occur, however, particularly on lands set aside for training exercises, buffer zones, and peace parks. Here, the relationship between armed conflict and biodiversity is reviewed using the temporal framework of warfare ecology, which defines warfare as an ongoing process of three overlapping stages: preparations, war (armed conflict), and postwar activities. Several themes emerge from recent studies, including a heightened awareness of biodiversity conservation on military lands, the potential for scientific and conservation engagement to mitigate negative biodiversity impacts in war zones, and the importance of the postwar period for incorporating biodiversity priorities into reconstruction and recovery efforts. Research limitations and knowledge gaps are also discussed.

“…So even with Colombia appearing to meet all the requirements at the national level, conservation success is not guaranteed without effective and complementary efforts at regional scales (Negret et al . ). Rural Colombia faces the challenges of resettling displaced peoples and reintegrating combatants, which have caused defaunation problems in Cambodia (Loucks et al .…”
