Cryptic Diversity in Colombian Edible Leaf-Cutting Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).
Leaf-cutting ants are often considered agricultural pests, but they can also benefit local people and serve important roles in ecosystems. Throughout their distribution, winged reproductive queens of leaf-cutting ants in the genus Atta Fabricius, 1804 are consumed as a protein-rich food source and sometimes used for medical purposes. Little is... -

Synonymies in Ananas (Bromeliaceae).
To clarify the last pineapple classification, which only recognizes the tetraploid crownless A. macrodontes and the diploid A. comosus, with three cultivated and two wild botanical varieties, we re-establish A. comosus var. microstachys and revise ancient synonymies, underlining misinterpretations and distinguishing horticultural names from botanical names whenever possible.Coppens d'Eeckenbrugge, Geo ; Govaerts, Rafaël

Frailejones en peligro.
Los frailejones (subtribu Espeletiinae, familia Asteraceae) son posiblemente las más importantes y carismáticas plantas del ecosistema de páramo. Con 90 especies reconocidas, 78 de las cuales son endémicas, Colombia tiene un papel fundamental en su conservación. La mayoría de las especies de frailejones tienen distribuciones restringidas a uno o unos...Diazgranados, Mauricio ; Castellanos Castro, Carolina

Diversidad de comunidades de palmas en el Chocó biogeográfico y su relación con la precipitación.
Los bosques tropicales del Chocó biogeográfico presentan una de las mayores concentraciones de especies de plantas del mundo. Las palmas (Arecaceae) son una de las familias más importantes en las tierras bajas del Chocó, pero su ecología está poco estudiada. Investigamos la diversidad de comunidades de palmas en el Chocó...Palmae, Tropical forests, Biodiversity, Colombia, Arecaceae, Neotropic, and Community ecology

Understanding the diversity and biogeography of Colombian edible plants.
Despite being the second most biodiverse country in the world, hosting more than 7000 useful species, Colombia is characterized by widespread poverty and food insecurity. Following the growing attention in Neglected and Underutilized Species, the present study will combine spatial and taxonomic analysis to unveil their diversity and distribution, as...Plant breeding, Sustainability, Edible plants, Biogeography, Colombia, Plant ecology, and Plant domestication

Acianthera hagsateri (Pleurothallidinae), a new species from the sub-andean forest of Colombia.
A new species of Acianthera from the relict cloud forests of Valle del Cauca, Colombia is described and illustrated. This new species, Acianthera hagsateri, morphologically resembles A. geminicaulina, A. decurrens, and A. erythrogramma, but differs from them by its shorter plants and stems, the elliptic and obtuse smaller leaves, the... -

A new combination is required in Conocliniopsis (Compositae: Eupatorieae: Gyptidinae).
A new combination, , in R.M.King & H.Rob. (Compositae: Eupatorieae: Gyptidinae) is provided. An earlier assessment of Prince Maximilian Wied-Neuwied’s collections (sent by Martius to Colla), proposed that Colla’s was a new synonym of (Kunth) R.M.King & H.Rob., a Colombian endemic. A critical assessment of Wied’s collection has indicated that...Hind, D. J. Nicholas

Re-establishment of Pithecellobium subglobosum in Colombia and Venezuela (Leguminosae, Mimosoideae, tribe Ingeae).
Pithecellobium subglobosum is re-established as a species and P. concinnum and P. larense are referred to its synonymy. A critical analysis of type specimens of Pithecellobium section Pithecellobium from the Neotropic as well as many other herbarium collections shows that P. subglobosum is a morphologically distinct species related to P.... -

Bridging local and scientific knowledge for area-based conservation of useful plants in Colombia.
While the importance of interdisciplinary approaches is increasingly recognised in conservation, bridging knowledge systems across scales remains a fundamental challenge. Focusing on the Important Plant Areas (IPA) approach, we evaluate how complementing scientific and local knowledge can better inform the conservation of useful plants in Colombia. We worked in three... -
