TL;DR: This work uses modeling approaches in conjunction with environmental variables to model species distributions and patterns of genetic and morphological variation in seven Ecuadorian amphibian, bird, and mammal species and implies that in order to maximize representation of intraspecific variation in reserves, genetic and Morphological variation should be included in conservation prioritization.

TL;DR: Results of a yearlong study of a bat–flower community in cloud forests on the western slopes of the Ecuadoran Andes present the first direct evidence of bat pollination for those plants identified to species, including four species of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae) and a plant of the genus Meriania (Melastomataceae).

TL;DR: A new species, Heteromys teleus, found only in evergreen forests of central-western Ecuador, in areas less mesic and more seasonal than those characteristic of H. australis is described, which is unique within currently recognized species of mammals.

TL;DR: A new species, Heteromys teleus as discussed by the authors, was found only in evergreen forests of central-western Ecuador, in areas less mesic and more seasonal than those characteristic of H. australis.

TL;DR: The combined results of the FL and FIC indices, the cluster analysis, and the field observations reveal an agreement among vendors on 16 medicinal plant species and their therapeutic use of the “horchata” drink.
