Anthropogenic threats to the Vulnerable Andean Condor in northern South America.

Project description:Vultures comprise one of the most threatened groups of birds worldwide. With a total population not exceeding 6700 mature individuals, and in rapid decline across its range, the Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus) is listed as a Vulnerable species in the IUCN red list. Local population extinctions and decline are of particular concern in northern South America, where no more than 340 condors may exist at present. Despite this, no quantitative assessments exist in Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela regarding the threats affecting Andean Condor populations. To address this, we compiled records of Andean Condors injured, or killed, between 1979 and 2021. We obtained data of 164 condors affected by different causes of injury, of which 83.5% were reported in Ecuador, 15.2% in Colombia, and 1.2% in Venezuela. Of the total number, 84.7% of the injured individuals died. Between 1979 and 2021, in Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela, at least 103 Andean Condors were presumably poisoned, 22 were shot, and 39 individuals were affected by other causes. The total number of individuals affected by different causes represents between 48% and 72% of the total population estimated in northern South America. Of great concern is the fact that, between 2007 and 2021, poisoning and shooting together caused the loss of 19-31% of the estimated population of condors in Ecuador, and 7-21% of the estimated population in Colombia. Given the important mortality induced by humans, environmental education programs, socio-ecological research, application of environmental laws, and management strategies based on scientific evidence to prevent and mitigate human-wildlife conflicts are urgently required for effective Andean Condor conservation in northern South America.

Sustainability of wild plant use in the Andean Community of South America.

Project description:Overexploitation is the second biggest driver of global plant extinction. Meanwhile, useful plant species are vital to livelihoods across the world, with global conservation efforts increasingly applying the concept of 'conservation-through-use.' However, successfully balancing conservation and biodiversity use remains challenging. We reviewed literature on the sustainability of wild-collected plant use across the countries of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia-a region of global importance for its biological and cultural richness. After applying defined search terms and a two-stage screening process, 68 articles were reviewed. The numbers which reported sustainable, unsustainable, or context-dependent outcomes were relatively even, but national differences emerged. Through narrative synthesis, we identified five key, reoccurring themes: plant biology; land tenure; knowledge, resource, and capacity; economics and market pressures; and institutional structures, policy, and legislation. Our results show the need for flexible, context-specific approaches and the importance of collaboration, with bottom-up management and conservation methods involving local communities and traditional ecological knowledge often proving most effective.

The peopling of South America and the trans-Andean gene flow of the first settlers.

Project description:Genetic and archaeological data indicate that the initial Paleoindian settlers of South America followed two entry routes separated by the Andes and the Amazon rainforest. The interactions between these paths and their impact on the peopling of South America remain unclear. Analysis of genetic variation in the Peruvian Andes and regions located south of the Amazon River might provide clues on this issue. We analyzed mitochondrial DNA variation at different Andean locations and >360,000 autosomal SNPs from 28 Native American ethnic groups to evaluate different trans-Andean demographic scenarios. Our data reveal that the Peruvian Altiplano was an important enclave for early Paleoindian expansions and point to a genetic continuity in the Andes until recent times, which was only marginally affected by gene flow from the Amazonian lowlands. Genomic variation shows a good fit with the archaeological evidence, indicating that the genetic interactions between the descendants of the settlers that followed the Pacific and Atlantic routes were extremely limited.

Seasonal tissue-specific transcriptomic responses of the Andean Killifish Orestias ascotanensis

Project description:The Andean killifish Orestias ascotanensis inhabits the high-altitude Ascotán Salt Pan, an environment with variable salinity, high UV exposure, low oxygen, and extreme daily temperature fluctuations. These conditions make it an excellent model for studying high-altitude fish biology. However, the transcriptomic responses of O. ascotanensis to seasonal acclimation remain unexplored. To investigate seasonal and tissue-specific transcriptomic profiles, RNA-seq was performed on 42 libraries from gills, skin, and muscle tissues of 14 individuals collected in summer (n=7) and winter (n=7). Each library had a median of 105 million reads. Principal component analysis revealed strong tissue-specific expression, and seasonal differential expression analyses identified significant transcriptomic changes within each tissue. Additionally, a bioinformatics pipeline identified 10,365 high-confidence long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), predicted by at least three computational tools. Compared to protein-coding genes, lncRNAs exhibited higher tissue specificity, with a predominance of monoexonic structures and shorter exon lengths. This dataset provides the first comprehensive view of seasonal mRNA and lncRNA expression in O. ascotanensis tissues.
