Abstract:

Community-based ecotourism in Yasuní National Park is presented as a tool for sustainable development and environmental preservation in one of the most biodiverse areas of the world. This study analyzes the perception of local stakeholders and visitors on the impact of community-based ecotourism. To achieve this objective, a Delphi methodology was applied to gather opinions and build consensus among experts on the impact of community-based ecotourism in Yasuní National Park, using two research techniques: an interview with a focus group of 15 people from the community and a survey of 90 touris

Abstract:

In Ecuador, following the late 2000’s commodity boom, a populist government invested increased oil revenues into social spending, reducing inequality, and gaining a rare period of political stability. The Yasuní National Park has been the focal point of this dynamic since 2006 when the government endorsed a ground-breaking plan to protect the park called the Yasuni ITT initiative. The initiative’s demise in 2013 raises the question: what explains the government’s initial support of, and then rejection of the ITT initiative? Upon combining the theories of extractive imperative and limited acces

Abstract:

This article explores the saga of the campaign to save the Ishpingo-Tambococha-Tiputini (ITT) block of the Yasuní National Park in Ecuador's Western Amazon, a story of the complex transnational networks and global governance mechanisms that have emerged to create post-Kyoto solutions for the planet. Ecuador's Yasuní-ITT Initiative to keep nearly 900 million barrels of oil underground in exchange for global contributions for avoided emissions presents an alternative norm for global environmental governance in line with the indigenous concept of buen vivir, or the good life. This means living in

Abstract:

The Yasuní-ITT (Ishpingo-Tambococha-Tiputini) Initiative consisted of leaving the oil underground in a part of Yasuní National Park in the Ecuadorean Amazon, one of the most biodiverse regions in the world. The financial compensation was to be invested in renewable energy, protection of biodiversity, and conservation of 44 protected areas. This initiative proposed a change of imaginaries. One of its most important contributions was questioning the fundamental role of oil in our capitalist and productivist society.

This research paper focuses on an important group of fungi in the family Polyporaceae and examines the genera Polyporus, Atroporus, and Neodictyopus that form aerial melanized cord-like structures called rhizomorphs. Phylogenetic analyses, macro and micromorphological descriptions of basidiomata and rhizomorphs, as well as cultural characterization were completed to better understand these ecologically important fungi

Abstract:

The Yasuni National Park, one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet, lies at the heart of Ecuador’s environmental and economic debate. Located in the Ecuadorian Amazon, the Ishpingo, Tambococha, and Tiputini (ITT) block contains significant oil reserves, presenting an economic opportunity for the country. However, its exploitation poses serious risks to biodiversity, uncontacted indigenous communities, and the global climate commitments that Ecuador has embraced. This essay analyzes the economic and environmental impacts of exploiting the Yasuni ITT.

In this paper we examine populations of Mabuya lizards across Amazonian Ecuador in an attempt to establish their taxonomic identity and phylogenetic affinities. We confirm the presence of both M. altamazonica and M. nigropunctata and describe a new species from Yasuní National Park, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. The new species differs from its congeners in lepidosis and color patterns. For the first time, we include samples from Ecuador in a molecular phylogenetic analysis of Mabuya, which confir

AbstractWe describe the death of a tapir (Tapirus terrestris) in a mineral lick, captured by a camera trap. We narrate the ante mortem event and the scavengers associated with the post mortem event. Six mammal species (Mazama zamora, Pecari tajacu, Dasyprocta fuliginosa, Cuniculus paca, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris and Dasypus novemcinctus) and two species of birds (Ortalis guttata and Pipile cumanensis) were registered in the ante mortem event. Three species of scavenging birds (Coragyps atratus, Cathartes melambrotus and Sarcoramphus papa) and one species of reptile (Chelonoidis denticulatus) w

La colonización dirigida, espontánea y estratégica, además de la permanente ampliación de la frontera agrícola para la extracción de recursos naturales, han determinado el uso y zonificación del espacio amazónico en los últimos 50 años. Las drásticas huellas socio-económicos, culturales y ambientales generadas por estos procesos han impactado negativamente la vida de los pueblos ancestrales y la naturaleza. Una consecuencia drástica es el cambio de la comprensión de la territorialidad en el interior de los territorios indígenas, y de la percepción que de aquel cambio tienen el Estado y los act

Seven strains representing a novel yeast species belonging to the genus Kazachstania were found at several collection sites on both mainland Ecuador (Yasuní National Park) and the Galápagos (Santa Cruz Island). Two strains (CLQCA 20-132T and CLQCA 24SC-045) were isolated from rotten wood samples, two further strains (CLQCA 20-280 and CLQCA 20-348) were isolated from soil samples, and three strains (CLQCA 20-198, CLQCA 20-374 and CLQCA 20-431) were isolated from decaying fruits.

Abstract:

Herbarium- and field-based research indicates that the neotropical genus Swartzia is represented in Ecuador by at least 17 species. A key is provided to aid their identification. In addition, two species, previously undocumented in the literature, are described and illustrated. Both appear to be endemic to Ecuador. Swartzia decidua is known from a confined area of the pre-montane humid forest zone on the western slopes of the Andes Mountains in Pichincha Province, where it is threatened by habitat destruction. It belongs to S. sect. Paucistaminae and is notable in the context of the genus for

Abstract:

Abstract Despite the ongoing impacts of climate change around the world, fossil fuels continue to drive the global economy. The socio-environmental impacts of oil development at the local level are widely recognized, especially in high biocultural diversity areas, highlighting the need to develop and implement effective policies that protect both biodiversity and human rights. In consideration of the estimated remaining carbon budget to limit global warming at 1.5 °C, as well as Ecuador’s past attempts at limiting carbon extraction through the Yasuni-ITT Initiative, we adopt a new framework to

Abstract:

Abstract:The process by which solitary animals evolve to live in groups is a central question in biology. Conspecifics that compete for patchy resources may evolve incipient social behaviours such as group formation and conspecific tolerance when persistent aggressive interactions reduce resource access. In this investigation, a facultative group living species of whip spider was studied to understand the microhabitat resources that support group formation. Although most species of whip spider are solitary and oftentimes cannibalistic, Heterophrynus batesii sometimes aggregate in small groups

AbstractHerbaceous plants are often under-studied in tropical forests, despite their high density and diversity, and little is known about the factors that influence their distribution at microscales. In a 25-ha plot in lowland Amazonian rain forest in Yasuní National Park, Ecuador, we censused six species of Heliconia (Heliconiaceae) in a stratified random manner across three topographic habitat types. We observed distribution patterns consistent with habitat filtering. Overall, more individuals occurred in the valley (N = 979) and slope (N = 847) compared with the ridge (N = 571) habitat. At
