Vocal activity of the rufous nightjar (Antrostomus rufus) in subtropical Yungas Andean forests of Argentina by Alejandro Alberto Schaaf, Martín Boullhesen, Mauricio Sebastián Akmentins

“…By the employment of an acoustic remote unit, we evaluated the vocal activity and environmental variables of vocalizations by rufous nightjars during a complete annual cycle at one site in the Yungas Andean Forests of Northwestern Argentina. The results, based on one sampled site, indicate that the vocal activity of this species is performed during the breeding season (between September and November). …”

Density and diversity of macroinvertebrates in Colombian Andean streams impacted by mining, agriculture and cattle production by Ana M. Meza-Salazar, Giovany Guevara, Lucimar Gomes-Dias, Carlos A. Cultid-Medina

“…Conclusions The results suggest that the local impact of agricultural activities may be of equal or greater magnitude than that of mining in terms of AMI density, diversity and composition, in the Colombian Andean riverscape. Future studies should systematically evaluate, throughout the annual cycle, the relative effects of the productive land use, the remaining native vegetation cover and the consequent changes in the HPCB parameters of the water on AMI communities in Colombian Andean basins.…”

Detection of Spatial Rainfall Variation over the Andean Region Demonstrated by Satellite-Based Observations by Dibas Shrestha, Shankar Sharma, Rocky Talchabhadel, Rashila Deshar, Kalpana Hamal, Nitesh Khadka, Kenji Nakamura

“…In this study, characteristics of austral summer (December–February) precipitation are analyzed using 17-year (1998–2014) high-spatial-resolution (0.05° × 0.05°) data obtained from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) over the Andean region focusing on topographic impact. We observe an interaction between precipitation patterns and topography, with clear precipitation–elevation relationships in the Andes regions. …”
