    Incorporación del “Compromiso de Conservación del Reino Fungi” en la Legislación Ambiental Colombiana: Mecanismos Jurídicos para su Protección en el Contexto de la Triple Crisis Ambiental
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Suarez Montiel, Gineth Alejandra; Vallejo Piedrahita, Catalina.
    Fungi, although at times imperceptible to many, play essential ecological roles for life on Earth, such as decomposing organic matter, forming symbiotic relationships with plants, and bioremediating contaminated soils.However, they have historically been overlooked in environmental conservation policies, both in Colombia and internationally. This research aims to address the following question: What legal mechanisms can be used to incorporate into Colombian environmental legislation the Fungi Kingdom Conservation Commitment, adopted within the framework of the 16th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 16 of the CBD), in order to ensure the conservation of fungi and recognize their ecological role in mitigating the triple planetary crisis?The guiding hypothesis of this study holds that, although Colombian regulations currently do not explicitly address the Fungi Kingdom, there are constitutional foundations, environmental principles, and recent regulatory developments that would allow for its formal incorporation—provided there is political will and progressive interpretation by legal authorities. The research adopted a legal-dogmatic approach, using methods such as case analysis, comparative law, and historical method to examine the evolution of Colombian environmental regulations regarding the conservation of national biodiversity. Data collection included document review, national and international regulatory analysis, and fieldwork in ecosystems in the department of Antioquia, with the support of expert mycologists, within the framework of a research initiative launched by the Law and Environment research group at EAFIT University. The dogmatic legal analysis revealed significant regulatory gaps, but also recent advances, such as Resolution 0126 of 2024, which for the first time includes fungal species in the national list of threatened species. Likewise, concrete mechanisms are proposed for incorporating the Commitment—and thus fungi—into conservation regulations, such as their inclusion in the 2030 Biodiversity Action Plan, the creation of protected areas specialized in fungi within the National System of Protected Areas (SINAP), and their mandatory consideration in Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs).From a comparative law perspective, the study examines the cases of Chile—pioneering in integrating fungi into its environmental legislation since 2010—and Ecuador, where the Constitutional Court protected the Fungi Kingdom in the Los Cedros Forest case, recognizing the rights of nature.The study concludes that Colombia has the institutional framework necessary to advance toward a more inclusive legal protection and that recognizing the Fungi Kingdom would contribute not only to biodiversity conservation but also to ecological and biocultural justice. It recommends strengthening mycological research, updating environmental regulatory frameworks, and incorporating the traditional knowledge of Indigenous and rural communities as the basis for more integrated and sustainable ecosystem management.

    Unveiling the cryptic morphology and ontogeny of the Colombian Caiman crocodilus: a geometric morphometric approach
    (Springer Verlag, 2019-01-01) Angulo-Bedoya M.; Correa S.; Benítez H.A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias; Biodiversidad, Evolución y Conservación
    Caiman crocodilus is an alligatoroid broadly distributed in the neotropics from Mexico to Brazil, where Colombia is the only country that has the complete subspecies complex distributed in its territory. This species has been the focus of many genetic, ecological and morphological studies. However, these studies are limited to traditional morphology methods or have limitations to examine interspecific variation among the four subspecies reported in Colombia. This is the first study of intraspecific variation in the skull of Caiman crocodilus complex distributed in Colombia, using a two-dimensional approach of geometric morphometric on 122 post-hatching ontogenetic cranial series. Morphological differences between species and changes during ontogeny (snout increases its length and, skull roof and orbits decrease their proportions) that represents part of morphological changes in the cranial ontogeny of crocodilians were found. In the morphospace, there was a significant differentiation of C. crocodilus apaporiensis and C. crocodilus crocodilus from C. crocodilus fuscus and C. crocodilus chiapasius. Results from this study revealed that C. crocodilus apaporiensis is a differentiated group from the global complex as well as that the specimens of C. crocodilus chiapasius collected from Medem in Colombia may be showing cryptic morphology in some traits. © 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
