Whymper\u2019s findings in his botanical exploration of the Ecuadorian Andes in 1880 offer an opportunity to examine the impact of climate changes on species distribution over time. This research revised Whymper\u2019s historical plant species collections, recorded elevational distribution of the same species along his sampling routes on Chimborazo and Antisana volcanoes, and applied to them ecological indicator values. The results of this study suggest that species composition of p\u00e1ramo plant communities changed since 1880 in response not only to rising temperature, but also increasing dryness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This interdisciplinary collaboration, was co-authored by Ricardo Jaramillo, member of the Biosphere Institute-USFQ.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-405005\">\n\t<a class=\"kc_button\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s00035-021-00270-x\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" onclick=\"\">\n\t\tDOWNLOAD THIS ARTICLE\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-910958 kc_col-of-5 kc_column kc_col-of-5\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dado que el cambio clim\u00e1tico es una problem\u00e1tica de tanta relevancia, el Instituto Bi\u00f3sfera conjuntamente con Produbanco y Unidos con la Ciencia por el Planeta, y con el apoyo de Buen Plan, organizaron la charla.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7133,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/instituto-biosfera.org\/biosphere-institute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/instituto-biosfera.org\/biosphere-institute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/instituto-biosfera.org\/biosphere-institute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instituto-biosfera.org\/biosphere-institute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instituto-biosfera.org\/biosphere-institute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7131"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/instituto-biosfera.org\/biosphere-institute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7131\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7139,"href":"https:\/\/instituto-biosfera.org\/biosphere-institute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7131\/revisions\/7139"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instituto-biosfera.org\/biosphere-institute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/instituto-biosfera.org\/biosphere-institute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instituto-biosfera.org\/biosphere-institute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instituto-biosfera.org\/biosphere-institute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
