“…These were defined as 'species outside of their bioregion which can possibly threaten native ones (De Candolle 1855; Darwin 1859; Pyšek et al 2004). It was however only after the 1950s that scientists became aware that biological invasions can have a deleterious effect on habitats and ecosystems (Elton 1958;Macdonald and Jarman 1984;Davis 2009). The 'father' of invasion biology, Charles Elton, defined biological invasions as 'ecological explosions' meaning 'the enormous increase in number of some organism' in newly invaded ranges (Elton 1958).…”

“…interspecific hybridization) to the ecosystem and landscape level (Largiadèr 2008;Kumschick et al 2015;Lazzaro et al 2020;Viciani et al 2020). Today, biological invasions are considered among the main drivers causing biodiversity loss and species extinctions in the major plant and animal taxa across the world (IUCN 2017;Dueñas et al 2021). Particularly, according to Bellard et al (2016), IAS are the second most frequent threat connected with species' extinction events since 1500.…”

“…Estas prácticas pueden resultar desastrosas y, actualmente, se sabe que las especies exóticas invasoras están causando cambios drásticos en los sistemas ecológicos, alteran profundamente las comunidades y los ecosistemas, contribuyen al descenso de la diversidad biológica (Falaschi et al, 2020) y dañan los servicios ecosistémicos (Gallardo et al, 2019). Además, junto con otras amenazas, estas prácticas están catalogadas como impulsoras de la extinción de especies (Dueñas et al, 2021).…”

Review of the human–snake conflict in Mexico: origin, mitigation and perspectives. The conflict between humans and snakes has existed since unmemorable times. Fear of and aversion towards these animals may have an evolutionary explanation and may be justified because venomous and deadly snakes cause thousands of deaths around the world each year. Furthermore, social perception, the media, myths, and even religion, increase and feed this fear, resulting in the intentional slaughter of snakes being a common practice in many places. As Mexico is a mega–diverse country with more species of snakes than any other country, it faces a particularly difficult situation with regard to snake bites. Here we revise this human–snake conflict from different perspectives in order to better understand it, to propose possible solutions to reduce it, and to contribute towards snake conservation.

“…Globally, climate change, invasive species, deforestation, overexploitation of natural resources, and pollution, among other human activities, are causing the most serious biodiversity crisis since the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago [10,11]. This is no different in Ecuador, where, along with cattle ranching, oil extraction and mining are currently the greatest threats to biodiversity [12,13].…”

At present, climate change is a direct threat to biodiversity and its effects are evidenced by an increasingly accelerated loss of biodiversity. This study identified the main threats presently facing the Tapirus pinchaque species in Ecuador, generated predictive models regarding its distribution, and analyzed the protected areas as a conservation tool. The methodology was based on a literature review and the application of binary predictive models to achieve these objectives. The main results indicate that the T. pinchaque is seriously threatened, mainly by changes in land use. In addition, three models were selected that show current and future suitable areas for the conservation of the species. Its current distribution amounts to 67,805 km2, 33% (22,872 km2) of which is located in 31 of the 61 protected areas. Finally, it is important to take timely actions focused on biodiversity conservation, considering the importance of balance in ecosystems to the humans dependent thereof, and the results regarding the changes in the current and future distribution areas of the mountain tapir are a great contribution to be used as a management tool for its conservation.
