Background: The use of alirocumab and evolocumab is generally safe and well-tolerated. However, concerns remain about their long-term safety, especially with regard to new-onset or worsening diabetes mellitus (DM). We aim to assess the safety profile of alirocumab and evolocumab compared to comparator.

We evaluated the richness and composition of bryophytes in secondary successional forests and mixed plantations of . In each forest type, the presence and cover of epiphytic bryophytes was registered in 400 quadrats of 20 cm × 30 cm.

- The study reveals that knowledge about Andean forest structure and function is limited at larger scales, especially in the tropical and subtropical regions.
- The research analyzed tree species diversity and patterns across ~4000 km of latitude and ~4000 m of elevation, utilizing a comprehensive database of 491 forest plots.
- Findings show that tree density and basal area increase with elevation, while species richness decreases with both elevation and latitude, highlighting the distinct compositions of subtropical versus tropical forests.
