Institut National d'Etudes Démographiques, Paris, 93300, France.
Background: Venezuelan migration has experienced an unprecedented increase in the last decade, with approximately 7.7 million Venezuelan-born individuals residing in other countries as of 2024. Our study aims to identify the potential and actual demand for healthcare services (SRH) in the Venezuelan diaspora's four primary destinations within the Andean Countries: Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Chile.

Article Synopsis
- Astroblepus mindoensis, an endangered Andean climbing catfish species native to Ecuador, faces challenges in species classification, prompting important taxonomic discussions.
- This study utilized an integrative approach, combining cytogenetic analysis, molecular identification, and detailed morphological measurements to enhance the understanding of the species' taxonomy.
- Findings reveal distinct chromosomal markers and an unusual sex-determination system, with further research warranted to explore these features in relation to other species in the Astroblepus genus.
Fungal Diversity in an Undisturbed Andean Páramo Soil in Quimsacocha (Ecuador).

The Andean Páramo is an environment known for its high biodiversity; however, due to its remote location and difficult access, it is still relatively poorly studied. The aim of this work was to explore the fungal biodiversity of Ecuadorian Páramo soils in the undisturbed natural reserve of Quimsacocha through ITS metabarconding with an MiSeq platform. This analysis revealed the presence of 370 fungal Amplicon Sequence Variants (ASVs), mainly composed by , and .

Article Synopsis
- Legumes are nutritious seeds that can help combat hunger and improve food security for vulnerable populations.
- Native Andean legumes like Pajuro, Tarhui, Common bean, and Lima beans are rich in macro and micronutrients, as well as bioactive compounds that offer various health benefits.
- They also have industrial potential due to their favorable processing properties, making them valuable additions to daily diets in both their natural and processed forms.
Tracking climate vulnerability across spatial distribution and functional traits in Magnolia gentryi in the Peruvian tropical montane cloud forest.

Premise: Understanding the responses of functional traits in tree species to climate variability is essential for predicting the future of tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF) tree species, especially in Andean montane environments where fog pockets act as moisture traps.
Methods: We studied the distribution of Magnolia gentryi, measured its spatial arrangement, identified local hotspots, and evaluated the extent to which climate-related factors are associated with its distribution. We then analyzed the variation in 13 functional traits of M.
