In this joint EVOGENE/CEES seminar, professor Adriana Sánchez from Universidad del Rosario in Colombia will give the talk: "Challenges and opportunities in the open ecosystems of Colombia"

Colombia is well-known as the second most biodiverse country in the world. While much research has focused on the tropical rainforests, other ecosystems like the tropical alpine (páramo) and savannas remain relatively understudied. Páramos are neotropical alpine grasslands, located at elevations above 3000 m in the Andean mountain range. They are recognized as one of the fastest-evolving hotspots, characterized by high levels of endemism and over 3500 species of flora. In contrast, the lowland savannas, constituting about 25% of Colombian territory and 30% of its wetlands, have received comparatively less attention in biodiversity studies, despite an estimated 35% of species being endemic to the region. Both grasslands have very different abiotic conditions although fire used to be a common disturbance. This talk aims to introduce both ecosystems, ongoing projects, and potential avenues for future collaborative research.

In this talk I will cover the recent advances in the theory of power law distributions, in particular the role of Markov modulation and random stopping emphasized by Beare and Toda (2022), which builds on Nakagawa (2007)’s Tauberian theorem. Applications include the emergence of Zipf’s law in Japanese cities and the spread of COVID-19. I will also present open mathematical problems.
