Atopsyche is the largest genus of Hydrobiosidae in South America. The larvae are aquatic predators and highly sensitive to environmental changes. In the Andes, there are several endemic species. Here, we present seven new species and update the species present in Ecuador. @lerazuri.bsky.social
Diversity and distribution of the caddisfly genus Atopsyche Banks, 1905 in Ecuador, with the description of seven new species (Trichoptera: Hydrobiosidae)
Atopsyche is the largest Hydrobiosidae genus on the South American continent. The genus previously included 27 species in Ecuador. In this work, we describe and illustrate seven new species of Atopsyc...

Today let’s honor Ramon Margalef (1919-2004) who pioneering works on ecosystem organization, energy dynamics, and biodiversity.
While indirect his work align conceptually with the holistic approach of #Gaia theory, emphasizing the intricate ties between life and the environment.
