Aim Colombia is a country that provides a wide supply of nutrients produced in its different regions during the two seasons that make up its climate, being a place of arrival, departure, or transit of migratory species. We wanted to collect the bibliographic information associated with migratory species that transit Colombia and that were reported in scientific documentation. Location The systematic search for information was carried out using virtual platforms from the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá, Colombia. Methods Information about the migratory species of Colombia (MSC) was compiled from two bibliographic databases (Scopus and Web of Science-SciELO Citation Index), combining biological aspects with keywords associated with migration. From both the Scopus and Web of Science databases (SciELO Citation index), the largest number of articles was collected using query strings, which included words associated with the migration of Colombian species (names associates with MSC, class of migration, distribution geographical, migratory orientation, and phylogeny). Results Between 1914 and 2020, we recovered 4286 titles globally, and of these titles, 264 only for Colombia, according to the affiliation reported by the authors in the different publications. Publication trends show that research on migratory species is being conducted mainly in fishes, mammals, and birds. An association between the words and the fields of knowledge related with the migratory animal groups present in Colombia was found, showing that the migratory species have been studied in cooperation with partners of other countries and this visualized with text mining. Main conclusions The data show that Colombian fauna biodiversity is big but the number of studies in MSC is reduced.

Phenotypic plasticity of the upper critical thermal limits (CTmax) may be crucial for ectotherms when it enables them to respond rapidly to extreme and novel thermal conditions. Although current studies have widely reported on the effect of increasing temperature on the magnitude of the plastic response of ectotherms, little is known about timing of upper thermal acclimation. These temporal components may be adaptive and of major environmental concern, especially under the increasing frequency of episodic heatwaves, predicted by climate change models together with quick habitat conversion. We experimentally studied the temporal acquisition of a greater thermal tolerance by acclimation effect in four species of tropical tadpoles, adjusting the daily variation in the CTmax to an asymptotic function and analyzing its main parameters: asymptotic CTmax (CTmax∞) and acclimation rate of the CTmax (K), under two realistic daily thermal fluctuations: mean daily fluctuation (MF) and extreme hot fluctuation (HF), and under the corresponding constant temperatures, mean constant (MC) and hot constant (HC). The rate of acclimation was higher for constant and hotter conditions, with which the CTmax∞ was reached in a shorter time under these conditions. The time to achieve the CTmax∞ was between one and three days depending on the treatment of acclimation and species. Plastic responses are species-specific and appear to be adaptive to the level of thermal heterogeneity of their breeding environment. Engystomops pustulosus tadpoles, that develop in hot and thermally variable temporary pond had the greatest acclimation. This suggests that species exposed naturally to extreme heat events may exhibit the highest plastic response in acclimation to upper thermal tolerances.
