Abstract Biodiversity loss is extreme in amphibians. Despite ongoing conservation action, it is difficult to determine where we stand in overcoming their extinction crisis. Among the most threatened amphibians are the 131 Neotropical harlequin toads.

Here, the authors investigate the aboveground carbon sink efficiency of Andean forests. The study shows the high potential of these forests to serve as future carbon refuges, and urges to reduce deforestation and increase restoration.

Recently, Valencia et al. [1] we described a new species of Pristimantis from the northwestern foothills of Ecuador. However, we made a mistake in using a specific epithet previously occupied for a frog of eastern and western foothills of Antioquia,
