This article is the forward to a special section on long-term ecological research in Chile. It briefly introduces the main topics and ideas of each of the articles and comment on their relevance in the context of research and monitoring of Chilean ecosystems and in the perspective of global change research.

Article assessing range-wide genetic structure and contemporary gene flow in the thorn-tailed rayadito (Aphrastura spinicauda), a passerine bird inhabiting the temperate forests of South America.

Article discusses the importance of valuing an alternative, ecological, aesthetic and post-modern-exotic hermeneutic in viewing Latin America, and discusses the colonial impression of a "exotic" Latin America.

Article integrating ecophysiological information with the development of new high-resolution climatic layers for Antarctica, to better understand how the distribution of P. steinenii may respond to change over the next century under different IPCC climate change scenarios. The authors conclude that the species has the potential to expand its distribution to include parts of the west and east coasts of the Antarctic Peninsula and even coastal ice-free areas in parts of continental Antarctica. The authors also propose P. steinenii as an effective native sentinel and indicator species of climate change in the Antarctic.

This article describes the use of the metaphor "the eyes of the tree" to overcome limitations to the International Long-Term Ecological Research Network by integrating ecological, philosophical, and technological components.

This article documents the presence of the common wasp V. vulgaris on Navarino Island, Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve, Southern Chile.

This article reports an apparently novel and taxonomically diverse grouping of plants that continuously maintain high tissue sodium contents and share the rare feature of possessing symbiotic cyanobacteria.

This article shows how Bergson's notions of variable lived space and the dynamic character of physical matter could lead to theories of fractal dimension and theories of the creation and expansion of matter.

This article describes the assessment of six long-term socio-ecological research (LTSER) platforms through site visits, coupled with reflections and insights of the platform managers.

This article studies the breeding biology of the Upland Goose (Chloephaga picta) in terms of clutch size, nesting sites, and breeding success as a function of habitat variables on Navarino Island, Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve, Chile.

Presentation for the Dallas Philosophers Forum. This presentation discusses the intertwining of environmentalism in the dharmic practices of traditional grass-roots rural communities such as Bishnois, Bhils, and Swadhyaya.

This article studies the nest-site selection and survival rate of the five most abundant open-cup forest-dwelling passerines (Elaenia albiceps, Zonotrichia capensis, Phrygilus patagonicus, Turdus falcklandii, and Anairetes parulus) in the world’s southernmost forests of Navarino Island, in the Cape Horn Biosphere reserve, Chile (55°S).

Article describing the breeding strategies (i.e., nest dimensions, nest height from the ground, egg laying rhythm, clutch size, length of the developmental periods, breeding phenology, and diversity of nesting substrate) of five passerine birds that inhabit sub-Antarctic ecosystems.

This article establishes the importance that the conservation of the southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina Linnaeus 1758) and its habitats has for tourists.

This article presents a new methodology and activity to foster an ecological understanding of biodiversity, as well as of biocultural conservation and ethics, which includes little, under-perceived, living-beings--such as bryophytes.

This article focuses on the international Field Environmental Philosophy (FEP) course that takes place annually at Omora Park, examining courses offered from 2015 - 2018.

This article presents the main attributes of Magellanic sub-Antarctic ecoregion, and of the Sub-Antarctic Biocultural Conservation Program coordinated by UMAG, the Institute of Ecology and Biodiversity and the University of North Texas, which integrates ecological and ethical dimensions in the analyses of socioecological processes at local, regional, national, and international scales.
