Significance New anti-drug policies are designed to encourage coca producers to switch to alternative crops and provide mechanisms for them to become landowners. Alternative development programmes in Colombia and elsewhere in the Andean region have so far failed to provide real incentives for substitution. Impacts A successful substitution programme will imply a large increase in public spending. Other criminal groups may move in to exploit spaces previously occupied by the FARC. Issues of land redistribution and titling, included in the FARC accords, will prove difficult (and expensive) to implement.

First Time

There is extensive research of the Ephemeroptera communities taxonomy and ecology in the Andean region of Colombia. However, other regions such as the Orinoquia have been insufficiently studied. From this region, in the Meta department, four species have been registered: Varipes lasiobrachius Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty, Coryphorus aquilus Peters, Miroculis (Atroari) colombiensis Savage & Peters and Tricorythopsis rondoniensis (Dias, Cruz & Ferreira). The main objective of this study is to report for the first time for this region the species: Mayobaetis ellenae (Mayo), Hydrosmylodon primanus (Eaton), Haplohyphes baritu Domínguez, Camelobaetidus edmundsi Dominique, Mathuriau & Thomas and Nanomis galera Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty.
