Habitat dynamics of flagship species for conservation prioritization in southern Europe. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Biodiversity loss is accelerating due to human actions, and decision‐making for conservation needs to be streamlined. Ex situ biodiversity modeling and monitoring based on satellite time‐series data could be an affordable and cost‐efficient tool for improving the prioritization of conservation areas.

Using comparative extinction risk analysis to prioritize the IUCN Red List reassessments of amphibians. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Assessing the extinction risk of species based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List (RL) is key to guiding conservation policies and reducing biodiversity loss. This process is resource demanding, however, and requires continuous updating, which becomes increasingly difficult as new species are added to the RL.

Geospatial data and web based tools for managing irrigation infrastructure expansion projects
World Water Policy, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 388-403, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Improving irrigation infrastructure is important for sustaining food security in developing countries like India. The irrigation potential of a system is estimated at the planning phase using conventional approaches. A mismatch in the irrigation potential planned to be created and the land suitable for cultivation can lead to a gap in the ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Inner phenomena, such as personal motivations for pursuing sustainability, may be critical levers for improving conservation outcomes. Most conservation research and policies, however, focus on external phenomena (e.g., ecological change or economic processes). We explored the factors shaping 9 conservation attitudes toward forest and wildlife

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract As agricultural land use and climate change continue to pose increasing threats to biodiversity in sub‐Saharan Africa, efforts are being made to identify areas where trade‐offs between future agricultural development and terrestrial biodiversity conservation are expected to be greatest. However, little research so far has focused on freshwater

Optimizing entrepreneurial development processes for smart specialization in the European Union
Papers in Regional Science, Volume 99, Issue 5, Page 1413-1457, October 2020., 2020 Abstract This paper demonstrates how the Regional Entrepreneurship and Development Index (REDI) can be used to optimize local entrepreneurial discovery processes, in a manner which can support smart specialization strategies (S3). While S3 industry prioritization is based on the identification of local strengths, regional improvement can be achieved by

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.Climate change is one of the top threats to biodiversity. However, many species risk assessment frameworks, including the globally authoritative International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, do not consistently and comprehensively incorporate loss of climatically suitable habitat into listing or threat categorization decisions.

Escribir en comunidad: Construcción de relaciones y responsabilidad en la producción de conocimiento
American Anthropologist, Volume 127, Issue 3, Page 447-465, September 2025.ABSTRACT As anthropology reckons with its past, present, and future, anthropologists increasingly seek to challenge inequities within the discipline and academia more broadly. Anthropology, regardless of subdiscipline, is a social endeavor. Yet research often remains an isolating (though not necessarily solitary) process, even within research teams and

Island restoration to rebuild seabird populations and amplify coral reef functioning
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.Abstract Mobile organisms like seabirds can provide important nutrient flows between ecosystems, but this connectivity has been interrupted by the degradation of island ecosystems. Island restoration (via invasive species eradications and the restoration of native vegetation) can reestablish seabird populations and their nutrient transfers between ...

Risk, Hazards &Crisis in Public Policy, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 441-467, December 2024.Abstract Using a securitization lens, this article explores the climate adaptation discourse and its impact on the making and implementation of adaptation strategies in Sweden. The main goal is to discern whether climate change is understood and addressed as a security issue within Swedish climate adaptation policy, examining its practical implications
