Habitat dynamics of flagship species for conservation prioritization in southern Europe. [PDF]

open access: yesConserv Biol
Abstract 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.

Geospatial data and web based tools for managing irrigation infrastructure expansion projects

open access: yesWorld 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 ...

Evaluating the influence of nature connection and values on conservation attitudes at a tropical deforestation frontier

open access: yesConservation 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

Prioritizing conservation in sub‐Saharan African lakes based on freshwater biodiversity and algal bloom metrics

open access: yesConservation 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

Using comparative extinction risk analysis to prioritize the IUCN Red List reassessments of amphibians. [PDF]

open access: yesConserv Biol
Abstract 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.

Optimizing entrepreneurial development processes for smart specialization in the European Union

open access: yesPapers 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

Prioritizing bat roosts for conservation with a global multicriteria bat roost priority index based on community science

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Prioritization in conservation is crucial for the development of efficient and effective decision‐making policies. For many decades, the importance of some species and their habitats has been assessed and applied in conservation legislation, but bats and their diurnal roosts have ofbeen overlooked.

Adapting Species Risk Assessments to a Changing Climate: The Underestimated Vulnerability of Foundational Trees

open access: yesGlobal 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

open access: yesAmerican 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
