Region‐wide retreats from lower elevations of range‐restricted birds across the Northern Andes
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Local studies show upslope shifts in the distribution of tropical birds in response to warming temperatures. Unanswered is whether these upward shifts occur regionally across many species. We considered a nearly 2000‐km length of the Northern Andes, where deforestation, temperature, and extreme weather events have increased during the past ...

A field experiment characterizing variable detection rates during plant surveys
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 3, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Surveys aimed at finding threatened and invasive species can be challenging due to individual rarity and low and variable individual detection rates. Detection rate in plant surveys typically varies due to differences among observers, among the individual plants being surveyed (targets), and across background environments.

Using expert knowledge to support Endangered Species Act decision‐making for data‐deficient species
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 1627-1638, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Many questions relevant to conservation decision‐making are characterized by extreme uncertainty due to lack of empirical data and complexity of the underlying ecologic processes, leading to a rapid increase in the use of structured protocols to elicit expert knowledge.

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 32, Issue 4, Page 331-e92, August 2021., 2021 Background MicroRNAs (miRNA) are short, single‐stranded RNA molecules that regulate gene expression in a post‐transcriptional manner. Their expression is proposed to be tissue‐specific and alterations in miRNA expression have been detected in many diseases. Objective To compare miRNA expression in the skin of healthy Labrador and golden retrievers, and

Trends in seabird breeding populations across the Great Barrier Reef
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 846-858, June 2021., 2021 Abstract The Great Barrier Reef is an iconic ecosystem, known globally for its rich marine biodiversity that includes many thousands of tropical breeding seabirds. Despite indications of localized declines in some seabird species from as early as the mid‐1990s, trends in seabird populations across the reef have never been quantified.

Redistributive effects of fiscal policies in Mexico: Corrections for top income measurement problems
Latin American Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, Page 148-180, May 2021., 2021 Abstract This article assesses the redistributive effects of fiscal instruments in Mexico in 2010–2014, correcting for top‐income measurement problems. Two correction methods are applied—survey‐sample reweighting for households' nonresponse probability and replacing of top incomes using smooth Pareto distributions—to reestimate the effects of pensions,
