A landscape‐scale framework to identify refugia from multiple stressors
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 1, February 2022., 2022 Abstract From a conservation perspective, quantifying potential refugial capacity has been predominantly focused on climate refugia, which is critical for maintaining the persistence of species and ecosystems. However, protection from other stressors, such as human‐induced changes in fire and hydrology, that cause habitat loss, degradation, and ...

Accelerating Just Energy Transitions in Brazil: Pathways for Social Development
Latin American Policy, Volume 17, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT This critical article analyzes energy poverty in Brazil from the theoretical perspective of distributive justice, proposing the implementation of a new social regulation called Contribution to Social Development. The goal is to support the process of a just energy transition leading to a broader debate on energy planning and social issues ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Exploring heat tolerance and acclimation capacity can provide an effective approach to evaluating species’ sensitivity to extremely high temperatures due to climate warming. Despite some work on amphibian and reptile thermophysiological adaptation, related questions remain. We reviewed the literature to provide a synthesis of worldwide data on

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 641-651, December 2025.Key Largo woodrats are a small and endangered island species, whose individuals tend to occur in family groups. Isolation from mainland populations, predation, and habitat fragmentation have caused genetic drift, leading to low overall diversity. Here, we found that a major category 4 hurricane promoted genetic diversity in the Key Largo woodrat ...

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 3, Page 1117-1128, August 2025.Summary Environmental changes and their effects are among the most pressing topics of today's ecological research. Shrublands, although widespread across the globe, remain understudied in this respect. We conducted a global meta‐analysis of 81 shrubland sites subjected to experimental warming, shifts in precipitation (e.g.

Securitization of local adaptation: Signs of riskification in a Dutch region
Risk, Hazards &Crisis in Public Policy, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 419-440, December 2024.Abstract Climate change is increasing the frequency of extreme weather events and sea level rise, causing scholars to argue that it has become a security issue and that extraordinary measures are being legitimized by its perceived threat, referred to as securitization.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 230-243, September 2024.Tropical secondary forest at early sucessional stage had higher diamter growth rate and mortality rate, however, these forests also are more risked to droughts and high temperatures. Rising temperatures and more frequent droughts may decrease the carbon sink capacity of tropical forest ecosystems. Abstract Tropical forests are major carbon sinks on the

Integrative Conservation, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 168-182, September 2024.Using long‐term field data, we examined the impact of severe droughts on the health, reproductive success, and behavior of the critically endangered Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi) in Madagascar's seasonally dry tropical forest. Despite reduced availability of high‐quality foods, sifaka exhibited stable body condition and reproductive success,

Collective effects of rising average temperatures and heat events on oviparous embryos
Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, August 2024.Abstract Survival of the immobile embryo in response to rising temperature is important to determine a species’ vulnerability to climate change. However, the collective effects of 2 key thermal characteristics associated with climate change (i.e., rising average temperature and acute heat events) on embryonic survival remain largely unexplored. We used
