Changes in community composition and functional diversity of European bats under climate change. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Climate change is predicted to drive geographical range shifts that will result in changes in species diversity and functional composition and have potential repercussions for ecosystem functioning. However, the effect of these changes on species composition and functional diversity (FD) remains unclear, especially for mammals, specifically ...

ENphylo: A new method to model the distribution of extremely rare species
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 911-922, March 2023., 2023 Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are a useful mean to understand how environmental variation influences species geographical distribution. SDMs are implemented by several different algorithms. Unfortunately, these algorithms consistently lose accuracy exactly when they are needed the most, that is with rare species, originating the so‐called

The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 575-586, December 2022., 2022 Abstract When gold deposits were confirmed in a community watershed in 2005, water became a politically charged arena for anti‐mining activism. This article follows the outcomes of a 2014 Ecuadorian water law on conflicts over water provisioning. Arguments about water's material properties and social qualities were deployed by government, municipal ...

Journal of Regional Science, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 913-937, September 2022., 2022 Abstract This paper performs a meta‐regression analysis to derive the role of techniques, data and variable's definition on the effect of the labor‐market determinants on interregional migration. We use Spain as a case of study, a country with heterogeneous and even counterintuitive behavior of internal migration flows to its labor‐market drivers.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 347-361, June 2022., 2022 We estimated the spatial distribution of stand age and AGB (aboveground biomass) of young forest (< 20 years) in three types of tropical dry forest in the Yucatan peninsula using Landsat NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) time‐series from 2000 to 2020.

Evaluating institutional fit for the conservation of threatened species
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 1437-1450, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Recovery and conservation of threatened species require adequate institutional responses. We tested an approach to systematically identify and measure how an institutional framework acknowledges threats and required responses for the recovery of endangered species.
