Reduced Offspring Viability Is Associated With Long-Term Stability of a Narrow Avian Hybrid Zone. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated hybrid viability in a tropical, avian hybrid zone governed by strong selection on male secondary sexual traits between the white‐collared manakin (Manacus candei) and golden‐collared manakin (M. vitellinus). We assessed putative hybrid fitness by investigating adult survival and hatching success along with a prospective selective ...

Functional traits of young seedlings predict trade‐offs in seedling performance in three neotropical forests

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 12, Page 2568-2582, December 2023., 2023
With strikingly consistent patterns across three tropical forests, the authors find strong evidence for the promise of functional traits to provide mechanistic links between seedling form and demographic performance. Abstract Understanding the mechanisms that promote the coexistence of hundreds of species over small areas in tropical forest remains a ...

Fitness consequences and ancestry loss in the Apennine brown bear after a simulated genetic rescue intervention

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Reduction in population size, with its predicted effects on population fitness, is the most alarming anthropogenic impact on endangered species. By introducing compatible individuals, genetic rescue (GR) is a promising but debated approach for reducing the genetic load unmasked by inbreeding and for restoring the fitness of declining ...

Berries and bullets: influence of food and mortality risk on grizzly bears in British Columbia Bayas y balas: influencia de la alimentación y el riesgo de mortalidad en los osos grizzly en la Columbia Británica Des baies et des balles: influence de l'alimentation et risques de mortalité chez les ours grizzlys de la Colombie‐Britannique

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 213, Issue 1, November 2023., 2023
We developed a spatialized surface for the primary food of grizzly bears in southeast British Columbia. After using this huckleberry patch layer to model habitat selection, fitness, and density, in a bottom‐up top‐down paradigm, we found that huckleberry patches near forestry roads contribute very little to fitness and density.

Genetic diversity and IUCN Red List status

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List is an important and widely used tool for conservation assessment. The IUCN uses information about a species’ range, population size, habitat quality and fragmentation levels, and trends in abundance to assess extinction risk.

Replicate contact zones suggest a limited role of plumage in reproductive isolation among subspecies of the variable seedeater (Sporophila corvina)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 13, Page 3586-3604, July 2023., 2023
Abstract After establishing secondary contact, recently diverged populations may remain reproductively isolated or may hybridize to a varying extent depending on factors such as hybrid fitness and the strength of assortative mating. Here, we used genomic and phenotypic data from three independent contact zones between subspecies of the variable ...

Bibliometric investigation of the integration of animal personality in conservation contexts

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Consistent individual differences in behavior, commonly termed animal personality, are a widespread phenomenon across taxa that have important consequences for fitness, natural selection, and trophic interactions. Animal personality research may prove useful in several conservation contexts, but which contexts remains to be determined.

Evaluation of the NANDA International, Inc. diagnostic classification in Spain: Development and validation of the EVALUAN‐I tool

International Journal of Nursing Knowledge, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 21-34, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Purpose To develop and validate a tool to evaluate the NANDA International, Inc. diagnostic classification. Methods The tool, EVALUAN‐I, was validated in a non‐probabilistic sample (N = 460) on Spanish Registered Nurses (September–December 2019) in two phases.

«Iustitia et ius naturale» en «De iure belli ac pacis»

Pensamiento. Revista de Investigación e Información Filosófica, 2021
En este artículo se muestra cómo, según Hugo Grocio, el derecho natural (ius naturale), también en su dimensión subjetiva, depende de una relación primaria con la justicia entendida en un sentido moral amplio.
