Neutral‐based processes overrule niche‐based processes in shaping tropical montane orchid communities across spatial scales

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 8, Page 1614-1628, August 2023., 2023
High compositional turnover, even across habitats with the highest degree of human intervention, suggests that both forest‐dwelling and open‐habitat species do not easily disperse across habitats. Species dispersal is the major force of orchid community turnover and might be strongly dependent upon macroevolutionary processes and species life‐history ...

The seasonally dry tropical forest species Cavanillesia chicamochae has a middle Quaternary origin

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 91-99, January 2022., 2022
We use DNA sequence data to understand the evolutionary history of the genus Cavanillesia (Malvaceae), with particular emphasis on C. chicamochae, an emblematic succulent‐trunked tree endemic to seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs) of the Chicamocha Canyon of Colombia, South America.

‘BIG DATA’ AND ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT'S APPROACH TO SCIENCE

German Life and Letters, Volume 74, Issue 3, Page 394-415, July 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT This article departs from the hypothesis that Alexander von Humboldt used ‘Big Data’ in order to bring new scientific evidence into the open. His method of measuring and combining temperature, humidity, altitude and magnetism in a geographical environment must be regarded as innovative, indeed, as the foundation of modern science.

Contrasting trends in biodiversity of birds and trees during succession following cacao agroforest abandonment

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 6, Page 1248-1260, June 2021., 2021
Our research highlights the value of actively cultivated cacao agroforests and secondary forest alongside primary forests as reservoirs of biodiversity. By supporting both biodiversity and livelihoods, traditionally grown shade‐cacao agroforests fall within a people and nature framework.

Biodiversity‐driven spatial conservation planning to delineate temporally stable regions

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract The accelerating loss of biodiversity underscores the critical need for effective conservation strategies, particularly in the face of climate change and anthropogenic pressures. We devised a conservation planning framework that adopts a temporal stacking approach to species distribution models and landscape connectivity analyses. These models

Amphibians' Expansion to Record Elevations Influences Chytrid (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) Infection Dynamics

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Peruvian frogs underwent a climate‐driven range expansion into deglaciating mountains, exposing themselves and their fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) to challenging new thermal environments. Bd has dispersed extensively in these new habitats, and elevation may mediate the apparent sublethal impacts of infection for frogs.

Anthropological, Pathological, and Historical Analyses of a Mummified Cranium From Bolivia Hosted in the Museum of Cantonal Archaeology and History of Lausanne, Switzerland

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 365-374, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT The past decade has seen a worldwide tendency to re‐examine human remains found in old museum collections. These studies look at the provenance of the remains, the way they ended up in specific collections, the context from which they are likely issued, and all the parameters implicated in their current presence in museum custody.
