Experimental validation of specialized questioning techniques in conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Conservation increasingly relies on social science tools to understand human behavior. Specialized questioning techniques (SQTs) are a suite of methods designed to reduce bias in social surveys and are widely used to collect data on sensitive topics, including compliance with conservation rules.

The bean method as a tool to measure sensitive behavior

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 722-732, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Conservationists need to measure human behavior to guide decisions and evaluate their impact. However, activities can be misreported and reporting accuracy may change following conservation interventions, making it hard to verify any apparent changes.

Data gaps and heterogeneity limit our understanding of human–wildlife interactions: A continental study of Andean bears

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1499-1519, May 2026.
Abstract The expansion and intensification of human activities have increased interactions between people and wildlife. Interactions involving bears and other large carnivores are complex and can lead to conflicts. Promoting positive coexistence requires managing information, which is not always available.

Using miniaturized laboratory equipment and DNA barcoding to improve conservation genetics training and identify illegally traded species

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

Coexisting with large carnivores based on the Volterra principle

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.
Abstract Coexistence with large carnivores represents one of the world's highest profile conservation challenges. Ecologists have identified ecological benefits derived from large carnivores (and large herbivores), yet livestock depredation, perceived competition for shared game, risks to pets and humans, and social conflicts often lead to demands for ...

Selective impacts of subsistence hunting on mammal communities in Manu National Park, Peru

Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 5, September 2024.
We analyzed change in species relative abundance and functional composition of mammal communities, including non‐hunted species, along a hunting pressure gradient and included potential confounding environmental and disturbance gradients (distances to rivers, lakes, settlements, and trails; NDVI at survey point).

Mitigación de daños provocados por fauna silvestre en cultivos agrícolas en un bosque montano de Bolivia

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2014
El daño causado por fauna silvestre en cultivos agrícolas es una de las causas principales de conflicto dentro y fuera de áreas protegidas. Para un adecuado manejo del conflicto se requieren evaluaciones del daño y de la aplicación de distintos métodos ...

Propiciando el encuentro: La estructuración de los paisajes de cacería en el contexto andino Propitiating the encounter: The structuration of hunting landscapes in the andean context

Intersecciones en Antropología, 2012
La cacería es una práctica social relevante para la reproducción social. Esta actividad sustentada en la apropiación de animales silvestres se basa en la articulación de una diversidad de aspectos, uno de los cuales es el paisaje.
