Mammals with large home ranges, low reproductive rates and small body sizes are most vulnerable to roads: A meta‐analysis

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Road mitigation for mammals should ideally be informed by site‐level knowledge and generally involve prioritizing species with the combination of larger home ranges, lower reproductive rates and smaller body sizes. To protect these vulnerable mammals from roads, we should maintain low road densities and instal small‐mesh mitigation fencing along roads.

From Colonial Natures to Entangled Ecologies: Making Due and Relational Geographies of Indigenous Resurgence in the Chaco

Antipode, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper offers an alternative reading of decolonial geographies by examining how people make due in the context of colonial natures. Drawing on collaborative ethnographic research, we illustrate how everyday acts of reclaiming ancestral lands serve as practices of resistance that foment Enxet and Sanapaná resurgence in Paraguay's Chaco.

Measurement and Modeling Air Quality Impacts of Dust Emissions from Unpaved Roads in Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas

Geosciences, 2018
Dust emissions from unpaved roads are one of the main pollutants affecting air quality around the world. As part of initial air quality studies in Tuxtla Gutiérrez (TGZ), Chiapas, Mexico, urban aeolian emission events from unpaved roads and simple

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

Impacts of bat use of anthropogenic structures on bats and humans

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human‐induced landscape modifications and climate change are forcing wildlife into closer contact with humans as the availability of natural habitats decreases. Although the importance of anthropogenic structures for the conservation of species is widely recognized, negative narratives surrounding bats may impede conservation efforts in human ...

Enabling conditions for conservation on Indigenous and community lands

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite increasing evidence and general acceptance in global environmental policy of the significant role of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IP&LC) in biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation, an implementation gap remains between global policy and how conservation plays out on the ground.

Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Changing fire regimes have important implications for biodiversity and challenge traditional conservation approaches that rely on historical conditions as proxies for ecological integrity. This historical‐centric approach becomes increasingly tenuous under climate change, necessitating direct tests of environmental impacts on biodiversity.

Predictions of southern migration timing in coastal sharks under future ocean warming

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Projected redistribution of marine species due to ocean warming may undermine current conservation efforts. Yet, there have been few studies on how ocean warming may alter migration timing. Across 5 years of acoustic telemetry data (2018–2022), we determined environmental drivers of southward migration timing for 6 migratory shark species from

Graphene-Based Catalysts for Ozone Processes to Decontaminate Water

Molecules, 2019
The use of graphene-based materials as catalysts in both ozone and ozone/radiation processes is creating interest among researchers devoted to the study of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for the degradation of organic pollutants in water.
