Tradeoffs and synergies between food security and forest cover in Brazilian drylands

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 34, Issue 17, Page 5343-5354, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Global food demand is expected to increase in the next decades, pushing agricultural expansion and deforestation. However, food production in agricultural lands is just one dimension of food security, to which forest goods and services also contribute.

Uneven geographies: ageing and population dynamics in Latvia

Regional Science Policy &Practice, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 893-908, May 2023., 2023
Abstract The twin phenomena of ageing populations and declining populations are profoundly transforming societies and economies in Europe. Driven by decreasing fertility rates and the continuing increased life expectancy, populations have not been ageing uniformly across time and space.

South to north investment linkages and decent work in Brazil

LABOUR, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 122-159, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Over the last 25 years, the BRICs asserted themselves as drivers of globalization. But what does their new‐found prominence mean for working conditions at home? Using a novel sub‐national database covering outward investment linkages and working conditions in Brazilian municipalities, this study tests whether a direct investment in Europe ...

Quantifying the conservation status and abundance trends of wildlife communities with detection–nondetection data

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Effective conservation requires understanding species’ abundance patterns and demographic rates across space and time. Ideally, such knowledge should be available for whole communities because variation in species’ dynamics can elucidate factors leading to biodiversity losses.

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.

Implementación de políticas de prevención y control de la obesidad infantil en Estados Unidos y Latinoamérica: lecciones para la investigación y la práctica transfronterizas

Obesity Reviews, Volume 22, Issue S5, Octubre 2021., 2021
Resumen Aunque se han hecho avances en el desarrollo y aplicación a gran escala de intervenciones eficaces contra la obesidad infantil, los retos siguen siendo importantes. Nuestro objetivo era comprender las causas del éxito de Estados Unidos y los países latinoamericanos en la implementación de políticas y programas (PYP) contra la obesidad e ...

Comparing two survey methods of measuring health‐related indicators: Lot Quality Assurance Sampling and Demographic Health Surveys

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 20, Issue 12, Page 1756-1770, December 2015., 2015
Abstract Objectives Two common methods used to measure indicators for health programme monitoring and evaluation are the demographic and health surveys (DHS) and lot quality assurance sampling (LQAS); each one has different strengths. We report on both methods when utilised in comparable situations.

Functional Diversity of Iberian Waterbird Communities From Natural Lakes and Man‐Made Reservoirs Shows Divergent Temporal Dynamics

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Artificial waterbodies are widely recognized as vital habitats for waterfowl conservation, particularly in the Mediterranean region, where natural lentic ecosystems have suffered extensive loss and degradation. Man‐made reservoirs represent the widespread and relatively deep artificial bodies of water and are often assumed to harbour poor

Migration Patterns of Epiphyllous Bryophyte Metapopulations in Amazonian Fragmented Landscape Inferred From Census and Genomic Data

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.
We examined the long‐term genetic consequences of habitat fragmentation on two epiphyllous bryophyte species in experimentally fragmented Amazonian forests. Using genotyping and demographic data, we found species‐specific responses and metapopulation dynamics in relation to their mating system.
