Machine and deep learning approaches to understand and predict habitat suitability for seabird breeding. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol, 2023
Understanding seabird breeding habitat selection and suitability is often complex due to the integration of land and sea features across multiple spatial scales. A complementarity approach between convolutional neural network (CNN) and random forest (RF) models was applied to predict and explain the selection pattern of tropical larids breeding ...

Patterns of reef fish taxonomic and functional diversity in the Eastern Tropical Pacific

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2023, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
A core challenge in ecology is identifying the factors that determine species distribution and functional diversity of species assemblages. Reef fish are the most diverse group of vertebrates, form taxonomically rich and functionally diverse communities and represent a key source of food for humans.

Expert perspectives on global biodiversity loss and its drivers and impacts on people

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 94-103, March 2023., 2023
Despite substantial progress in understanding global biodiversity loss, major taxonomic and geographic knowledge gaps remain. Decision makers often rely on expert judgement to fill knowledge gaps, but are rarely able to engage with sufficiently large and diverse groups of specialists.

All or nothing: Switch to high current reproductive investment under risk of starvation in male kelp crab

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 7, Page 3383-3391, April 2020., 2020
In this study, we demonstrate plasticity in recovery of seminal reserves in response to distinct environmental conditions in the kelp crab Taliepus dentatus. We show that the recovery index at 16°C within 30 days was twice as high in starved compared with fed crabs.

Breeding records of 325 bird species from Peru over 21 years based on citizen science data

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 789-799, September 2024.
In this data paper, we report 1180 breeding records corresponding to 325 bird species for the period 2000–2021, through an in‐depth review of photo or video records from Peru, sourced from Macaulay Library and iNaturalist platforms. We determined the geographical distribution of the breeding records, described patterns of activity and nesting behavior (

Taming the terminological tempest in invasion science

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 4, Page 1357-1390, August 2024.
ABSTRACT Standardised terminology in science is important for clarity of interpretation and communication. In invasion science – a dynamic and rapidly evolving discipline – the proliferation of technical terminology has lacked a standardised framework for its development.

Conservation and health policy implications linked to the human consumption of sea turtles in northwestern Mexico 墨西哥西北部人类食用海龟一事对动物保护和健康政策的启示 Implicaciones para las políticas de conservación y salud vinculadas al consumo humano de tortugas marinas en el noroeste de México

open access: yesWorld Medical &Health Policy, Volume 16, Issue 1, Page 57-69, March 2024.
Abstract Human consumption of sea turtles remains prevalent throughout Mexico even though laws restricting trade and take of threatened and endangered species have been in place for several decades. The illegal consumption of sea turtles represents a risk to animal conservation, and the pathogens in the meat can adversely affect human health.
