First national assessment of wildlife mortality in Ecuador: An effort from citizens and academia to collect roadkill data at country scale. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 The first national assessment of wildlife mortality caused by road traffic in Ecuador. A comprehensive roadkill dataset with more than 5000 roadkill records in Ecuador that includes threatened and poorly known species. A joint effort of citizens and academia to collect roadkill data at a country scale.

A Validated UPLC-MS/MS Method for Monitoring Temozolomide and Perillyl Alcohol Metabolites in Biological Matrices: Insights From a Preclinical Pharmacokinetic Study. [PDF]
Biomed ChromatogrABSTRACT Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is among the most aggressive brain tumors, largely due to the restrictive blood–brain barrier (BBB) and limited drug bioavailability. Temozolomide (TMZ), an alkylating agent, and perillyl alcohol (POH), a monoterpene with antitumor properties, have shown promise in GBM therapy. This study developed and validated a

Animal Conservation, Volume 26, Issue 2, Page 264-275, April 2023., 2023 We demonstrate on a short‐lived, endangered raptor species, the Lesser kestrel, that additional mortality due to windfarms can have a negative impact on population growth rate. Although the impact is currently moderate, the forecasted decrease in immigration rate, and increase in the number of windfarms at a wider scale, may threaten the recovery of ...

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 120, Issue 3, Page 351-374, November 2022., 2022 Abstract This paper presents a comparative analysis of two Spanish constructions that are usually characterised as passive, namely the periphrastic or attributive passive – formed with the verb ser ‘be’ plus a participle – and the reflexive passive – formed with third‐person reflexive clitic se.

Short‐distance nocturnal migration in an island endemic bustard
Ibis, Volume 164, Issue 4, Page 1145-1159, October 2022., 2022 Migratory birds typically fly long distances in response to large‐scale seasonal climate variation. However, most migratory species are partial migrants, and some fly only short distances, for example to take advantage of suitable feeding conditions during the non‐breeding season.

Spatial variation in bicycling risk based on crowdsourced safety data
Canadian Geographer / Le géographe canadien, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 556-568, Autumn / automne 2022., 2022 Bicycling‐related injury data are difficult to obtain from official reports, which capture only about 20% of crashes and often lack coordinates, injury outcomes, and narratives needed for understanding where and why incidents occurred. Crowdsourced data on bicycling safety provides new opportunities for the study of bicycling injury and risk.

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1756-1783, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 8, Page 2142-2153, August 2022., 2022 This study provides empirical evidence that wind turbines close to optimal habitats such as hedgerows strongly repel bats, while wind turbines located farther away in open areas could attract them. Increased risks of collisions and habitat losses near edges strengthen the importance of keeping wind turbines at a sufficient distance from woody edges (e ...

A stochastic model for estimating sustainable limits to wildlife mortality in a changing world
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Human‐caused mortality of wildlife is a pervasive threat to biodiversity. Assessing the population‐level impact of fisheries bycatch and other human‐caused mortality of wildlife has typically relied upon deterministic methods. However, population declines are often accelerated by stochastic factors that are not accounted for in such ...

Near‐term ecological forecasting for dynamic aeroconservation of migratory birds
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 1777-1786, December 2021., 2021 Abstract Near‐term ecological forecasting has the potential to mitigate negative impacts of human modifications on wildlife by directing efficient action through relevant and timely predictions. We used the U.S. avian migration system to highlight ecological forecasting applications for aeroconservation.
