Risks of concealing environmental degradation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current practice seeks to conceal the visual impact of land‐use change (i.e., development). Six percent of development impact assessments in Australia and 14% of the World Bank's assessments recommend visual impact mitigation. This mitigation results in, for example, vegetated buffer strips alongside cleared agricultural areas and earthen ...

¿Puede ser científico el Conocimiento del Conocimiento?

Paideia Surcolombiana, 2008
En este documento se presenta un panorama breve de las tesis (y por supuesto de los autores) de la filosofía de la ciencia que sirvieron de trampolín para el surgimiento de la revolución cognitiva en la década de los 50. Y es a partir de esta fecha que surge un nuevo paradigma en la ciencia que no ha dejado de reelaborarse: la ciencia cognitiva.

What climate adaptation can learn from evolutionary adaptation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Evolutionary and climate adaptation both describe how complex systems respond to environmental change, either via natural selection or deliberate human choices. Although adaptation in both contexts is expected to produce favorable outcomes, it can also result in maladaptation—ineffective, unintended, or harmful outcomes. As an emerging area of

Extreme site fidelity in long‐distance migratory shorebirds in Australia and potential implications for conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Site fidelity is the tendency for animals to repeatedly return to the same locations, either within or between years. Site fidelity enables animals to utilize knowledge of previously visited locations, including assessments of seasonal variations in health and mortality risks (e.g., predation), resource availability, and social benefits such ...

Evaluating a structured expert elicitation approach for adaptive conservation management based on lessons from five years in practice

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Adaptive management of threatened species relies on having ex ante estimates of species’ responses to different interventions. Structured expert elicitation is often used to generate these estimates, but comparisons of these expert‐predicted outcomes with observed results are rare.
