Unlocking Tropical Forest Complexity: How Tree Assemblages in Secondary Forests Boost Biodiversity Conservation. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Secondary forests are crucial for achieving COP15/16 conservation goals. An operational national approach was developed to identify and characterise forest ecosystems based on the dominant tree species in the canopy, serving as indicators for ecosystem extent and condition.

Use of community characteristics to predict hunting and game harvests in western Amazonian forests. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Wild game harvesting in Amazonia provides rural residents with protein and cash income but can threaten wildlife populations and forest ecosystem functions. As yet, the socioeconomic and environmental drivers that shape hunter livelihoods remain poorly understood.

Exploring local perceptions and drivers of engagement in biodiversity monitoring among participants in payments for ecosystem services schemes in southeastern Mexico. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Payments for ecosystem services (PES) are widely applied incentive‐based instruments with diverse objectives that increasingly include biodiversity conservation. Yet, there is a gap in understanding of how to best assess and monitor programs’ biodiversity outcomes.

Effects of large mammal exclusion on seedling communities depend on plant species traits and landscape protection in human‐modified Costa Rican forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 12, Page 2561-2572, December 2023., 2023
Insight into the interactions between LTH‐mammals and seedling communities in forest regeneration can be instrumental in planning effective restoration efforts. We highlight the importance of landscape protection in seedling survival and the role of LTH‐mammals in promoting seedling diversity in mature forests but also in secondary successional forests.

Low‐coverage whole genome sequencing for highly accurate population assignment: Mapping migratory connectivity in the American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 20, Page 5528-5540, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Understanding the geographic linkages among populations across the annual cycle is an essential component for understanding the ecology and evolution of migratory species and for facilitating their effective conservation. While genetic markers have been widely applied to describe migratory connections, the rapid development of new sequencing ...

Artificial light at night decreases the pupillary light response of dark‐adapted toads to bright light

Integrative Zoology, Volume 18, Issue 5, Page 867-875, September 2023., 2023
Dark‐ladapted toads dilate their pupil when suddenly exposed to light. Dilatation was weaker in individuals that have been exposed for 12 nights to artificial light, potentially impairing their ability to perform visual tasks. Abstract Artificial light at night (ALAN) is expanding worldwide. Many physiological effects have been reported in animals, but

Diversidad de orquídeas en la isla de Hainan en China: distribución y conservación

Collectanea Botanica, 2015
Las Orchidaceae se distribuyen ampliamente en muchos ecosistemas terrestres con excepción de las zonas polares y desérticas, y constituyen una suerte de «buque insignia» de la conservación biológica. Siendo como es la mayor isla tropical de China, Hainan
