Ecological and economic implications of alternative metrics in biodiversity offset markets. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Policy tools are needed that allow reconciliation of human development pressures with conservation priorities. Biodiversity offsetting can be used to compensate for ecological losses caused by development activities. Landowners can choose to undertake conservation actions, including habitat restoration, to generate biodiversity offsets ...

A field experiment characterizing variable detection rates during plant surveys. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Surveys aimed at finding threatened and invasive species can be challenging due to individual rarity and low and variable individual detection rates. Detection rate in plant surveys typically varies due to differences among observers, among the individual plants being surveyed (targets), and across background environments.

Rewilding in the face of climate change. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2021 Abstract Expansion of the global protected‐area network has been proposed as a strategy to address threats from accelerating climate change and species extinction. A key step in increasing the effectiveness of such expansion is understanding how novel threats to biodiversity from climate change alter concepts such as rewilding, which have underpinned ...

Landscape-scale predictions of future grassland conversion to cropland or development. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Grassland conservation planning often focuses on high‐risk landscapes, but many grassland conversion models are not designed to optimize conservation planning because they lack multidimensional risk assessments and are misaligned with ecological and conservation delivery scales.

Insights from experiences comanaging woody invasive alien plants in Argentina
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 4, Issue 4, October–December 2023., 2023 The complexities of invasive alien species (IAS) management call for a close collaboration among stakeholders to comanage effective solutions. Based on a SWOT analysis, we identified personal motivations as the main force that helps to overcome barriers to to IAS comanagement in Argentina. We recommend the development of spaces to share experiences and

Obstruction of biodiversity conservation by minimum patch size criteria
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Minimum patch size criteria for habitat protection reflect the conservation principle that a single large (SL) patch of habitat has higher biodiversity than several small (SS) patches of the same total area (SL > SS). Nonetheless, this principle is often incorrect, and biodiversity conservation requires placing more emphasis on protection of ...

The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 185-192, September 2023., 2023 Abstract The introduction first gives insights into the state of the art of sound “repatriation” concerning the way historical and current recordings of verbal arts, music, and dance are brought back into circulation in originating communities. Sound restitution also seeks to level the epistemological divide resulting from conventional archiving.

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Larval dispersal is an important component of marine reserve networks. Two conceptually different approaches to incorporate dispersal connectivity into spatial planning of these networks exist, and it is an open question as to when either is most appropriate.

People and Nature, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 445-461, April 2022., 2022 Abstract Envisioning processes enable protected area managers to chart a course for future management to reach desired goals, but unexpected changes that could affect future visions are not usually considered. The global COVID‐19 pandemic provided an opportunity to explore changes in stakeholder visions, the values that underpin the visions, and their ...

Obesity Reviews, Volume 22, Issue S5, Octubre 2021., 2021 Resumen Prevenir la obesidad entre los jóvenes latinos que viven en Estados Unidos y en países latinoamericanos requiere reconocer la especificidad de los contextos y las interacciones entre actividad física (AF) y entorno construido (EC). El objetivo de este artículo es avanzar en la agenda de investigación sobre el EC y la AF con el fin de prevenir ...
