Los intereses emergentes sobre la alta montaña y la vida campesina: tensiones y contradicciones de la delimitación de páramos en Colombia

open access: yesCuadernos de Geografía: Revista Colombiana de Geografía, 2019
Las políticas ambientales que se implementan en zonas habitadas por campesinos han configurado una tensión en su relación con el Estado, que en lugar de resolverse se extiende a nuevos territorios.

Hurricane‐induced changes in mayfly assemblage structure, production and emergence in a tropical island stream Cambios inducidos por los huracanes en la estructura, producción, y emergencia del ensamblaje de Ephemeroptera de una quebrada de isla tropical

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 201-213, February 2025.
Hurricanes create major disturbances to stream ecosystems by producing large floods and removing riparian vegetation. Understanding their impacts is a priority, as hurricane intensity will increase with global climate change. Hurricane disturbance shifts mayfly assemblages from dominance by Leptophlebiidae before to Baetidae after.

Vertebrate diversity and biomass along a recovery gradient in a lowland tropical forest

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
Deforestation of tropical forests has resulted in large areas of secondary forests with the potential for biodiversity to re‐establish to levels usually found in old‐growth forests. This study shows that diversity and biomass of mammals and birds in regenerating forests can recover to old‐growth levels within a relatively short time.

La sombra alargada del patrón: Gamonalismo y hábitos hacendatarios en Chimborazo tras la reforma agraria

open access: yesThe Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 352-363, December 2024.
Abstract This paper explores selective aspects of the historical processes of organization of the kichwa peasantry in the Andes of Ecuador. Based on the analysis of two representative cases of confrontation between peasants and landowners over access to land in the province of Chimborazo, it discusses the relevance of the concept of “gamonalismo” as ...

Avian phylogenetic and functional diversity are better conserved by land‐sparing than land‐sharing farming in lowland tropical forests

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 10, Page 2497-2509, October 2024.
To minimise the loss of avian phylogenetic diversity and functional traits from farming in the Amazon, it is imperative to protect large blocks of undisturbed and regenerating forests. The intensification required within existing farmlands to make space for spared lands while meeting agricultural demand needs to be sustainable, avoiding long‐term ...

A multiple trait assessment provides insights into the short‐time viability of a newly founded population in an endangered island passerine

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 507-521, August 2024.
We evaluated the viability of a newly founded population of the endangered Gran Canaria blue chaffinch (Fringilla polatzeki). We performed a multiple trait assessment of genetic, body condition and breeding success data. Our findings suggest that the translocation program has been successful and provide insights on the effectiveness of the actions ...

Apex predators can structure ecosystems through trophic cascades: Linking the frugivorous behaviour and seed dispersal patterns of mesocarnivores

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 1407-1419, June 2024.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Current global change scenarios demand knowledge on how anthropogenic impacts affect ecosystem functioning through changes in food web structure. Frugivorous mesocarnivores are a key link in trophic cascades because, while their abundance and behaviour are usually ...
