Reptile responses to fire across the western Mediterranean Basin. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Effects of anthropogenic activities, including climate change, are modifying fire regimes, and the dynamic nature of these modifications requires identification of general patterns of organisms’ responses to fire. This is a challenging task because of the high complexity of factors involved (including climate, geography, land use, and species ...

Historical ecology and current abundance of the translocated Chilla or Grey fox Lycalopex griseus on the large Tierra del Fuego Island shared by Argentina and Chile

Austral Ecology, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 481-497, May 2023., 2023
In 1951, 24 animals of both sexes of Chilla or Grey fox from continental Magallanes region, Chile were released on Tierra del Fuego Island, to control a European rabbit irruption detrimental to sheep ranching. No attention has been paid to the temporal course of that introduction, so here we provide a historical account of the presence of those foxes ...

Effects of different management strategies on long‐term trends of Australian threatened and near‐threatened mammals

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Monitoring is critical to assess management effectiveness, but broadscale systematic assessments of monitoring to evaluate and improve recovery efforts are lacking. We compiled 1808 time series from 71 threatened and near‐threatened terrestrial and volant mammal species and subspecies in Australia (48% of all threatened mammal taxa) to compare

How green are our laws? Presenting a normative coherence for sustainable development methodology

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 90-109, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Policy coherence for sustainable development (PCSD) has become a pillar of supranational sustainable development agendas, promoting “whole of government approaches.” The concept of normative coherence for sustainable development (NCSD) has emerged as a new stage of policy coherence for sustainable development analysis.

Climate and socioeconomic drivers of biomass burning and carbon emissions from fires in tropical dry forests: A Pantropical analysis

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 1062-1079, February 2023., 2023
About 20% of the Pantropical tropical dry forest biomass is affected by fires of which small fires explain most of it. The spatial distribution of small fires is related to socioeconomic and biophysical drivers, while climatic conditions drive large and intense fires.

Defensa comunitaria y culturas del terror: Crimen organizado y violencia de Estado en comunidades originarias de Guerrero, México

The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 564-574, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Rich in raw materials, the state of Guerrero, Mexico, is one of the main enclaves of opium production, mineral extraction, and a focus for the multiplication of armed actors in Latin America, which, together with the overlapping of counterinsurgent violence in the past, post‐colonial violence and the militarization of the policies of the so ...

Estimating canopy fuel load with hemispherical photographs: A rapid method for opportunistic fuel documentation with smartphones

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 11, Page 2101-2108, November 2021., 2021
Abstract Canopy fuel load (CFL) affects wildfire intensity and is a critical input for fire behaviour models; however, measuring CFL in the field is time‐consuming and costly. Until recently, hemispherical photographs have been unable to adequately describe canopy metrics in non‐diffuse light conditions.
