Exchange rates and macroeconomic fundamentals: Evidence of instabilities from time‐varying factor loadings

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 857-877, September/October 2023., 2023
Summary We examine the relationship between exchange rates and macroeconomic fundamentals using a two‐step maximum likelihood estimator through which we compute time‐varying factor loadings. Factors are obtained as principal components, extracted from vintage macro‐datasets that combine FRED‐MD and OECD databases. Using 14 currencies over 1990–2021, we

A step to disentangle diversity patterns in Uruguayan grasslands: Climatic seasonality, novel land‐uses, and landscape context drive diversity of ground flora

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 5, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023
We analyzed overlaying regional patterns of species diversity in Uruguayan grasslands driven by climate seasonality and land‐use shaping taxonomic richness at local scale. Landscape configuration affects diversity patterns of native ground flora, which is mainly sustained by the “old growth grassland” species pool.

Elizabethan Catholic Intelligencers, Spain and the Armada of 1597

open access: yesHistory, Volume 108, Issue 381, Page 244-261, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Recent research on late Reformation English/British Catholics’ engagement in contemporary politics, has, for the most part, focused on regicidal schemes or on Catholic polemical writings. Espionage activities by Catholics in England, however, have been often overlooked.

The counteracting effects of anthropogenic speciation and extinction on mammal species richness and phylogenetic diversity

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1810-1823, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Human activities are causing massive increases in extinction rates but might also lead to drastic increases in speciation rates; for example, after human‐mediated spread of species to otherwise unreachable landmasses. The long‐term net anthropogenic effects on biodiversity therefore remain uncertain.

Trust your guts? The effect of gut section on diet composition and impact of Mus musculus on islands using metabarcoding

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
In this article, we assessed the differences in diet estimates and potential ecological and economic impact measurements according to the section of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach, small and large intestine) analysed. We aimed to test which section(s) provided a better diet representation and putative impact of a common inland invader.

Geo‐hydromorphological assessment of Europe's southernmost blanket bogs

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 45, Issue 12, Page 2747-2760, 30 September 2020., 2020
This research identifies and provides geomorphological description, mesotope classification and carbon stored of 10 currently unrecognized areas of peatlands in northern Spain, extending the southernmost limit of blanket bogs in Europe. However, high anthropogenic pressures are affecting these blanket bogs and, without protection, these long‐term ...

Limited biomass recovery from gold mining in Amazonian forests

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 57, Issue 9, Page 1730-1740, September 2020., 2020
To achieve large‐scale restoration targets, Guyana and other Amazonian countries will be challenged to remediate previously mined lands. The recovery process is highly dependent on nitrogen availability rather than mercury contamination, affecting woody biomass regrowth.

Cryptic Diversity in the Neotropical Gecko Genus Phyllopezus Peters, 1878 (Reptilia: Squamata: Phyllodactylidae): A New Species from Paraguay

open access: yesInternational Journal of Zoology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
The gecko genus Phyllopezus is distributed mainly along South America’s “Dry Diagonal” (Caatinga, Cerrado, and Chaco). The genus has been the subject of recent taxonomic analyses and includes four described species and seven candidate species referred to here as Phyllopezus pollicaris sensu lato.

Mapping the density of giant trees in the Amazon

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 152-168, January 2026.
Summary Tall trees (height ≥ 60 m) are keystone elements of tropical forests, strongly influencing biodiversity, carbon storage, and ecosystem resilience. Yet, their density and spatial distribution remain poorly quantified, especially in remote Amazonian regions, limiting our understanding of their ecological roles and contribution to forest–climate ...

Contested values of grogue in Cabo Verde

open access: yesEconomic Anthropology, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 221-234, June 2024.
Abstract This article explores grogue, a sugarcane‐based distilled spirit of Cabo Verde, and its multifaceted and contested valuations in culture, livelihoods, and well‐being. Despite Cabo Verde's challenging climate, sugarcane agriculture remains significant primarily due to the importance placed on the local production of grogue.
