Shedding light on trophic interactions: A field experiment on the effect of human population between latitudes on herbivory and predation patterns

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023
This study tests how human pressure affects trophic interactions at different latitudes, being the first to demonstrate experimentally the opposite effects of human presence on trophic interactions between latitudes. Abstract Interactions between species within an ecosystem (e.g.

Amazonian Odonata Trait Bank

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
We extracted AMO‐TB trait bank on Odonata's behavior, habit/habitat (larvae and adults), thermoregulation, and geographic distribution, from 419 literature sources. Moreover, we measured 22 morphological traits from ~2.500 adults and categorized the species distribution based on approximately 40.000 geographic records for the Americas.

Infection intensity shapes specialization and beta diversity of haemosporidian–bird networks across elevations

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Host–parasite distribution and interactions depend on geography, evolutionary associations, species composition, and their response to environmental variables. In this sense, host specificity as a key parasite's life history trait may determine parasite community composition but can be difficult to identify in nature.

Drivers of flea abundance in wild rodents across local and regional scales in the Chihuahuan Desert, northwestern Mexico

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022
Abstract The broad distribution of macroparasites and their thriving populations are matters of health and economic concern. Macroparasites cause damage both directly through their feeding habits, which impact host fitness, and indirectly through the transmission of various infectious diseases of relevance to human and domestic animal health and ...

Drivers of canine distemper virus exposure in dogs at a wildlife interface in Janos, Mexico

open access: yesVeterinary Record Open, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2021., 2021
Abstract Background Human population expansion has increased the contact between domestic animals and wildlife, thereby increasing the transmission of infectious diseases including canine distemper virus (CDV). Here, we investigated the risk factors associated with CDV exposure in domestic and wild carnivores from the Janos Biosphere Reserve (JBR ...

Inferring within‐flock transmission dynamics of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N8 virus in France, 2020

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 3151-3155, November 2021., 2021
Abstract Following the emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N8) in France in early December 2020, we used duck mortality data from the index farm to investigate within‐flock transmission dynamics. A stochastic epidemic model was fitted to the daily mortality data and model parameters were estimated using an approximate Bayesian computation

Reliability of animal counts and implications for the interpretation of trends

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 2249-2260, March 2021., 2021
Switching observers impacts wildlife population trend estimates. Are precise thresholds pertinent in conservation if these are out of reach? Abstract Population time series analysis is an integral part of conservation biology in the current context of global changes. To quantify changes in population size, wildlife counts only provide estimates because

Evaluating potential effects of solar power facilities on wildlife from an animal behavior perspective

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 3, Issue 2, February 2021., 2021
Abstract Solar power is a renewable energy source with great potential to help meet increasing global energy demands and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. However, research is scarce on how solar facilities affect wildlife. With input from professionals in ecology, conservation, and energy, we conducted a research‐prioritization process and ...
