Communities of endophytic fungi in a Puerto Rican rainforest vary along a gradient of disturbance due to Hurricane Maria. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Even more than a year after the catastrophic passage of Hurricane Maria, communities of endophytic symbionts in a Puerto Rican rainforest bear a signature of forest disturbance. Abstract Increases in the frequency and intensity of hurricanes influence the structure, function, and resilience of Caribbean forests.

Skeletal age during hurricane impacts fluctuating asymmetry in Cayo Santiago rhesus macaques. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), or random deviations from symmetry, can be used as a proxy for developmental instability, and anthropogenic and natural disruptions have been associated with increased levels of FA. In this study, we investigate the effect of demographic variables (age, sex, and decade of birth) and hurricane experience on FA in a model ...

How do you solve a problem like Maria? The politics of disaster response in Puerto Rico, Florida and Texas. [PDF]
World Med Health Policy, 2022 Abstract COVID‐19 is not the first, nor the last, public health challenge the US political system has faced. Understanding drivers of governmental responses to public health emergencies is important for policy decision‐making, planning, health and social outcomes, and advocacy.

Moth Communities Reveal High Stability Despite Ongoing Compositional Shifts Over Five Years Following Hurricane Disturbance. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe examined the temporal dynamics and ecological stability of tropical forest moth communities using a unique dataset spanning 6 months before and up to 5 years after two extreme hurricanes. While abundance and richness recovered within 2 years, species composition continued to shift, indicating ongoing reassembly with a directional trajectory toward ...

Disturbance ecology in human societies
People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 1082-1093, August 2023., 2023 Abstract We define societal disturbances as discrete events that abruptly disrupt the functioning of human societies. There is a variety of such events, including hurricanes, floods, epidemics, nuclear accidents, earthquakes and wars, among others. These disturbances can interact, further increasing their impacts.

The dynamics of power in disaster response networks
Risk, Hazards &Crisis in Public Policy, Volume 12, Issue 4, Page 418-433, December 2021., 2021 Abstract A major challenge for disaster scholars and policymakers is to understand the power dimension in response networks, particularly relating to collaboration and coordination. We propose a conceptual framework to study interests and negotiations in and between various civic and professional, response networks drawing on the concepts of ...

Acerca del ángulo de influjo y su importancia en el desarrollo de los huracanes
Geofísica Internacional, 1972 Los resultados de varios experimentos de un modelo numérico de un huracán, se presentan en este trabajo. El modelo se ha formulado en el sistema σ (p/po), es un modelo balanceado y tiene cuatro capas principales y una capa friccional y la red radial es ...
