GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES IN THE ERA OF BIG DATA A NECESSARY UPDATING IN THE CURRICULUM DESIGN OF THE GEOSCIENCIES [PDF]

Micro, Macro & Mezzo Geoinformation, 2019
After a long stage of low visibility, place names are revitalized by the digital revolution and globalization. As part of the map, geographical names were also affected by the technological and paradigms changes that revolutionized not only the ...

Geographic risks to functional groups of mammals and birds from habitat loss in Mexico

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract There is a need to quantify the impact of habitat loss due to anthropogenic factors on different aspects of biodiversity, such as functional trait diversity represented by functional groups (FGs). We developed a metric to assess the weighted risk of loss of habitat for 33 FGs of mammals and 36 FGs of birds in Mexico based on potential ...

BIEN: A biodiversity informatics ecosystem advancing open and reproducible workflows for plant observation, plot and trait data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1556-1584, May 2026.
Abstract The rapid expansion of biodiversity data presents new opportunities to understand and forecast biosphere dynamics. However, disparate and dispersed data, taxonomic and geographic inconsistencies, pervasive quality issues, and a lack of reproducable workflows hinder synthesis, introduce biases and limit accurate assessment of biodiversity ...

Height and phytotelm size affect the invertebrate communities of epiphytic bromeliads in the Amazon rainforest

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 221-234, April 2026.
The height at which epiphytic bromeliads are found affects the invertebrate community composition within them. The size of epiphytic bromeliads is positively correlated with species richness of both aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Whether bromeliads were found in primary or secondary forest did not have a significant effect on the community of ...

Conservation evidence is biased but can support decision‐making for prevalent and severe threats in tetrapods

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
Despite taxonomic and spatial biases, substantial conservation evidence is available to support decision‐making by practitioners, particularly for the most prevalent and severe threats. Given the current biodiversity crisis, it is critical that this information is more widely used and that coordination among academic and practitioner partners is ...

Insights from equitable governance assessments in conservation areas around the world

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Global policy commitments to ensure that protected and conserved areas (PCAs) are equitably governed have increased interest in empirically assessing and analyzing social equity. Although numerous assessments have been conducted in individual PCAs, there is limited empirical insight into equity as a multidimensional concept beyond the site ...

Conservation‐focused mapping of avian migratory routes using a pan‐European automated telemetry network

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.
Abstract Accelerated biodiversity loss has destabilized functional links within and between ecosystems. Species that cross different ecosystems during migration between breeding and nonbreeding sites are particularly sensitive to global change because they are exposed to various, often ecosystem‐specific, threats.

Analysis of Users and Uses of DEMs in Spain

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2017
We have carried out a characterization of users and uses of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), in order to be able to study an adaptation of the most appropriate DEM. In the previous literature, there have not been many similar studies of this subject.

Environmental racism and air pollution: Pre and post the COVID‐19 economic shutdown

Review of Policy Research, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 949-981, July 2025.
Abstract Decades of research demonstrates that minoritized groups are disproportionately affected by swathes of harmful pollutants, including air pollution, even controlling for low income. Would significantly reducing individual car traffic help reduce the EJ gap?
