Floristic diversity, composition and dominance across Amazonian forest types respond differently to latitude

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 685-698, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim The latitudinal biodiversity gradient is considered a first‐order biogeographical pattern for most taxonomic groups. Latitudinal variation in plant diversity is not always consistent, and this could be related to the particular characteristics of different forest types.

Mitigating the effects of climate change on the nests of sea turtles with artificial irrigation

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Abstract For sea turtles, like many oviparous species, increasing temperatures during development threaten to increase embryonic mortality, alter offspring quality, and potentially create suboptimal primary sex ratios. Various methods are being implemented to mitigate the effects of climate change on reproductive success, but these methods, such as ...

Primary succession in an Atlantic salt marsh: From intertidal flats to mid‐marsh platform in 35 years

Journal of Ecology, Volume 109, Issue 8, Page 2909-2921, August 2021., 2021
Facilitation plays a central role in saltmarsh development in this study of primary succession. We chronicle changes in the sedimentary environment, geomorphology and plant colonisation over 35 years, as intertidal flats were transformed into a mid‐marsh platform.

Simultaneous Generation of Topographic Models and Manning Roughness Coefficient Maps From Tri‐Stereoscopic Satellite Images: Application to the Huarmey River, Peru

The Photogrammetric Record, Volume 41, Issue 195, July‐September 2026.
Tri‐stereoscopic PeruSat‐1 imagery enables the simultaneous generation of 0.70 m‐resolution topography and spatially distributed Manning roughness maps, achieving 0.434 m vertical accuracy. Integrated into HEC‐RAS, these products provide consistent, high‐resolution inputs that improve hydraulic modelling and flood risk assessment in data‐scarce river ...

Exploring ecohydrology through the lens of local fishers in the Bolivian Amazon

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The natural flow regimes of Andean‐Amazon tributaries play a vital role in sustaining their rich biodiversity and productive local fisheries, but ongoing and proposed alteration of river flow regimes by large dams threatens to negatively impact river ecosystems. Despite its importance, our understanding of how hydrologic variability influences

Critical Infrastructure, Climate Disasters, and Cultural Survival: Policy Failures and Community Displacement in the Era of Managed Retreat

Journal of Critical Infrastructure Policy, Volume 7, Issue 2, Fall/Winter 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate disasters are currently changing territory around the world by showing large inequalities that exist in infrastructure systems, governance arrangements, and development pathways. In many cases, climate risk response strategies like managed retreat have been framed as practical approaches to respond to increasing climate disasters ...

Water‐saving strategies in rice farming entail cascading effects in prey–predator interactions across ecosystem boundaries

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2273-2282, September 2025.
These results show that introducing multiple drainage periods in rice fields (i.e. AWD) indirectly hampers terrestrial spider reproduction through limiting the emergence of potential preys from the aquatic to terrestrial boundaries. MSD resulted in a more conciliatory strategy as it largely reduces methane emissions and does not affect predator–prey ...
