PhyBaSE: A Bayesian structural equation model approach to causal inference in phylogenetic comparative analyses

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1136-1148, June 2025.
Abstract One of the main limitations of phylogenetic comparative analyses is that associations between traits can only be interpreted as correlations. Here, we present a novel Bayesian structural equation model (PhyBaSE) which allows us to disentangle direct from indirect relationships among variables to propose potential causal hypotheses while ...

‘Sowing and harvesting water’: Revisiting forest restoration in the Peruvian Andes through a multi‐stakeholder analysis

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 631-652, March 2025.

Evaluating endophyte‐rich leaves and leaf functional traits for protection of tropical trees against natural enemies

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 371-389, February 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants use physical barriers and chemical compounds to defend themselves against natural enemies. For instance, tough leaves are considered to be better defended than soft leaves, part of a spectrum of defences defined by functional traits such as leaf chemistry ...

Duration in power and happiness in the world

Politics &Policy, Volume 52, Issue 6, Page 1331-1352, December 2024.
Abstract This article examines the effect of leader longevity in power on world happiness. To make the assessment, a sample composed of 135 countries observed over the period 2006 to 2018 was constituted. The results obtained from OLS estimates show that longevity in power reduces individual happiness. Furthermore, the negative effect is more amplified

Similar climate–growth relationships but divergent drought resilience strategies in coexisting Mediterranean shrubs

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1804-1817, August 2024.
These results highlight the importance of drought as a driver of growth in Mediterranean scrublands. Growth resilience strategies differed between species with junipers being less resilient to drought than other coexisting shrubs. Further research should investigate how this difference in post‐drought resilience is related to functional traits ...

¿Por qué las mujeres viven más que los hombres? Una revisión desde el punto de vista biológico

Revista de Salud Ambiental, 2020
Una observación que se ha repetido a lo largo de los últimos 200 años es que las mujeres viven más que los hombres. Esta diferencia de longevidad entre sexos no puede atribuirse, por tanto, únicamente al distinto papel sociocultural que adquiere ...
