Re‐evaluating the behavioral change from conditional cash transfers: Evidence from the Avancemos National Program in Costa Rica

open access: yesPoverty &Public Policy, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 29-47, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Conditional cash transfers (CCT) have become a common solution aiming to reduce poverty by increasing the human capital of children. In 2006, the Government of Costa Rica introduced Avancemos, a nationwide CCT program, with the premise that a monetary subsidy, conditional on school attendance, would offset adolescents' opportunity cost from ...

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1756-1783, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map ...

Large wild herbivores slow down the rapid decline of plant diversity in a tropical forest biodiversity hotspot

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 11, Page 2361-2370, November 2021., 2021
Our study indicates that large herbivores have moderate yet critical effects on slowing down community change and diversity loss of highly diverse plant communities, thus suggesting that the conservation of (and potentially trophic rewilding with) large herbivores is a fundamental nature‐based solution for averting the global collapse of the ...

Web databases of feather photographs are useful tools for avian morphometry studies

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 12, Page 7677-7684, June 2021., 2021
Wing area and aspect ratio are key variables for studies of avian comparative ecology, despite the complexity of measuring them both in living and in museum specimens. The systematic databases of feather photographs available on the Internet may offer an alternative way of obtaining such morphometric data.

Laparoscopic versus open subtotal gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma: cost‐effectiveness analysis

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 830-839, October 2020., 2020
Laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy (LSG) is associated with good perioperative outcomes and superior quality of life compared with the open approach to resection of gastric adenocarcinoma, albeit at higher cost. A cost–effectiveness analysis comparing the two approaches found LSG to be cost‐effective compared with the open approach, with an incremental ...
