Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Identifying hotspots of faunal data deficiency to direct urgent research and monitoring

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Data deficiency is a substantial challenge for extinction risk assessments because incomplete data means we cannot accurately identify priority protected areas for conservation. Here, we use the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) distributions of amphibians, sharks and rays, fish, mammals, birds, and reptiles to identify ...

Improving efficiency in conservation planning by modeling species‐specific responses to threat abatement

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Reversing ongoing biodiversity loss requires effectively managing anthropogenic threats. Although conservation actions can mitigate these threats, prioritizing and targeting such actions remain challenging because species respond differently depending on the nature of the threats and their biological traits.

Building habitability and ranking of discrimination based on safety and sustainability to disasters. Case study: Wooden houses

Revista de Estudios Latinoamericanos sobre Reducción del Riesgo de Desastres, 2018
Every housing should fulfill safety, comfort and durability standards, even more when due to climate change disasters occur more often than ever. In Chile, construction standards can be found in the General Urban Planning and Construction Ordinance (OGUC)

Insights from three decades of IUCN Red List assessments catalyzing shark, ray, and chimaera conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is a critical measure of global aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity status. It is also the basis for the Red List Index, which tracks extinction risk over time.

Notas sobre la variación de briófitas entre un bosque pantanoso de Amomyrtus luma y una pradera antropogénica húmeda de Juncus procerus

Gayana: Botanica, 2020
The bryophyte richness was evaluated in the understory of a swamp forest of Amomyrtus luma and an anthropogenic wet prairie of Juncus procerus. Bryophyte richness, and growth and life forms changed between both wetlands.

Variability in seed germination and seedling growth at the intra- and inter-provenance levels of Nothofagus glauca (Lophozonia glauca), an endemic species of Central Chile

New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science, 2017
Background Patterns of seed germination and subsequent seedling growth of the endemic species Nothofagus glauca (Phil.) Krasser (Lophozonia glauca) (Hualo) were studied in two provenances from Mediterranean Central Chile (pre-Andean mountain range ...

Subspecies taxonomy reflects social and geographic patterns of taxonomic effort in tetrapods

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Subspecies have been used in conservation biology to account for intraspecific patterns in genetic diversity, which is crucial to long‐term population viability. Although over 3200 subspecies are currently assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, their biological relevance remains controversial.
