Tracking marine tetrapod carcasses using a low‐cost mixed methodology with GPS trackers, passive drifters and citizen science

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, Page 2354-2361, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Drift experiments are essential to understand stranding patterns and estimate the mortality of beached animals. Most studies do not use telemetry technology due to the high costs of this methodology. The objective of this paper is to describe the possibilities of tracking marine tetrapod carcasses with a low‐cost and replicable methodology ...

The impact of COVID‐19 on consumption poverty in Mozambique

Journal of International Development, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 771-802, May 2022., 2022
Abstract This study assesses the impact of COVID‐19 on household consumption poverty. To predict changes in income and the associated effects on poverty, we rely on existing estimated macroeconomic impacts. We assume two main impact channels: direct income/wage and employment losses.

Effects of forest degradation on Amazonian ferns in a land‐bridge island system as revealed by non‐specialist inventories

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 1, January–March 2022., 2022
Tropical forests have been rapidly deforested and degradation worldwide has outpaced biodiversity field sampling. We here show that a simple sampling protocol carried out by a non‐specialist can lead to inexpensive and highly reliable ecological data.
