Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 9, Page 1827-1837, September 2021., 2021 High functional diversity and functional redundancy from lowland to mid‐elevation tropical forests suggest that these ecosystems can be resilient to future disturbances. Our results indicate that the ability of high‐elevation forests may be particularly susceptible to climate change and increasing forest‐use intensity. For these high‐elevation forests,

Responses of New Zealand forest birds to management of introduced mammals
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 35-49, February 2021., 2021 Abstract Over the past 1000 years New Zealand has lost 40–50% of its bird species, and over half of these extinctions are attributable to predation by introduced mammals. Populations of many extant forest bird species continue to be depredated by mammals, especially rats, possums, and mustelids.

Tropical Land‐Use Change Disrupts Zeta‐Diversity Across Taxa
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 5, May 2025.We studied birds, dung beetles, and orchids across natural and human‐transformed habitats in the Colombian Andes to understand how land‐use change affects biodiversity. We found that deforestation simplifies ecological communities and reduces both rare and widespread species, especially orchids.

ON CHAINSAWS AND ACOUSTIC VIOLENCE: Sound and Deforestation in Ajusco‐Chichinautzin, Mexico
Cultural Anthropology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 1-26, February 2025.ABSTRACT This article explores distinct practices of sounding and listening that have emerged in a context of severe deforestation in Ajusco‐Chichinautzin, a region south of Mexico City. It applies the concept of acoustic violence to this setting, as part of wider attempts to build constructive responses to climate breakdown through sound and music ...

Métodos alternativos de inducción de muda en ponedoras: efectos sobre la pérdida de peso vivo, la regresión del ovario y del oviducto y los resultados productivos [PDF]
, 2012 La producción de huevos disminuye a medida que las ponedoras envejecen. Un método para contrarrestar, al menos parcialmente, esta evolución natural del rendimiento productivo es la muda inducida.

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 64, Issue 5, Page 661-668, November 2024.ABSTRACT Objective To determine the diagnostic accuracy of virtual autopsy using whole‐body postmortem ultra‐high field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 7 Tesla (T), using a short T2‐weighted imaging (T2‐WI) protocol, compared with classical autopsy, for detecting structural abnormalities in small second‐trimester fetuses. Methods Thirty consecutive
