Successional and native forests predict the occurrence and infection status of Chagas disease vectors in Panama

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Findings here show that successional forest predicts greater kissing bug infestation risk in palm trees, whereas native forest predicts lower kissing bug occurrence but greater infection with T. cruzi. These insights can guide land use planning towards vegetation management practices that help minimize T. cruzi transmission risks for rural communities.

El paisaje intermedio: entre lo urbano y lo rural. Una franja de transición

Opera, 2016
El paisaje intermedio es aquel suelo ubicado en las periferias de las ciudades que permanece vacío, no es urbano ni rural y debe ser intervenido para evitar que la informalidad y la fragmentación antecedan a lo ordenado y planificado. Este debe propiciar

Urbanization of seed dispersal networks

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Rapid urban expansion is affecting the composition of wild communities and creating novel ecosystems worldwide. Seed dispersal is key for ecosystem persistence, particularly in fragmented landscapes. However, generalizations regarding the impacts of urbanization are still difficult due to the lack of studies encompassing the urban matrix.

Assessing the Corn Belt as an anthropogenic barrier to migrating landbirds in the United States

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Migrating landbirds adjust their flight and stopover behaviors to efficiently cross inhospitable geographies, such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Sahara Desert. In addition to these natural barriers, birds may increasingly encounter anthropogenic barriers created by large‐scale changes in land use. One such barrier could be the Corn Belt in the

Network dynamics revealed from eDNA highlight seasonal variation in urban mammal communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 8, Page 1587-1602, August 2025.
Our novel study applied eDNA to track seasonal shifts in urban mammal communities, revealing changes in diversity and species interaction networks across 21 urban parks in Detroit. We highlight the influence of park size and human activity on biodiversity, demonstrating the utility of eDNA for urban conservation and wildlife management.

Mapping the Missing: Assessing Amphibian Sampling Completeness and Overlap With Global Protected Areas

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
This study evaluates global sampling completeness of amphibians and explores the overlap between sampling categories and conservation areas, focusing on natural protected areas (NPAs) and key biodiversity areas (KBAs). Results reveal significant data gaps, particularly in the most species‐rich realms, and a low spatial match with NPAs/KBAs.

Living in the Paraindustrial

American Anthropologist, Volume 127, Issue 1, Page 131-139, March 2025.
Abstract This article is an autoethnographic exploration of life in the former steel mill region of Southeast Chicago in the ‘Rust Belt’ of the Midwestern United States. It challenges assumptions about deindustrialization that depict one discrete historical stage following another (i.e., the postindustrial following the industrial) in favor of what is ...
