Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 9, Page 1615-1622, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim The relative roles of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, and those of local and regional variables, in island colonisation, remain major biogeographical questions. Thus, we analysed avian colonisation records of a large land‐bridge island, defining successful colonisation as the occurrence of breeding during at least 3 consecutive years, at ...

Forest disturbance and recovery in Peruvian Amazonia
Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 13, Page 3601-3621, July 2023., 2023 This study used Landsat time series in combination with data from 1840 National Forest Inventory plots in Peruvian Amazonia to determine the impact of disturbance, environmental conditions and human use on forests' biomass and tree diversity. We found that the intensity of forest disturbance had a negative effect on the recovery of aboveground biomass ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Many species are restricted to a marginal or suboptimal fraction of their historical range due to anthropogenic impacts, making it hard to interpret their ecological preferences from modern‐day data alone. However, inferring past ecological states is limited by the availability of robust data and biases in historical archives, posing a ...

A general optimal adaptive framework for managing a threatened species
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 4, October–December 2022., 2022 Our general approach to optimise adaptive management for threatened species conservation overcomes multiple existing hurdles to implementation. Our method minimises the information elicited from experts, removes the need to develop custom models for every species and is supported by a Shiny application so users need not interact with specialised ...

Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 10, Page 2308-2320, October 2022., 2022 Our results provide important insights into the responses of semiarid annual plant communities under a climate change scenario. Experimental rain exclusion consistently decreased diversity (taxonomic and functional) but to a lesser extent than interannual rain patterns, that result in deep diversity losses during drought events but rapid recovery in ...

Au revoir Paris! Spanish regions closer to the EU average and further away from the leaders
Regional Science Policy &Practice, Volume 14, Issue 5, Page 1133-1157, October 2022., 2022 Abstract This paper confirms that Spanish regions in 2015 were closer to the EU average in labour productivity than in 2000, but further away from the richest regions such as Île de France. A dynamic shift‐share analysis at a 10‐industry level of disaggregation shows that the main driver of convergence with the EU average is catch‐up in labour ...

Modeling population effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on a long‐lived species
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022 Abstract The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill exposed common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Barataria Bay, Louisiana to heavy oiling that caused increased mortality and chronic disease and impaired reproduction in surviving dolphins. We conducted photographic surveys and veterinary assessments in the decade following the spill.

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022 Abstract Unsustainable exploitation of wild species represents a serious threat to biodiversity and to the livelihoods of local communities and Indigenous peoples. However, managed, sustainable use has the potential to forestall extinctions, aid recovery, and meet human needs.

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 1715-1724, December 2021., 2021 Abstract Despite its successes, the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) has proven challenging to implement due to funding limitations, workload backlog, and other problems. As threats to species survival intensify and as more species come under threat, the need for the ESA and similar conservation laws and policies in other countries to function ...
