What feeds on Quercus ilex L.? A biogeographical approach to studying trophic interactions in a Mediterranean keystone species

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 4-24, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) is regarded as a keystone plant species. Trophic interactions may affect the distribution and abundance of phytophagous species, but the number of arthropod species that use holm oak as a food resource and their levels of host specificity are not yet known.

bRacatus: A method to estimate the accuracy and biogeographical status of georeferenced biological data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 9, Page 1609-1619, September 2021., 2021
Abstract Georeferenced biological data of species distributions, abundances or traits are critical for ecological and evolutionary research. However, the accuracy (true vs. false records) and biogeographical status (native vs. alien) of individual georeferenced records are often unclear, which limits their use in species distribution modelling ...

Decrease in primary but not in secondary abdominal surgery for Crohn's disease: nationwide cohort study, 1990–2014

open access: yesBJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 11, Page 1529-1538, October 2020., 2020
In a Swedish population‐based database, the cumulative incidence of a first abdominal surgical procedure after a diagnosis of Crohn's disease has decreased by two‐thirds over the past 25 years. The risk of repeat abdominal surgery has not decreased since the introduction of biologicals. Ileocaecal resection remained the most common procedure during the

VTMaxBox: A reproducible practical tool for measuring voluntary thermal maximum in terrestrial ectotherms

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Thermal traits are central to understanding how ectotherms respond to environmental warming. However, not all thermal traits describe the same biological process. Critical thermal maxima quantify physiological failure, whereas preferred temperatures describe thermal selection under choice conditions.

Genomics‐informed management of ex situ populations

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA) manages insurance populations for hundreds of species through its EAZA ex situ programs (EEPs). EEPs help safeguard against extinction in the wild and provide source populations for genetic rescue programs.

Exploring Costa Rica's fungal trends: Insights from digitized specimens

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1256-1274, July 2026.
Fungi are essential to tropical ecosystems but remain largely absent from conservation agendas. By analyzing over 78,000 fungal records from Costa Rica—a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot—this study reveals key patterns in fungal diversity, distribution, and seasonality.
