Functional diversity of snakes is explained by the landscape composition at multiple areas of influence. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 This study investigated the impact of roads and landscape composition on the functional diversity of snakes in the Orinoco region of Colombia. The results suggest that landscape composition affects the functional diversity of both road‐killed snakes and those inhabiting the adjacent vegetation within an area of influence ranging from 250 to 2000 m. The

First national assessment of wildlife mortality in Ecuador: An effort from citizens and academia to collect roadkill data at country scale. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 The first national assessment of wildlife mortality caused by road traffic in Ecuador. A comprehensive roadkill dataset with more than 5000 roadkill records in Ecuador that includes threatened and poorly known species. A joint effort of citizens and academia to collect roadkill data at a country scale.

Extinction debt and functional traits mediate community saturation over large spatiotemporal scales
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 11, Page 2228-2239, November 2023., 2023 This study is the first to simultaneously evaluate whether (1) community saturation can require lengthy timespans to be reached and (2) there is a limit to the number of ecological strategies that can coexist. Determining if these ideas are supported is fundamental for better understanding the possible outcomes of species invasions and climate change ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Advancements in the field of reintroduction biology are needed, but understanding of how to effectively conduct translocations, particularly with snakes, is lacking. We conducted a systematic review of snake translocation studies to identify potential tactics for reducing postrelease effects. We included studies on intentional, human‐mediated,

“The universal word speaks only in dialect”
The Ecumenical Review, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 495-508, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Postcolonial theories announce an “exit”: the departure from the West as the world’s centre of gravity and from Eurocentric hegemonic claims of superiority, turning away from the universal, and placing unheard voices at the centre – those who are excluded from academic, public, and political discourse. Such stories and histories of the margins

People and Nature, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 627-638, June 2021., 2021 Abstract Anthropogenic activities and climate change are affecting marine ecosystems world‐wide, but systematic biodiversity assessments through periodic biomonitoring can be challenging and costly. Local ecological knowledge (LEK), obtained from experienced residents, can complement other approaches and provide improved understanding of the ...

Biotropica, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 820-830, May 2021., 2021 We analyzed wildlife roadkill patterns along a road network between tree protected areas in the Andes of Ecuador. Roadkills included poorly known small and endemic vertebrates, such as caecilians (Gymnophiona) and fossorial snakes (Atractus spp.). Most roadkills occurred in areas where roads crossed pasturelands adjacent to natural habitat.
