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 ...

Functional diversity of snakes is explained by the landscape composition at multiple areas of influence

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 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

A systematic review of snake translocations to identify potential tactics for reducing postrelease effects

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

The value and limitations of local ecological knowledge: Longitudinal and retrospective assessment of flagship species in Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica

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 ...

Geography of roadkills within the Tropical Andes Biodiversity Hotspot: Poorly known vertebrates are part of the toll

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.
