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 ...

“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.

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.
