Using the capabilities approach to achieve people‐centered conservation

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Top‐down interventions carried out by state and nonstate institutions to conserve biodiversity and improve the lives of forest‐proximate people (FPP) in the Global South tend to reflect economistic understandings of human well‐being. More progressive and people‐centered conservation projects are guided by normative visions of how the world ...

A Review and Critique of Methods and Knowledge Gaps in Quantifying Spillover Effects from Protected Areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The sustainability of area‐based conservation initiatives depends on their value to society. Conservation often focuses inside protected areas, but the impacts of protected areas beyond their boundaries (spillovers) are critical for their social license.

Optimizing biodiversity offsetting for habitat succession and colonization dynamics

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity offsetting aims to compensate for ecological losses from development through conservation and restoration. However, its long‐term outcomes under repeated impact–offset cycles remain uncertain. Using a conceptual forest succession model, we evaluated how offset outcomes are affected by interactions among compensation scale ...

Estimación de la productividad del agua a nivel parcelario en maíz forrajero usando sensores remotos y datos climáticos de reanálisis

open access: yesRevista de Teledetección
La productividad del agua de los cultivos (PA) es un indicador importante del uso del agua agrícola; uno de los grandes retos del sector agrícola es producir una mayor cantidad de alimentos con la menor cantidad de agua aumentando la PA.

How endorser attributes influence conservation communication

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation communication often uses the celebrity endorsement strategy. However, robust evidence regarding its effectiveness is still limited. More importantly, practitioners do not have guidelines for selecting an ideal endorser because there is no clear consensus on what endorser attributes are most critical.

Dark diversity of flea (Siphonaptera) assemblages in South American rodents: Latitudinal and altitudinal gradients

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
The dark diversity of compound flea communities increased from north to south. The dark diversity of compound flea communities increased from lower to higher altitudes. The dark diversity of component flea communities also increased from north to south but did not vary with altitude.

The rhizosphere microbiome of burned holm-oak: potential role of the genus Arthrobacter in the recovery of burned soils

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
After a forest wildfire, the microbial communities have a transient alteration in their composition. The role of the soil microbial community in the recovery of an ecosystem following such an event remains poorly understood.

Plant genotypic diversity and defoliation jointly shape root exudation, fungal communities, and carbon and nitrogen cycling

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Experimental design. Summary Intraspecific plant diversity is a major component of community diversity, yet its role in shaping plant–microbial interactions and soil functioning remains poorly understood. In particular, plant genotypic diversity may modulate ecosystem responses to defoliation, a key driver of ecosystem processes in grazed systems.

Democratic Values in Citizen Participation: What Citizens Prioritize in Participation

open access: yesPolicy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Citizen participation is often initiated to strengthen democracy. While participatory innovations are typically assessed through normative frameworks emphasizing democratic values, little is known about which of these values are prioritized by citizens.

Genetic progress in yield, biomass, and trait trade-offs in Chilean durum wheat before and after the Green Revolution under Mediterranean irrigated conditions

open access: yesFrontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Grain yield in wheat depends on both aboveground biomass production and harvest index (HI). As HI approaches its theoretical limit, future yield improvement is expected to rely increasingly on enhancing biomass production while maintaining efficient ...
