Berries and bullets: influence of food and mortality risk on grizzly bears in British Columbia Bayas y balas: influencia de la alimentación y el riesgo de mortalidad en los osos grizzly en la Columbia Británica Des baies et des balles: influence de l'alimentation et risques de mortalité chez les ours grizzlys de la Colombie‐Britannique

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 213, Issue 1, November 2023., 2023
We developed a spatialized surface for the primary food of grizzly bears in southeast British Columbia. After using this huckleberry patch layer to model habitat selection, fitness, and density, in a bottom‐up top‐down paradigm, we found that huckleberry patches near forestry roads contribute very little to fitness and density.

Patterns of leaf trait variation underlie ecological differences among sympatric tree species of Damburneya in a tropical rainforest

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 9, Page 1394-1409, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Premise Although ecological differentiation driven by altitude and soil is hypothesized to promote coexistence of sympatric tree species of Damburneya (Lauraceae), the mechanistic role of leaf functional variation on ecological differentiation among co‐occurring species remains unexplored.

Patterns and controls on island‐wide aboveground biomass accumulation in second‐growth forests of Puerto Rico

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 1146-1159, September 2022., 2022
Understanding the heterogeneity of biomass accumulation in second‐growth tropical forests following land use abandonment is important for informing ecosystem carbon models and forest restoration efforts. Using airborne lidar data, we quantify patterns and controls on aboveground biomass accumulation in second‐growth forests of Puerto Rico.

Deflection of Vertical Effect on Direct Georeferencing in Aerial Mobile Mapping Systems: A Case Study in Sweden

open access: yesThe Photogrammetric Record, Volume 37, Issue 179, Page 285-305, September 2022., 2022
This paper aims to study and quantify the induced error due to the deflection of verticals (DOV) when integrating different sensors, focusing on GNSS and INS for 3D mapping in airborne mapping. It is shown that the DOV effect should be considered for direct georeferencing because the DOV components are in the order of (or larger than) INS uncertainty ...

Moth assemblages in Costa Rica rain forest mirror small‐scale topographic heterogeneity

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 288-301, March 2020., 2020
Abstract In many tropical lowland rain forests, topographic variation increases environmental heterogeneity, thus contributing to the extraordinary biodiversity of tropical lowland forests. While a growing number of studies have addressed effects of topographic differences on tropical insect communities at regional scales (e.g., along extensive ...

A spatially explicit empirical model of structural development processes in natural forests based on climate and topography

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 194-206, February 2020., 2020
Abstract Stand structure develops with stand age. Old‐growth forests with well‐developed stand structure support many species. However, development rates of stand structure likely vary with climate and topography. We modeled structural development of 4 key stand variables and a composite old‐growth index as functions of climatic and topographic ...

Inside the ice shelf: using augmented reality to visualise 3D lidar and radar data of Antarctica

open access: yesThe Photogrammetric Record, Volume 34, Issue 168, Page 346-364, December 2019., 2019
From 2015 to 2017, the ROSETTA‐Ice project comprehensively mapped Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf. The campaign imaged the ice‐shelf surface with lidar and its internal structure with ice‐penetrating radar. The first augmented reality (AR) visualisation of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, using the Microsoft HoloLens, is presented.

Marked tree demographic variation along subtle elevation differences partially explains species' habitat associations in an Amazonian forest

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 10, Page 2860-2874, October 2025.
These findings show that even small differences in elevation can lead to biologically meaningful variation in resource access that translates into significant differences in tree growth and survival. However, resource access could not fully explain the patterns of topographically driven demographic variation we observed. While certain species may still

Maternal prepregnancy weight as an independent risk factor for congenital heart defect: systematic review and meta‐analysis stratified by subtype and severity of defect

open access: yesUltrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 294-307, September 2024.
ABSTRACT Objective To assess the association between increased maternal prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and the risk of congenital heart defect (CHD) in offspring. Methods This systematic review and meta‐analysis searched PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science and Scopus from inception to 20 April 2023.

Soil organic carbon data comparison after 85 years and new 13C/12C compositions: The case study of the Ferrara province (Northeastern Italy)

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 147-161, March/April 2024.
Abstract The main causes of soil organic matter (SOM) loss are land use (e.g., conventional agriculture) and land‐use change (e.g., conversion of wetlands into croplands). Before World War II and until 1960s, the Ferrara province in the Emilia‐Romagna region (Northeast Italy) enlarged its agricultural production area through drainage of wetlands. After
