A structured open dataset of government interventions in response to COVID-19
(Nature, 2020-08-27)In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, governments have implemented a wide range of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). Monitoring and documenting government strategies during the COVID-19 crisis is crucial to understand ... -
Forest Coverage and Socioeconomic Factors Associated with Dengue in El Salvador, 2011-2013.
(Sage Journals, 2021-08-01)Dengue virus serotypes 1, 2, 3, and 4 are transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, which cause illness in an estimated 100 million annually. Although dengue viruses are endemic throughout El Salvador, ... -
Ongoing declines for the world’s amphibians in the face of emerging threats
(Springer Nature, 2023-10-04)Systematic assessments of species extinction risk at regular intervals are necessary for informing conservation action1,2. Ongoing developments in taxonomy, threatening processes and research further underscore the need ... -
Socioeconomic and environmental factors associated with dengue fever incidence in Guatemala Rising temperatures increase dengue risk
(PLOS, 2024-08-01)Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne illness that infects 390 million people annually. Dengue outbreaks in Guatemala have been occurring more often and at increased rates since the first dengue outbreak in Guatemala in the ... -
Photosynthesis limitations in cacao leaves under different agroforestry systems in the Colombian Amazon
(Public Library of Science, 2018-11-01)Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) has traditionally been considered a crop that requires shade, and consequently it is implemented under agroforestry systems (AFs) in order to regulate the level of incident solar radiation. ... -
Shade Effects on the Dispersal of Airborne Hemileia vastatrix Uredospores
(The American Phytopathological Society, 2016-06-26)Hemileia vastatrix caused a severe epidemic in Central America in 2012-13. The gradual development of that epidemic on nearly a continental scale suggests that dispersal at different scales played a significant role. Shade ... -

Competition for light in heterogeneous canopies Application of MAESTRA to a coffee (Coffea arabica L.) agroforestry system
(Elsevier, 2013-11-15)In agroforestry systems (AFS), quantifying the competition for light is a prerequisite toward understanding the impact of shade trees on the productivity of the under-crop. Models for homogeneous canopies and shade/full-sun ... -
Increased light-use efficiency sustains net primary productivity of shaded coffee plants in agroforestry system
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2017-08)In agroforestry systems, shade trees strongly affect the physiology of the undergrown crop. However, a major paradigm is that the reduction in absorbed photosynthetically active radiation is, to a certain extent, compensated ...
