Deforestation processes in the livestock territory of La Vía Láctea, Matagalpa, Nicaragua
(2019)
Land-use change is considered one of the main causes of environmental

Extinction filters mediate the global effects of habitat fragmentation on animals
(Science, 2019)
Habitat loss is the primary driver of biodiversity decline worldwide, but the effects of fragmentation (the spatial
arrangement of remaining habitat) are debated. We tested the hypothesis that forest fragmentation ...
Experimental field exclosure of birds and bats in agricultural systems — Methodological insights, potential improvements, and cost-benefit trade-offs
(ELSEVIER, 2019)
Experimental exclosure of birds and bats constitutes a powerful tool to study the impacts of wildlife on pests and crop yields in agricultural systems. Though widely utilized, exclosure experiments are not standardized ...

Impacts of protected areas vary with the level of government: Comparing avoided deforestation across agencies in the Brazilian Amazon
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019)
Leaf functional traits vary within and across tree species in tropical cloud forest on rock outcrop versus volcanic soil
(2019)
Functional leaf traits are used to classify plants into ecological strategies according to the leaf economic spectrum. Geological substrate has an important effect on functional trait variation, however, interspecific and ...
