Urban wildlife in times of COVID-19: What can we infer from novel carnivore records in urban areas?
(Elsevier, 2021-04)The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic brought an unusual decrease in human activity associated with partial and total lockdowns. Simultaneously, a series of wildlife sightings—mainly in urban areas—have been brought to public ... -
Land-Cover Classification Using MaxEnt: Can We Trust in Model Quality Metrics for Estimating Classification Accuracy?
(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-03)MaxEnt is a popular maximum entropy-based algorithm originally developed for modelling species distribution, but increasingly used for land-cover classification. In this article, we used MaxEnt as a single-class land-cover ... -
Evaluating forest resilience to global threats using functional response traits and network properties
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-07)Ecosystem functions provided by forests are threatened by direct and indirect effects of global change drivers such as climate warming land-use change, biological invasions, and shifting natural disturbance regimes. To ... -
Recent deforestation drove the spike in Amazonian fires

Differential Early Performance of Two Underplanted Hardwood Tree Species Following Restoration Treatments in High-Graded Temperate Rainforests
(MDPI AG, 2020-04)Rauli (Nothofagus alpina (Poepp. & Endl.)) and Ulmo (Eucryphia cordifolia Cav.) are mid-tolerant tree species in the Coihue-Rauli-Tepa (ca. 0.55 mill ha) and Evergreen (ca. 4.1 mill ha) forest types in south-central Chile, ... -
Short-term effects of variable-density thinning on regeneration in hardwood-dominated temperate rainforests
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020-05)Second-growth temperate forests usually have simpler composition and structure than comparable old-growth stands. We evaluated the application of variable density thinning (VDT) as a way to increase old-growth attributes, ... -
Height growth-rate at a given height: A mathematical perspective for forest productivity
(Elsevier, 2020-09)Understanding the height growth of trees is a fundamental component for scientific knowledge and management of forest ecosystems. The height of dominant trees at a reference-age, commonly known as the site-index, is the ... -
Integrating conflict, lobbying, and compliance to predict the sustainability of natural resource use
(The Resilience Alliance, 2020-06)Predictive models are sorely needed to guide the management of harvested natural resources worldwide, yet existing frameworks fail to integrate the dynamic and interacting governance processes driving unsustainable use. ... -
Life-history dimensions indicate non-random assembly processes in tropical island tree communities
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021-03)Community assembly processes on islands are often non-random. The mechanisms behind non-random assembly, however, are generally difficult to disentangle. Functional diversity in combination with a null model approach that ... -
Estructura y regeneración de bosques de Prumnopitys andina en los Andes del sur de Chile
(Universidad de Concepcion, 2020-06)Prumnopitys andina (lleuque) es una especie de conífera con una distribución restringida en Chile y Argentina. A pesar de su importancia ecológica, los conocimientos sobre la estructura y dinámica de los bosques donde crece ... -
A multispecies assessment of wildlife impacts on local community livelihoods
(Wiley, 2021-02)Conflicts between the interests of agriculture and wildlife conservation are a major threat to biodiversity and human well-being globally. Addressing such conflicts requires a thorough understanding of the impacts associated ... -
Using Ecological Modelling to Assess the Long-Term Survival of the West-Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus) in the Panama Canal
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)There is evidence of a thriving population of West-Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus) in the Panama Canal, although it is not clear if they are descendants of a small group of introduced manatees or if manatees have entered ... -
A cross-scale assessment of productivity-diversity relationships
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)Aim Biodiversity and ecosystem productivity vary across the globe, and considerable effort has been made to describe their relationships. Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning research has traditionally focused on how ... -
Un llamado a la activación real de la Sociedad Chilena de Ciencias Forestales
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)Aunque en lo formal existe la Sociedad Chilena de Ciencias Forestales (SOCIFOR), creada por un grupo de instituciones ligadas al sector forestal, lamentablemente su inactividad ha debilitado su progreso. En el presente ... -
Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the use and perceptions of urban green space: An international exploratory study
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)Urban green space (UGS) is an essential element in the urban environment, providing multiple ecosystem services as well as beneficial effects on physical and mental health. In a time of societal crisis these effects may ...
