Clam population dynamics as an indicator of beach urbanization impacts
(Elsevier Science, 2019-06)
Modification of natural environments due to human activities has become an issue of great concern in the last years. In this study, beach urbanization impact was assessed through population dynamics of two dominant infaunal ...
The Effects of City Streets on an Urban Disease Vector
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
With increasing urbanization vector-borne diseases are quickly developing in cities, and urban control strategies are needed. If streets are shown to be barriers to disease vectors, city blocks could be used as a convenient ...
Mapping and characterizing the green belt of Córdoba: Land dynamics and the urban-rural transformation process
(OPEN ACCESS PUB, 2019-06)
In Córdoba, Argentina, the peri-urban horticulture is in conflict with industrial agriculture and urban development. This problem is partly due to urban expansion to rural areas occurred in the last years and to monoculture ...
Within-country migration and obesity dynamics: analysis of 94,783 women from the Peruvian demographic and health surveys
(BioMed Central, 2019)
Background: Rural-to-urban migration is associated with increased obesity, yet it remains unknown whether this association exist, and to what extent, with other types of internal migration. Methods: We conducted a secondary ...
