EltonTraits 1.0: Species-level foraging attributes of the world's birds and mammals
Hamish Wilman,Jonathan Belmaker,Jonathan Belmaker,Jennifer E. Simpson,Carolina de la Rosa,Marcelo M. Rivadeneira,Walter Jetz,Walter Jetz +7 more
TL;DR: A global species-level compilation of key attributes for all 9993 and 5400 extant bird and mammal species derived from key literature sources enables a much finer distinction of species' foraging ecology than typical categorical guild assignments allow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rivers as a source of marine litter - A study from the SE Pacific
S. Rech,V. Macaya-Caquilpán,José F. Pantoja,Marcelo M. Rivadeneira,D. Jofre Madariaga,Martin Thiel +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the composition and abundance of persistent buoyant litter (plastics, polystyrene and manufactured wood) at riversides and on adjacent coastal beaches of four rivers flowing into the SE Pacific Ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scaling and power-laws in ecological systems.
Pablo A. Marquet,Pablo A. Marquet,Renato A. Quiñones,Sebastián Abades,Fabio A. Labra,Marcelo F. Tognelli,Matías Arim,Marcelo M. Rivadeneira +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown how individual level attributes can help to explain and predict patterns at the level of populations that can propagate at upper levels of organization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anthropogenic marine debris in the coastal environment: a multi-year comparison between coastal waters and local shores.
Martin Thiel,Iván A. Hinojosa,Iván A. Hinojosa,Leonardo Miranda,J.F. Pantoja,Marcelo M. Rivadeneira,Nelson Vásquez +6 more
TL;DR: It can be concluded that a reduction of AMD will require local solutions, and the types and the very low percentages of AMD with epibionts point to mostly local sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of social complexity among coastal hunter-gatherers in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile
Pablo A. Marquet,Pablo A. Marquet,Calogero M. Santoro,Claudio Latorre,Vivien G. Standen,Sebastián Abades,Marcelo M. Rivadeneira,Marcelo M. Rivadeneira,Bernardo Arriaza,Michael E. Hochberg,Michael E. Hochberg +10 more
TL;DR: Empirical and theoretical evidence is provided that artificial mummification appeared during a period of increased coastal freshwater availability and marine productivity, which caused an increase in human population size and accelerated the emergence of cultural innovations, as predicted by recent models of cultural and technological evolution.
