Inhibitory and facilitatory effects of phonological and orthographic similarity on L2 word recognition across modalities in bilinguals
(Scientific Reports, 2021)
Language perception studies on bilinguals often show that words that share form and meaning across languages (cognates) are easier to process than words that share only meaning. This facilitatory phenomenon is known as the ...
Altered effective connectivity in sensorimotor cortices is a signature of severity and clinical course in depression
(PNAS, 2021)
Functional neuroimaging research on depression has traditionally
targeted neural networks associated with the psychological
aspects of depression. In this study, instead, we focus on alterations
of sensorimotor function ...
The sustainable management of land and fisheries resources using multicriteria techniques: A meta-analysis
(Land, 2020)
In recent years modern societies have attached a multifunctional requirement to the use of renewable resources, making their optimal sustainable management more complex. In the last decades, in many cases, this complexity ...
Combined effects of life-history traits and human impact on extinction risk of freshwater megafauna.
(CONSERVATION BIOLOGY, 2020)
Megafauna species are intrinsically vulnerable to human impact. Freshwater megafauna (i.e., freshwater animals ≥30 kg, including fishes, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians) are subject to intensive and increasing threats. ...
Use your power for good: Plural valuation of nature the Oaxaca statement
(Global sustainability, 2020)
During a workshop held in Oaxaca, Mexico, a shared vision, mission and strategies to foster a
more plural valuation of nature were developed. The participants represent a wide range of

The role of the European small ruminant dairy sector in stabilising global temperatures: Lessons from GWP* warming-equivalent emission metrics
(JOURNAL OF DAIRY RESEARCH, 2021)
Recent calls advocate that a huge reduction in the consumption of animal products (including dairy) is essential to mitigate climate change and stabilise global warming below the 1.5 and 2°C targets. The Paris Agreement ...
Adaptation planning in large cities is unlikely to be effective
(Elservier, 2021)
The assessment of public adaptation policies, strategies and plans to evaluate progress, effectiveness and long-term sustainability is challenging. The potential to develop an ex-post evaluation linked to outcomes is limited ...
Biophysical and economic assessment of four ecosystem services for natural capital accounting in Italy
(Ecosystem Services, 2020)
We present methods and results of country-based natural capital assessments for four ecosystem services (ES) in Italy. The spatial mapping and the assessment have been carried out in both physical and monetary terms for ...
Ecosystem transpiration and evaporation: Insights from three water flux partitioning methods across FLUXNET sites
(GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 2020)
We apply and compare three widely applicable methods for estimating ecosystem transpiration (T) from eddy covariance (EC) data across 251 FLUXNET sites globally. All three methods are based on the coupled water and carbon ...
Comprehension of Morse Code Predicted by Item Recall From Short-Term Memory
(Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021)
Purpose: Morse code as a form of communication became
widely used for telegraphy, radio and maritime communication,
and military operations, and remains popular with ham radio
operators. Some skilled users of Morse code ...
