Overview

Ana S. L. Rodrigues is affiliated with the University of Montpellier in France. Their research predominantly centers on environmental science, with a focus on ecology, ecological modeling, nature and landscape conservation, global and planetary change, and economics and econometrics. This multifaceted scope reflects a comprehensive approach to studying natural systems and conservation strategies.

Their publication record includes significant contributions to several prominent journals. Frequent venues for their research include Nature Communications, with six publications; bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), where four papers have been presented; Nature, with three published works; Conservation Letters with two papers; and Biological Conservation, also with two contributions.

The core topics addressed by their research span a wide range of ecological and environmental concerns. These include species distribution and climate change, wildlife ecology and conservation, ecology and vegetation dynamics, economic and environmental valuation, marine animal studies, isotope analysis in ecology, and animal ecology and behavior studies. These topics highlight a versatile engagement with both theoretical and applied aspects of ecology and conservation science.

Among their recent papers are the following:

  • "Area-based conservation in the twenty-first century" (2020) published in Nature
  • "How many bird and mammal extinctions has recent conservation action prevented?" (2020) published in Conservation Letters
  • "The multifaceted challenge of evaluating protected area effectiveness" (2020) published in Nature Communications
  • "A metric for spatially explicit contributions to science-based species targets" (2021) published in Nature Ecology & Evolution
  • "Effectiveness of protected areas in conserving tropical forest birds" (2020) published in Nature Communications

They have collaborated extensively with other researchers in their field, notably frequently coauthoring with Victor Cazalis, Michael Hoffmann, Stuart H. M. Butchart, Andrea Manica, and James Watson. These collaborations have contributed to cross-disciplinary insights and the advancement of knowledge within environmental science and conservation.
