Overview

Víctor Arroyo-Rodríguez is affiliated with the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico. Their research primarily spans the fields of Environmental Science and Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with a strong focus on Global and Planetary Change, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Ecology, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, and Ecological Modeling.

The scientist's work addresses several interconnected topics including Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies, Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, Conservation, Biodiversity, and Resource Management, Land Use and Ecosystem Services, Species Distribution and Climate Change, Primate Behavior and Ecology, and Forest Management and Policy.

Víctor Arroyo-Rodríguez has contributed to multiple publications in prominent venues such as Landscape Ecology, Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, Biodiversity and Conservation, Ecology Letters, and Biological Conservation.

Some significant recent papers include:

  • Designing optimal human-modified landscapes for forest biodiversity conservation (2020) in Ecology Letters
  • Support for the habitat amount hypothesis from a global synthesis of species density studies (2020) in Ecology Letters
  • Resolving the SLOSS dilemma for biodiversity conservation: a research agenda (2021) in Biological Reviews/Biological Reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society
  • A Severe Lack of Evidence Limits Effective Conservation of the World's Primates (2020) in BioScience
  • Intensification of açaí palm management largely impoverishes tree assemblages in the Amazon estuarine forest (2021) in Biological Conservation

Collaborations are a significant aspect of Arroyo-Rodríguez's research practice, often working with frequent co-authors including Ricard Arasa-Gisbert, Carmen Galán-Acedo, Marcelo Tabarelli, Ellen Andresen, and Bráulio Almeida Santos.
