Impactos del desplazamiento forzado sobre el sector agrícola: el caso colombiano

Wilmer Vladimir Ferrer Vargas (2021, [Tesis de maestría])

La intensificación del conflicto civil colombiano tuvo como una de sus peores consecuencias el desplazamiento forzado. El propósito de este trabajo es estudiar el impacto del desplazamiento forzado en el sector agrícola colombiano. Con este fin, se estudiaron las características de los principales cultivos. Para responder a esta pregunta se estima un modelo panel de efectos fijos de para todos los municipios de Colombia entre 2011-2016. Los resultados muestran que el desplazamiento forzado tiene efectos negativos principalmente en las unidades familiares y estos efectos se amplifican en presencia de mercados ilegales.

Rapid effects of marine reserves via larval dispersal

Richard Cudney Bueno (2009, [Artículo])

Marine reserves have been advocated worldwide as conservation and fishery management tools. It is argued that they can protect ecosystems and also benefit fisheries via density-dependent spillover of adults and enhanced larval dispersal into fishing areas. However, while evidence has shown that marine reserves can meet conservation targets, their effects on fisheries are less understood. In particular, the basic question of if and over what temporal and spatial scales reserves can benefit fished populations via larval dispersal remains unanswered. We tested predictions of a larval transport model for a marine reserve network in the Gulf of California, Mexico, via field oceanography and repeated density counts of recently settled juvenile commercial mollusks before and after reserve establishment. We show that local retention of larvae within a reserve network can take place with enhanced, but spatially-explicit, recruitment to local fisheries. Enhancement occurred rapidly (2 yrs), with up to a three-fold increase in density of juveniles found in fished areas at the downstream edge of the reserve network, but other fishing areas within the network were unaffected. These findings were consistent with our model predictions. Our findings underscore the potential benefits of protecting larval sources and show that enhancement in recruitment can be manifested rapidly. However, benefits can be markedly variable within a local seascape. Hence, effects of marine reserve networks, positive or negative, may be overlooked when only focusing on overall responses and not considering finer spatially-explicit responses within a reserve network and its adjacent fishing grounds. Our results therefore call for future research on marine reserves that addresses this variability in order to help frame appropriate scenarios for the spatial management scales of interest. © 2009 Cudney-Bueno et al.
