Food predictability determines space use of endangered vultures: implications for management of supplementary feeding.
2013
Understanding space use of free-living endangered animals is key to inform management decisions for conservation planning. Like most scavengers, vultures have evolved under a context of unpredictability of food resources (i.e. exploiting scattered carcasses that are intermittently available). However, the role of predictable sources of food in shaping spatial ecology of vultures has seldom been studied in detail. Here, we quantify the home range of the Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus), a long-lived raptor which has experienced severe population decline throughout its range and is qualified as endangered worldwide. To this end six adults were tracked by satellite telemetry in Spain d…

Consumer selection of vegetarian food in restaurants
2015
Development, which began from agricultural and industrial revolutions has improved and eased human lives on this planet. But the massive growth of the human population has caused some serious environmental impacts on our planet. Millions of hectares of forests have been converted into arable land, fresh water resources are decreasing and oceans are getting overfished, while the demand for food continues to grow. Agriculture is the most important contributor to the climate change and global meat production sector causes more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere than transport. By reducing the consumption of meat and increasing the proportion of vegetables in human diets, the environmental impa…
La gastronomía bien templada. La cocina quechua
2005
Un acercamiento al léxico sobre cocina en lengua quechua nos podría proporcionar algunas claves sobre su importancia en tiempos del imperio inca y sobre la que tiene, en el momento presente, la cocina patrimonial del Perú . No hace mucho un hablante de quechua nos decía convencido : " Piru llaqta wayk'uyninqa sumaqnin" (" la cocina de Perú es realmente exquisita").
Las lenguas como patrimonio : el principio de prioridad
2000
El primer paso en todo aquello que comprende el ámbito patrimonial es el reconocimiento de la herencia recibida. Luego hay otros: su conservación y ampliación y finalmente su transmisión a los descendientes.Todo esto ha sucedido con el quechua y el aimara en Perú, como si la lengua fuera ajena a los bienes nacionales. Es tan sagrada una piedra de Machu Picchu como una palabra de estas lenguas: tan importante es el lntiwatana, anteayer descubierto y hoy lacerado, como el significado de sus dos lexemas juntos lnti "sol", watay "atar, calcular su recorrido".

La formation du comportement de plainte chez le consommateur: recherche exploratoire chez des usagers de restaurants
2008
La investigación que se presenta aborda el proceso de formación del comportamiento de queja del consumidor. El objetivo general es profundizar en la naturaleza de este tipo de respuesta a la insatisfacción, describiendo su formación a partir de la contribución de un conjunto de variables investigadas en la literatura. Partiendo de que el comportamiento de queja agrupa tres tipos de respuestas (de queja, a terceras partes y privadas), analizamos el efecto que tiene el nivel de insatisfacción, la probabilidad de éxito de la queja, la importancia de la situación y las actitudes hacia la queja. Las relaciones causales estudiadas entre estos determinantes y los comportamientos de queja han permi…
Cat Cafés and Dog Restaurants
2018
Starting from the assumption that space is a language and that food is also a language, what we will try to show in this paper is how these two languages, together, carry specific concepts of animality. For this reason, we will focus on two different places of food consumption that place animals at the centre of their proposal and that in recent years have spread in urban environments: cat cafes, where cats are conceived as subjects to pet, endowed with a predominantly emotional value, and dog restaurants, where dogs are in fact the real restaurant clients.
