ABSTRACT Groundwater depletion is a major challenge in semiarid, hard‐rock regions where irrigation demands often exceed natural recharge. This study evaluates the effectiveness of farm‐scale recharge pits as a local, supplementary, and community‐managed groundwater recharge solution in the Dharta catchment of Rajasthan, India. Alongside check dams and

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Xylem anatomy underpins the capacity of trees to transport water while avoiding hydraulic failure, shaping species performance and resilience to climate change. However, the specific ways anatomical traits underpin hydraulic trade‐offs in tropical forests remain debated.

Riparian forest buffers support biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and food webs in human‐modified landscapes, and dampen land‐use and climate stressors (sediments, nutrients, thermal maxima), motivating their wider use in management. These outcomes were regulated by the presence or size of mostly small, mature buffers and sometimes by proximity among

Evaluating synthetic substitutes to reduce illegal harvesting and support species recovery
Abstract Providing synthetic substitutes is a widely promoted strategy to shift consumer demand away from wildlife products derived from threatened species. Yet, there is little evidence on whether product substitution prevents illegal or unsustainable harvesting and contributes to the recovery of threatened populations.

Assessing differences among elasmobranch nurseries to aid conservation based on a genomics framework
Abstract Elasmobranch nurseries often differ in environmental conditions, demographics, and use patterns. These differences affect the distribution of genetic variation among nurseries. However, conservation and management strategies often fail to account for such differences because they are difficult to characterize.

In this study we measured the impact of access to sugar and hosts on the longevity and fecundity of six Trichogramma species: T. cacoeciae, T. chilonis, T. minutum, T. leptoparameron, T. pintoi and T. sibericum. The impact of food differed among species, but there was a general tendency of increased life expectancy and potential fecundity with sugar ...

Land‐use change and seasonality shape the taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity of fruit‐feeding butterflies in tropical dry forests. Pastures reduce phylogenetic diversity and increase wing fluctuating asymmetry, while taxonomic and functional diversity is greater in the wet season than in the dry season.

Concentração de nutrientes e intensidade de cor verde em miniestacas de eucalipto
Objetivou-se com o trabalho avaliar a influência da aplicação de doses crescentes de nitrogênio (N), em minijardim clonal, nas concentrações de macro e micronutrientes das miniestacas de Eucalipto urograndis e na intensidade de cor verde, visando utilizá-

Denning Phenology Mediates Sea‐Ice Loss Impacts on Early Reproductive Success in Polar Bears
Changes in overwinter sheltering phenology in response to climate change and their fitness consequences have rarely been studied. Here, we show that climate change has disrupted the phenology of overwinter maternity denning in polar bears, with females emerging from den earlier when sea‐ice had been scarce the preceding year.
