Improved Cerrado Wetland Mapping Through Seasonal Moisture Metrics, Terrain Information and Semantic Segmentation

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Brazil's Cerrado valley wetlands—swamp savanna and gallery forest—are highly important for the biome's water cycle and carbon storage and are susceptible to degradation from the impacts of land use expansion and the climate crisis. In support of their detailed monitoring and assessment, we developed and tested a transferable mapping approach that ...

From Ambition to Authenticity: How Transparent Sustainability Practices Rebuild Stakeholder Trust

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stakeholder trust is central to advancing sustainable development, yet it is increasingly strained as corporate sustainability commitments expand faster than verifiable performance. This study examines how authenticity and transparency in corporate sustainability practices influence the formation and maintenance of stakeholder trust under ...

Monolithic integration of SiC diode detectors into scanning X‐ray microscopy optical elements for in situ beam diagnostics

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
Silicon carbide detectors are monolithically integrated into order‐sorting apertures and center stops for in situ soft X‐ray beam diagnostics in STXM. Functionalized components enable simultaneous monitoring of incident beam intensity and the transverse position at sample‐relevant locations without degrading optical performance.Reliable monitoring of ...

Trait variation driven by tree size more than environment and shows limited translation to species vital rates

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Functional traits are expected to predict vital rates and performance outcomes because they mediate how organisms interact with the environment. However, trait‐based models often have poor predictive power for tree species survival and growth.

Bat community assembly in the ecotone of two neotropical biodiversity hotspots is determined by environmental filtering rather than historical factors

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that environmental filtering is the primary mechanism shaping bat communities across the Cerrado–Atlantic Forest ecotone. By integrating phylogenetic diversity, environmental gradients, and coevolutionary assembly models, our study provides new insights into the processes maintaining biodiversity in a globally important transition zone ...

Managerial Myopia and Corporate Biodiversity Risk: Disclosure, Concern and Risk

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent evidence shows that 70% of market participants view biodiversity risk as financially material, yet only 3.8% of firms provide meaningful biodiversity disclosure. We ask why this gap persists and whether managerial short‐termism explains it.

Glass-Aluminium Partition Walls with High-Damping Rubber Devices: Seismic Design and Numerical Analyses

Buildings
An innovative solution for aluminium-glass partition walls that can withstand seismic actions without damage is presented. The key feature characterising the proposed innovation is a dissipative coupling between the components of the partition wall, i.e.,

Entrepreneurial Orientation Under Female Family Leadership: Zooming in on Only‐child CEOs and Generational Dynamics in Family Firms

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper revisits the entrepreneurial orientation–performance relationship in family firms by examining why entrepreneurial orientation yields uneven performance returns. Drawing on entrepreneurial orientation research, upper echelons theory and gender role theory, we argue that the effectiveness of entrepreneurial orientation depends on the
