Is the US Moving Toward Autocracy? A Critical Assessment
Politics &Policy, Volume 53, Issue 3, June 2025.ABSTRACT Using the theory of incremental autocratization, I illustrate in this commentary that recent developments in the United States perfectly align with this theory. In the analytical framework I use, incremental autocratization consists of six distinct step: (1) societal turmoil, (2) a proposition of radical change, (3) an electoral victory as ...

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 10-19, March 2025.Brief summary: Urbanization is leading to “Nature‐deficit Disorder” that threatens children's health and the sustainable development of humanity. This study implements a new solution—the Mini Botanical Garden, which integrates some of the functions of botanical gardens into community green spaces to popularize nature education in the city.

Large seeds as a defensive strategy against partial granivory in the Fagaceae
Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 3, Page 598-607, March 2025.Large seeds dispersed by scatter‐hoarding granivores, such as Fagaceae acorns, tolerate partial damage to achieve higher dispersal efficiency. By demonstrating that seed size itself acts as a defensive trait, the findings provide new insights into seed size diversity and evolution, highlighting how large seeds counterbalance reserve losses to evade ...

The (complex) effect of internet voting on turnout: Theoretical and methodological considerations
Policy &Internet, Volume 16, Issue 3, Page 607-627, September 2024.Abstract The adoption of remote internet voting can be a rather complex reform. In theory and praxis, geographical units can either decide to adopt or not to adopt i‐voting. Those that adopt it can differ in the mode of i‐voting adoption (i.e., internet‐only voting, or also in‐person voting), and the timing of adoption (i.e., some geographical units ...

An assessment of future rewilding potential in the United Kingdom
Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, August 2024.Abstract Restoring ecosystems is an imperative for addressing biodiversity loss and climate change, and achieving the targets of the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. One form of restoration, rewilding, may have particular promise but may also be precluded by requirements for other forms of land use now or in the future.

Dutch landscapes have lost insect‐pollinated plants over the past 87 years
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 1323-1333, June 2024.This study implies that Dutch landscapes are losing insect‐pollinated plant species, which is likely due, at least in part, to the decline in pollination services. Our results of quantifying the decline in insect‐pollinated plants support the necessity and urgency of taking conservation initiatives.

The importance of equity in payments to encourage coexistence with large mammals
Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.Abstract Large mammals often impose significant costs such as livestock depredation or crop foraging on rural communities, and this can lead to the retaliatory killing of threatened wildlife populations. One conservation approach—payments to encourage coexistence (PEC)—aims to reduce these costs through financial mechanisms, such as compensation ...

A standard approach for including climate change responses in IUCN Red List assessments
Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List is a central tool for extinction risk monitoring and influences global biodiversity policy and action. But, to be effective, it is crucial that it consistently accounts for each driver of extinction.

Flexibility trade‐offs in conservation offsets
Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 1, February 2024.Abstract Conservation offsets promise cost‐effective conservation of biodiversity, especially under economic and environmental change, because they represent a more flexible approach to biodiversity conservation, allowing for the economic development of ecologically valuable land provided that this development is offset by restoration of previously ...
