Building blocks of polycentric governance

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 475-499, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Success or failure of a polycentric system is a function of complex political and social processes, such as coordination between actors and venues to solve specialized policy problems. Yet there is currently no accepted method for isolating distinct processes of coordination, nor to understand how their variance affects polycentric governance ...

Conserving urban tropical biodiversity by connecting networks of green patches 连通绿地斑块, 保护热带城市生物多样性 Memulihara biodiversiti tropika bandar dengan menghubungkan rangkaian tompok kawasan hijau

Integrative Conservation, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 80-94, June 2023., 2023
The objective of this study is to characterise ecological connectivity for mammals and identify important patches and linkages for connecting urban green spaces for Greater Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Our results demonstrate the potential for Southeast Asian megacities to support biodiversity in the urban context, and the potential for a different kind of ...

Comparing spatial conservation prioritization methods with site‐ versus spatial dependency‐based connectivity

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Larval dispersal is an important component of marine reserve networks. Two conceptually different approaches to incorporate dispersal connectivity into spatial planning of these networks exist, and it is an open question as to when either is most appropriate.

Application of decision tools to ethical analysis in biodiversity conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Achieving ethically responsible decisions is crucial for the success of biodiversity conservation projects. We adapted the ethical matrix, decision tree, and Bateson's cube to assist in the ethical analysis of complex conservation scenarios by structuring these tools so that they can implement the different value dimensions (environmental ...

Threatened species are disproportionately important interactors in a seed dispersal network in Southeast Asia 东南亚地区濒危物种在种子散布网络中扮演着关键性角色

Integrative Conservation, Volume 1, Issue 1, Page 25-39, December 2022., 2022
The rainforests of Southeast Asia have a high diversity of animals, many of which eat fruit and disperse the seeds of forest plants. Several large‐bodied species occur in these forests; these animals are predicted to have especially important seed dispersal roles but are also among the species most threatened by defaunation.

“I think it’s communication and trust and sharing everything”: Qualitative evidence for a model of healthy intimate relationships in Black women living with HIV and men in KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa

Family Process, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 1507-1524, December 2022., 2022
Abstract In South Africa, couple‐based interventions (CBIs) have been used to increase HIV testing, reduce HIV transmission, and shift relationship dynamics. To understand local definitions of healthy relationships, this study sought to collect qualitative data on a model of healthy relationships in a semi‐rural area of KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa.

Adapting a Coparenting‐Focused Prevention Program for Latinx Adolescent Parents in a School Context

Family Process, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 91-107, March 2022., 2022
The current study utilized a three‐step cultural adaptation process to adapt a universal‐coparenting program for Latinx adolescent parents in a school‐based setting. First, focus groups were conducted with adolescent parents (n = 13; 100% Latinx; 69% female), their parents (n = 17; 94% Latinx; 82% female), and school staff (n = 7; 71% White; 100 ...

Tree species richness differentially affects the chemical composition of leaves, roots and root exudates in four subtropical tree species

Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 1, Page 97-116, January 2022., 2022
In the BEF‐China experiment, metabolomics samples were collected from four different species and three organs (a). The metabolomes are species and organ specific (b), and the metabolome specificity is attributed to different chemical classes (c). Tree species diversity affects the metabolome composition (d), but more controlled interaction experiments ...

Ru‐Ag Dual Atom Sites for Methane Detection Enabling Intelligent Thermal Runaway Warning in Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Early detection of thermal runaway (TR) is essential for lithium‐ion battery (LIB) safety, as unchecked TR risks catastrophic failures in energy storage systems. Gas‐based sensing offers a faster and more direct approach by detecting decomposition products at the molecular level.

A Molten Salt Strategy to Convert Bulk Nb2O5 Into 2D Nonlayered Niobium Nitride Nanosheets for Superior Pseudocapacitive Storage

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Two‐dimensional (2D) nonlayered niobium nitrides have attracted considerable interest for electrochemical energy storage. However, the synthesis of these materials is hampered by their nonlayered crystal structures, which are characterized by strong three‐dimensional chemical bonding.
