Spectacled Flying‐fox conflicts—tucker, totem, taunt and threat 眼镜狐蝠的冲突——食物、图腾、挑战与威胁
Flying‐foxes worldwide have suffered population declines, including the Spectacled Flying‐fox of north‐east Australia which experienced a population crash of over 75% in <15 years. Persuading people that the Spectacled Flying‐fox is important, even vital for the rainforests and tall forests that they love, takes engagement, narrative and story‐telling.

ABSTRACT Bengaluru, a primary metropolitan centre in India, is currently grappling with the dual crises of urban flooding and severe groundwater depletion. These challenges are driven by rapid urbanization, which has seen built‐up areas increase from 42% to 86% over two decades, resulting in a dramatic loss of vegetation and wetlands.

Generation cycles in experimental populations of a multivoltine insect
Although theory suggests various mechanisms by which environmental and ecological factors may drive generational fluctuations, our field‐cage experiment is the first to demonstrate how internal dynamics and external disturbances jointly produce synchronised, large‐scale outbreak cycles.

We collated detections of the sun bear from new and previously published camera trap studies across its range. We then analysed these detections at two different spatial scales to assess the habitat associations and diel activity of this species. We found that the sun bear is tolerant to moderate habitat disturbances. ABSTRACT Degraded tropical forests,

Occurrences of dust storms and long‐distance movement of dust across landscapes is constantly increasing in south Asia. This dust is expected to have profound impact on vegetation health and sustainability as dust may contribute to nutrient budgets of the forest ecosystems, while it could impart various stresses to the plants.

Multiple global change factors alter the scaling of nitrogen to phosphorus in alpine plants
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The stoichiometry and allometry of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) reflect nutrient absorption and dynamic allocation by plants, and can be regulated by global change factors (e.g. nitrogen enrichment, climate warming and altered precipitation). Yet, how multiple global

Abstract Marine protected and conserved areas (MPCAs) are promoted as an ecosystem‐based adaptation (EbA) approach to increase community and ecosystem resilience to climate change. However, traditional approaches to MPCA design typically do not consider climate risk or habitat condition under a climate threat.

Predicting Democracy Support in the Middle East and North Africa
ABSTRACT Democracy support among Arab citizens has decreased noticeably in the past decade. The Arab Barometer data demonstrates more than an average of 15–30 points drop‐in democracy support depending on the country considered. The present research utilizes the seventh wave data set offered by the Arab Barometer conducted between October 2021 and July
