Thallus hydrophobicity: A low‐cost method for understanding lichen ecophysiological responses to environmental changes [PDF]
Abstract Premise Methods to evaluate lichen thalli hydrophobicity have previously been described, but only recently has hydrophobicity been shown to be an important functional trait related to water regulation dynamics that could be used to predict future climate change effects. We describe a novel protocol to measure lichen thallus hydrophobicity that

The role of cell size in shaping responses to oxygen and temperature in fruit flies
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The body size of an animal is strongly coupled to key ecological traits such as fecundity, mortality and growth. Ectothermic animals mature at smaller body sizes in warmer conditions and under low oxygen availability (hypoxia).

Decision‐making traps behind low regional absorption of Cohesion Policy funds
Abstract Within European Cohesion Policy, some regions manifest chronic problems with absorbing structural funds, probably due to inadequate administrative capacity. Despite the continuous assistance to improve capacity and the accumulation of learning and experience, poor performances still persist in some territories, rendering the initial ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract One of the suggested mechanisms behind the success of non‐native plants in recipient ecosystems is competition avoidance with natives by means of different resource‐use strategies, such as deeper water uptake under dry conditions.

The role of nutritional impairment in carbon‐water balance of silver fir drought‐induced dieback
Declining silver fir trees show lower foliar concentrations of essential nutrients such as P, K, Cu and Ni than non‐declining trees. This nutritional impairment exacerbates and amplifies the negative effects of drought on tree functioning and growth, considering the relationship of tree nutritional status with water‐use efficiency and growth resilience

Abstract The international business literature recognizes the central role of knowledge and learning as key determinants of the internationalization of firms. While the stages model underlined the influence of experiential learning, new research has shown that there are also other relevant types of knowledge acquisition, which can be structured ...

Is carbon dioxide removal ‘mitigation of climate change’?
Abstract Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is often characterized as separate from climate change mitigation. Discussion of CDR governance – despite enjoying growing interest – tends to overlook how key provisions on mitigation apply. Similarly, many climate policy processes have ignored CDR.
