Synthesis of Pollinator‐Friendly Management in European Protected Areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Effectiveness of pollinator‐friendly management in European protected areas. Abstract Pollinators are important to humans and nature due to their role in ecosystem functioning and services. Research on the effects of pollinator management in protected areas is insufficient compared with that on farmlands and urban areas, potentially hindering ...

Bovines, buffers and barriers: A social scientific perspective on rewilding in the Kavango‐Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Rewilding is often summarized with the three C's of Carnivores, Cores and Corridors. In this essay we propose a complementary perspective that focuses on the three B's of Bovines, Buffers and Barriers. This complementary perspective draws attention to rewilding as a social (rather than only ecological) challenge and is illustrated with insights from ...

BumbleBEEP: A Sensor System for Bumblebee Colony Monitoring

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We present a bumblebee colony monitoring system, BumbleBEEP. The system is fitted with thermometers and a custom weight sensor. These record data up to every 15 min, recording bumblebee brood nest temperature, environmental ambient temperature, and colony growth.

Persistence without prosperity at the upper range margin: Elevation, microhabitat buffering and biotic pressure in a range‐expanding spider

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic linear features facilitate high‐elevation colonization. Parasitoid pressure declines markedly with elevation. Cocoon damage increases despite reduced parasitism at high elevation. Abstract The upper elevational range limits of thermophilic arthropods reflect constraints on population persistence rather than simple presence.

Motivation of agroecology for biodiversity conservation in China: a juxtaposition of traditional knowledge and modern ecology in tea farmers’ practice

Ecology and Society
In the context of tea agroecology, farmers’ motivations for participation are typically discussed in the context of shifting from conventional management, with less emphasis on direct biodiversity conservation.

Unreachable, Inescapable: Sustainable Development as Normative Camouflage in EU–MERCOSUR Trade

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how sustainable development functions as a mechanism of stabilising asymmetry in North–South trade governance, using the European Union (EU)–Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) agreement as a case study. Whilst sustainability is often framed as a normative good or institutional advance, the article shows instead how it ...
