Globally widespread weeds show preadaptation to non‐analogue climates: a common garden approach

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climatic niche shifts have been documented for plant species introduced into new regions, however the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Niche shifts into novel climates are particularly difficult to predict as previous occurrence data cannot reveal whether these novel climates are within species' fundamental niche limits.

Competition and soil conditions limit the growth of High Arctic non‐native plants

Oikos, EarlyView.
Non‐native vascular plant species in the High Arctic are currently restricted mainly to settlements and other anthropogenically disturbed areas. The reasons for this remain unclear, but climate or dispersal do not appear to be the main limiting factors. Instead, biotic interactions combined with soil conditions may play important roles.

Human–wildlife coexistence and social context: Evidence from farmer communities in southern Sri Lanka

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies on human–wildlife interactions (HWI) often focus on conflict mitigation studies, thus overlooking underlying factors that influence community decisions to coexist with wildlife. To address this knowledge gap, we collected empirical evidence of how community interactions with wildlife are shaped by their social contexts.
