Early detection of plant community responses to climate warming along mountain roads

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Plants are rapidly shifting to higher elevations along mountain roads in Switzerland. These shifts result in a significant community warming of 0.13°C within 10 years. However, because species gained or lost in communities tend to have low cover, this signal is only detectable in unweighted estimates of community‐inferred temperatures—highlighting the ...

Phenological selection mosaic of predispersal seed predation affects gender variation in an andromonoecious plant

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Spatiotemporal variation in seed predation can act as a selective force on floral gender. The floral sex allocation of an alpine andromonoecious herb varied among local populations. Early‐flowering populations suffered from intensive seed predation by moth larvae, where male‐biased sex allocation was advantageous in reducing the risk of oviposition. In

Comparison of genetic and phenotypic variations in disjunct populations of highly polyploid Betula davurica in the Japanese Archipelago with continental populations in a region of northeast Asia

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, EarlyView.
Betula davurica is widely distributed in continental regions of northeast Asia but is disjunctly distributed in the Japanese Archipelago. Disjunct Honshu populations are genetically divergent from continental populations in a continuously distributed region in Primorye although disjunct Hokkaido populations are not divergent. These disjunct populations

Victorian Women and the Gendering of Mountaineering in the Alps

open access: yesGender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the gendered segregation of Victorian mountaineering, highlighting how societal norms sought to confine women to passive roles within the alpine landscape. As Elizabeth Le Blond declared, ‘there is no manlier sport in the world than mountaineering’, encapsulating the pervasive attitudes of the era.

SAND, PLANTATION URBANISM AND THE EXTENDED POLITICAL ECOLOGY OF INFRASTRUCTURES IN INDIA

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Recently, large parts of India and the global South have witnessed widespread sand extraction from rural sites for urban infrastructure projects, causing extensive environmental damage. Critical scholarship has theorized these sites as new extractive frontiers that facilitate the needs of green energy transitions and planetary urbanization. In
