Urban peatlands can harbour diverse insect communities but depend on appropriate habitat management

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Urban peatlands can support high insect diversity, including endangered species and peat bog specialists. Flower diversity boosts endangered species, while succession cover reduces overall insect richness—but bog condition and urbanization showed no major effects.

Bridging the implementation gap in MCABC inventory management: from a taxonomy to practical archetypes

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite increasing demands for resilient and sustainable supply chains, inventory management often relies on outdated single‐criterion analyses. While multi‐criteria ABC (MCABC) analyses provide a theoretically mature assessment of resilience‐sustainability‐benefit trade‐offs in inventory, their adoption remains limited due to fragmented ...

Deep reinforcement learning for multi‐restart metaheuristics: an environment design for a hybrid of unbiased exploratory search and covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Multi‐restart metaheuristics can be highly effective for complex optimization problems, yet their performance depends critically on how restarts and algorithmic parameters are selected. This paper introduces a reinforcement learning approach for managing restart‐level decisions and parameter configurations in the UES–CMA‐ES hybrid ...

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1735-1759, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy
