Automating the analysis of public saliency and attitudes toward biodiversity from digital media

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Measuring public attitudes toward wildlife provides crucial insights into human relationships with nature and helps monitor progress toward Global Biodiversity Framework targets. Yet, conducting such assessments at a global scale presents challenges.

Home ranges, feeding sites, and daily movement behavior of the highly threatened Livingstone's fruit bat revealed through GPS tracking

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Livingstone's fruit bat GPS tracks during day‐ and nighttime on Anjouan, Comoros, identifying likely feeding sites. Abstract The highly threatened Livingstone's fruit bat, Pteropus livingstonii, is endemic to only two islands of the Union of the Comoros, a country with some of the highest deforestation rates worldwide.

Colonization and extinction lags drive non‐linear responses to warming in mountain plant communities across the Northern Hemisphere

Ecography, EarlyView.
Global warming is changing plant communities due to the arrival of new species from warmer regions and declining abundance of cold‐adapted species. However, experimentally testing predictions about trajectories and rates of community change is challenging because we normally lack an expectation for future community composition, and most warming ...

Where water meets rock: Ecological niches and diversity hotspots of hygropetric beetles in the Neotropics

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
First continental‐scale synthesis of hygropetric beetle diversity and distribution across Neotropical highlands. Climatic and topographic gradients structure regional assemblages and niche overlap. Ecological convergence suggests adaptation to similar conditions across disjunct regions.

The differential effects of prevention and restrictive policies in crises: What can we learn from the COVID‐19 pandemic?

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This study aims to investigate the impact of lockdown and vaccination policies on business confidence in Europe, offering insights for future pandemic responses. Our research confirms that vaccination significantly boosts business confidence and mitigates the negative effects of lockdowns.

Enhancing the Evidence for Care in Underserved Bleeding Disorders Communities

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Major advances in haemophilia care have not translated equitably across all populations. Individuals with rare bleeding disorders (RBDs), people living in low‐ and lower‐middle‐income countries (LMICs) and women and girls with inherited bleeding disorders (WGWBD) continue to face significant diagnostic, therapeutic and research ...
