Taxonomic, Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity of Mammals Across a Nationwide Protected Area Network

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using camera‐trap data from 26 protected across Tanzania, we show that greater landscape heterogeneity and stronger protection are associated with higher mammal species richness and, in turn, functionally and phylogenetically richer mammal assemblages. Greater landscape heterogeneity appears to favour generalist species while stronger protection seems ...

Coinvasional disruptions to island pollinator networks

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biological invasions can adversely affect pollinator diversity by threatening the maintenance of animal‐pollinated plant communities. Although most studies have examined single invasive species, accelerating species introductions driven by global trade highlight the need to understand how multiple co‐occurring invaders jointly influence ...

Honeybees directly outcompete other flower visitors through interference competition on shared resource

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
The outcomes of encounters between honeybees and other flower visitors were observed on two plant species. Pollinators either win, lose or share a resource. Competitive interactions led to greater than expected ‘wins’ for honeybees. The honeybee displaced or gave chase when interacting with another pollinator in at least 20% of winning outcomes ...

LAND USE PLANNING FOR BEEKEEPING USING GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM IN SUKABUMI REGENCY, WEST JAVA

Journal of Natural Resources and Environmental Management, 2016
Beekeeping is one of the alternative businesses that can be developed without converting the existing land use. Deveoping the business of beekeeping should consider the biophysically suitable area for bees themselves and also for the bee forage ...

Navigating Challenges in Forming Grassroots Women's Groups: Exploring the Struggles of Building Collective Agency and Capabilities in a Rural Context

Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collective action is often treated as a desirable and scalable outcome of participatory initiatives, yet far less attention has been paid to the conditions under which collective agency fails to consolidate. This article examines how collective agency is initiated but ultimately unravels within a grassroots women's initiative in a rural ...

Protection status and environmental gradients shape butterfly assemblages in an East African tropical ecosystem

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Observed butterfly richness was highest in moderately protected areas. During the dry season, vegetation productivity increased butterfly richness while human population density reduced it. Moderately protected areas supported high butterfly abundance and a high proportion of host‐specialist species.

English Language Education in Rural Contexts: Examining Students’ Perceptions and Motivation Through a Contextually Grounded Extracurricular Program

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We conducted this case study in Türkiye to examine how a contextually grounded extracurricular program shaped rural students’ perceptions of English and their motivation to learn and use the language. Recognizing motivation as an equity‐related concern in rural contexts, where students may have limited opportunities to perceive the local ...

De la ruche-tronc à la ruche à cadres : ethnoécologie historique de l’apiculture en Cévennes

Revue d'ethnoécologie, 2016
On the grounds that beekeeping of the single domesticated honeybee looks at first sight homogenous throughout whole Europe, understanding the evolution of this activity at the very local level is generally overlooked.

Eight Years of Citizen Science Reveal Taxonomic Confusion Patterns and Dynamic Participation in the Monitoring of Vespa velutina in Spain

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) is a successful invasive species in Europe, where its monitoring is partially reliant on citizen science (CS) initiatives. While CS is a powerful tool for early detection, taxonomic confusion and fluctuating participant engagement can limit its effectiveness.
