Conservation gap analysis for wild grapevines (Vitis L.) of the Americas

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Wild grapevines (Vitis L.) native to the Americas are ecologically and culturally important plants that are also critical to the global cultivated grape industry as sources of traits for crop innovation, but many of these species are poorly documented and insufficiently conserved.

A Functional Flows Framework for the Terminal Great Salt Lake Basin: Can We Have Our Lake and Drink It Too?

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terminal basins provide unique aquatic environments that are often highly sensitive to streamflow contributions, making them a focal point for environmental water management. However, the water needs for terminal lake, wetland, and river ecosystems, and how they relate, remain a fundamental knowledge gap that constrains our ability to ...

Carbon VIX, Climate Risk and Financial Stability New Evidence From Developing Countries

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effects of the carbon VIX and climate risk on financial stability through the banking Z‐score in developing economies. Using the Dynamic Panel Threshold Model of 106 developing countries from 2012 to 2022, the results reveal that both carbon VIX and climate risk exert a significant negative influence on banking ...

Tourism as a Catalyst for Blue Carbon Restoration and Conservation: Pathways, Gaps, and Opportunities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tourism is a major driver of coastal economies worldwide, yet it is also a growing source of pressure on blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) such as mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes. Nowadays, tourism‐led conservation/restoration is increasingly promoted under the banner of regenerative tourism, but how these projects are motivated ...

Integrating molecular, phenotypic and environmental data to elucidate patterns of crocodile hybridization in Belize [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2015
The genus Crocodylus comprises 12 currently recognized species, many of which can be difficult to differentiate phenotypically. Interspecific hybridization among crocodiles is known to occur in captivity and has been documented between some species in ...
