Greater future range expansions in alien than native ant species

Oikos, EarlyView.
There is growing concern that many species may not be able to track suitable conditions under climate change and suffer range contractions as a result. At the same time, alien species introduced to novel geographic ranges are often assumed to benefit from climate change.

Hunting motivations, behaviour and forest access: Characterising wildlife hunting practices in a multi‐ethnic, forested landscape of Brunei Darussalam, Southeast Asia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Unsustainable hunting practices can alter population dynamics, driving biodiversity declines, which leads to ‘empty forests’. Understanding hunting behaviour, including motivations for hunting and relationships with market drivers, and access to hunting grounds are important to develop affirmative policies to stem biodiversity loss.

Why do we burn? Examining arguments underpinning the use of prescribed burning to manage wildfire risk

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Managing wildfire risk requires consideration of complex and uncertain scientific evidence as well as trade‐offs between different values and goals. Conflicting perspectives on what values and goals are most important, what ought to be done and what trade‐offs are acceptable complicate those decisions.

‘They are not predators: They are a higher power’—Relational values and principles framing human–predator relationship in Noongar Country, Southwestern Australia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human–predator coexistence presents urgent conservation challenges that demand approaches extending beyond mere conflict mitigation. Indigenous knowledge systems, though historically marginalised by Western science, offer vital insights into ethical, sustainable relationships with nature.

Integrating human acceptance into habitat suitability models for snow leopards in northern Bhutan

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Habitat suitability models are commonly used to assess the potential distribution of large carnivores by identifying ecologically favourable areas. However, these models often overlook human dimensions, such as conflict and acceptance, which can lead to overestimation of species ranges and a mismatch between predicted and actual distributions.

Enforcing environmental law in the Amazon

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract This article identifies the underlying obstacles to enforcement of laws against environmental crimes such as illegal logging, mining and ranching. With four departments (provinces) from Colombia as case studies, it assesses enforcement of the country's main environmental law, Law 2111, which is one of Latin America's strongest. The article has
