Time Driven Activity‐Based Costing and Social Life Cycle Assessment: An Integrated Framework for Social Sustainability Accounting

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Integrating sustainability not only into corporate strategy and product design is essential to address pressing global challenges. This study proposes a framework that integrates social life cycle assessment (S‐LCA) into time‐driven activity‐based costing (TD‐ABC) to manage both social and economic issues by assessing social impacts across ...

Climate‐driven resource availability drives medium‐ and broad‐scale temporal changes in owl–prey interactions over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem

Ecography, EarlyView.
Predator–prey interactions are vital to ecosystem functioning but may be disrupted by climate change. We investigated a food‐web network involving three owl species over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem at Bosque Fray Jorge National Park, Chile.

Human pressure, habitat heterogeneity and species traits jointly determine the level of dark diversity in coastal fish communities

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how anthropogenic pressures and environmental gradients shape coastal fish communities is a central question in biogeography and marine conservation. Yet, the set of species expected to occur at a site given ecological conditions but being absent – the so‐called dark diversity – has received far less attention than observed species, even ...
