Pavonia fretensis sp. nov. (Malvaceae) from the Horn of Africa hotspot

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The new species Pavonia fretensis is described, illustrated by photographs and mapped. It occurs in coastal localities on both sides of the Bab al Mandab Strait and is known from southern Yemen, Eritrea and northwestern Somalia. The species differs from Pavonia rotundifolia from eastern Ethiopia and northern and central Somalia by having stellate ...

Habitat loss reshuffles ecological and evolutionary interactions in a seed dispersal network

Oikos, EarlyView.
In tropical forests, habitat loss reshapes species composition, favoring generalists and recently emerged lineages while specialists and older evolutionary lineages are lost. However, how changes in species ecological attributes and evolutionary history affect ecological processes is poorly explored.

Partial recovery of large seed arrival following ecological restoration in fragmented tropical rainforests

Oikos, EarlyView.
Forest restoration success depends crucially on the reinitiation of ecological processes such as seed arrival that drive natural regeneration. We know little about whether, by increasing and diversifying local seed sources to alleviate seed limitation, and attracting animal frugivores to alleviate dispersal limitation, restoration could shift seed ...

Mechanisms and impacts of future plant invasions: research agendas and management needs under disruptive social‐ecological change scenarios

Oikos, EarlyView.
No‐analogue futures are characteristic of the Anthropocene, but how global change, and societies' responses, will affect plant invasions remains unclear. Conducting research now to address future needs is crucial for guiding invasion management and policy.

Building the Freshwater Network: A new approach to the identification of freshwater biodiversity hotspots and restoration opportunities in England and Wales

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Existing water environment policy, mostly focused on the siloed management of large waters, has not succeeded in restoring freshwater biodiversity in England and Wales.

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.

Transforming a Poaching Hotspot: Embedded NGO Governance Between State and Community in Southern China

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how a local environmental NGO in southern China transformed Guantouling Hill, once a prominent poaching hotspot along the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, into a recognised model of community‐based biodiversity conservation.
