The impact of tropical forests on local climate: Comparing recent research with conservation practitioner information priorities

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The local‐scale climate impacts of tropical forests (LCIF), such as reducing temperatures and increasing rainfall, are directly relevant to climate change adaptation and mitigation. Strengthening understanding of these local climate benefits can encourage actions to conserve natural forests, with positive implications for climate resilience ...

Reciprocal relations shape cultural landscapes: Women's environmental stewardship in Ait Bouguemez (High Atlas, Morocco)

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Mountain social–ecological systems encompass steep ecological gradients and diverse cultural practices, yet the relative roles of these factors in shaping mountain landscapes remain underexplored. In particular, the knowledge and practices of women in coproducing biocultural landscapes are often invisible in the academic literature. In the Ait

Habitat structure and the evolution of bird song: a meta-analysis of the evidence for the acoustic adaptation hypothesis

open access: yes, 2007
1. Habitat structure has been considered as a main factor shaping the evolution of bird song acoustics. 2. Based on expected differential patterns of sound degradation in different habitats, the acoustic adaptation hypothesis (AAH) proposes that songs ...

Designing for biodiversity data in place: Species, encounters, and interfaces

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Species occurrence data, which records the presence of an organism at a point in space and time, is central to environmental science and its opening up to new forms of participation such as citizen science. Such data are increasingly aggregated and mobilised, reaching diverse audiences.

Bird song recognition based on syllable pair histograms

open access: yes, 2004
Bird song can be divided into a sequence of syllabic elements. In this paper we investigate the possibility of bird species recognition based on the syllable pair histogram of the song. This representation compresses the variable-length syllable sequence

The Personalised Ecology Index: A novel measure of an individual's direct sensory interactions with nature

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity is under threat from human activities globally. The implications for human–nature interactions may be driving a vicious cycle—whereby less biodiversity means fewer human–nature interactions, less awareness of the importance of biodiversity and therefore greater human impacts.

Thin Fluoride Insulators for Improved 2D Transistors: From Deposition Methods to Recent Applications

open access: yesphysica status solidi (RRL) – Rapid Research Letters, EarlyView.
2D materials hold significant promise for next‐generation electronic and optoelectronic devices, but suitable gate dielectrics are still a challenge. Fluoride insulators, offering inert, dangling‐bond‐free surfaces, have recently emerged as strong candidates. This review covers recent publications on high‐quality fluoride thin‐film deposition and their
