Cotton facilitates long‐distance seed dispersal by functioning as nest material for birds

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Cotton (Cossypium) fibres, which grow naturally in bolls around the seeds of cotton plants, have been used for centuries to produce fabric. The presumed natural function of cotton is that these lightweight and fluffy fibres may support wind dispersal of the seeds inside.

Intermediation Work for Localization: The Role of a Place‐Based and Multi‐Stakeholder Meta‐Organization

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Localization is the process of adapting and developing international aid to suit local contexts. Thus, localization involves paying attention to the relations between organizations and local actors receiving development aid. One key question that has not, as yet, been satisfactorily answered is how to collectively organize localization to ...

Speciation with gene flow

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biodiversity is threatened by human activities, with extinction debt accumulating rapidly. Many of these activities change the connectivity of populations, fragmenting existing population systems or bringing previously isolated populations or species into contact.

A structurally localized ensemble Kalman filtering approach

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We derive an inherently localized ensemble Kalman filtering (EnKF) approach, avoiding the need for any auxiliary localization technique. The idea is to first use the variational Bayesian optimization to approximate the (continuous) state analysis probability density function (pdf) by a product of independent marginal pdfs corresponding to small ...

Programmed unmanned aerial vehicles show great potential for monitoring marine megafauna in specific areas of interest

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Targeted conservation measures are contingent on robust knowledge of spatio‐temporal animal distribution in areas of interest. We explore unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transect monitoring as a novel method for standardized digital aerial surveys of marine megafauna by investigating the fine‐resolution spatio‐temporal distribution of harbour porpoises ...

Ontologies for Sustainability: Theoretical Challenges

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The lack of sustainable practices in key sectors of human societies is a global concern, posing threats for the whole planet. This paper provides the first review of ontologies for sustainability efforts, outlining their roles in assessing and advancing such efforts. Section 2 outlines three major challenges associated with sustainability: (1)

Reframing FDI Motivations Through OLIP: Explaining Private Engagement for Sustainable Development in PPPs

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The drivers of firms' participation in fragile markets have become increasingly complex. Under such conditions, the conventional explanation focusing on incentives within the OLI framework—ownership, location, and internalization advantages—proves insufficient.
