Crisis Preparation, Capacity Building, and Community Resilience: Lessons From Maui

Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 2023 Maui wildfires provide a unique context to explore the impact of nonprofit crisis networks taking a proactive role in community crisis response, leveraging resources, expertise, and networks. The Hawaiʻi Community Foundation (HCF) has been a key player in Maui's local response, providing critical support, mobilizing volunteers, and ...

The dominance of non‐native plants over native plants increases with the number of global change factors

Oikos, EarlyView.
Global environmental change and plant invasion are both recognized as key indicators of the Anthropocene. Still, how the number of co‐acting global change factors (GCFs) influence invaded plant communities remains unclear, even though in nature GCFs usually act together rather than alone.

Inequalities in intraspecific plant–lemur interactions drive seed dispersal patterns

Oikos, EarlyView.
Biotic interactions occur between individuals and accumulate to shape species‐level interaction structure across a community. Skewed interaction structures, where a few individuals are highly connected and most have few interactions, are increasingly identified at the individual‐level.

Exploring consumer preferences for wild meat and other animal proteins in Gamba, Gabon: Implications for conservation and management of natural resources alongside extractive industry

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The town of Gamba in southwest Gabon represents an exceptional example of how the development of an extractive industry (in this case oil production) may impact wild meat consumption in an area of global importance for biodiversity. Studies in the 1990s identified an active wild meat trade; however, no studies have been undertaken since, and ...

Behavior of a Novel Cyclic Olefin‐Based Hot‐Melt Adhesive in CFRP Adhesive Joints Compared to Conventional Epoxy‐Based Structural Adhesives

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Rate‐dependent performance of composite adhesive joints using thermoset and thermoplastic adhesives, in terms of toughness and fatigue behaviour. ABSTRACT A recently developed hot‐melt adhesive (HMA) based on cyclic olefin chemistry, supplied as a transparent, non‐tacky thermoplastic film with a distinctive polymer microstructure, was evaluated in this
