Needle in a haystack: Holocene history of European larch in Central Europe revisited

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Defining nativity of species is crucial for their management. However, this is a complex task, especially for species that have been used and spread by humans for a long time. We combined paleoecological records with extensive genetic data to investigate the Holocene history of European larch—a common and economically important tree species in Central ...

FLSea: Underwater Visual–Inertial and Stereovision Forward‐Looking Data Sets

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Visibility underwater is challenging and degrades as the distance between the subject and the camera increases. That is why forward‐looking underwater computer vision tasks are difficult. We have collected underwater forward‐looking stereovision and visual–inertial image sets using two underwater imaging platforms, a stereo camera rig, and an ...

Reliability of Manual Counting for Thermal Census of Bats Within Human‐Made Structures

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Bats have a critical role in ecosystems worldwide, but monitoring their populations remains challenging, particularly in complex roosts within human‐made structures. We examined the reliability of manual bat counts from thermal infrared video, a method widely used to estimate populations and evaluate computer vision censusing approaches.

A Hero's Journey to Systemic Change: Developing Expertise in Agricultural Development

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Experts in rural development and agrarian change wield considerable influence over programme design and delivery, directing resources and shaping trajectories towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Yet the pathways through which such expertise develops remain under‐examined. This study examines the journey to expertise among experts

Influencer Credibility and Responsible Tourism: A Study of Ecotourists' Economic, Socio‐Cultural, and Environmental Responsible Behaviors in Sarawak

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The tourism sector faces pressing sustainability challenges, especially during crises. The rural communities reliant on ecotourism remain vulnerable, highlighting the need for responsible tourism. This study integrates social cognitive theory (SCT) and the elaboration likelihood model (ELM) to examine how self‐efficacy and outcome expectation ...

Water Losses and Environmental Efficiency in Urban Water Supply Systems: A Comparative Assessment for Spain and Portugal

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water losses are a critical environmental and operational challenge, especially in regions exposed to increasing water stress. This study assesses the environmental productivity of municipal water supply services in Spain and Portugal during the period 2014–2022, explicitly treating losses as an undesirable output.

Designing for unanticipated uses: How product attributes shape community‐led exaptation

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Users often discover new uses for products that firms may later commercialize, which we call community‐led exaptation. We examine how product attributes shape users' discovery of new functions versus new functionalities. Using 1925 IKEA product hacks, we find that modularity increases the likelihood of new functions.

Colloidal Behavior of Carbonate Particles Microbially Precipitated in Microfluidic Droplets

Small, EarlyView.
In Microbially Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICP), ureolytic bacteria trigger calcium carbonate precipitation via pH‐increasing urea hydrolysis. This enzymatically driven reaction induces the colloidal assembly of bacteria and carbonate particles into fractal networks.

“Just My Presence, Just Using These Words Is Not Enough”: Shifting from Identity‐Based Inclusion to Structural Transformation in Language Education

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This study focuses on 17 in‐service language teachers who graduated from a social justice‐oriented MA program in Teaching Languages to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and Teaching Foreign Languages (TFL) at a US higher education institution. Drawing on multiple data sources that connect participants' pre‐service and in‐service experiences,

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.
