Long unobserved and recently discovered: towards a better understanding of protected‐area species dynamics using curated species lists

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Protected areas are designed to shield populations from harmful human impacts. However, in the face of global climate change, a static approach to conservation within these areas is neither feasible nor desirable. One key measure of ecological change at this scale is the arrival of new species and the local extinction of others. Despite strong interest

Shifting baselines increase the risk of misinterpreting biodiversity trends

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Ecological studies quantifying the impact of land‐use change on biodiversity may be sensitive to the choice of reference points – or baselines – particularly when sampling across human land‐use gradients and other space‐for‐time comparisons. Much depends on whether the chosen baseline has already undergone shifts in species composition because of ...

Tracing the origins and evolution of nymphalid butterflies (Lepidoptera) in the Atlantic Forest

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Understanding the relative roles of diversification and dispersal is key to explaining large‐scale biogeographical patterns. Although both processes are known to shape biodiversity, their relative contributions remain understudied for many organisms. Here, we examine how these processes have jointly contributed to the exceptional diversity and endemism

Nature‐Based Solutions for Climate Adaptation: Review of Barriers to Adoption and Guidelines for Policymakers

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NBS) for climate adaptation encompass a range of approaches that work with nature to increase resilience to climate change while providing ecological, economic and social co‐benefits. These solutions have frequently been put forward for application in urban contexts, such as the creation of urban forests, but can ...

Our Little Garden

open access: yesJournal of Anthropological Films
Our Little Garden explores in the hustle of Santiago de Chile's megacity how gardeners of different ages have found a respite, a connection to the soil and a community in an organic urban garden at the edges of the capital city.

Bisinis belong olgeta mere long Honiara, Solomon Islands = Informal activities of the women of Honiara, Solomon Islands : 31.798 research project presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Master of Philosophy in Development Studies at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Solomon Islands' women in the Urban Informal Sector (UIS) seem to be invisible to the policy makers both from the perspective of their contribution and their needs. Although government programs aim at assisting small scale entrepreneurs, women as a group

Assessment of Maladaptive Exercise History Among Individuals With Eating Disorders: Validation of a Brief, Self‐Report Measure

open access: yesEuropean Eating Disorders Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Maladaptive exercise is a common symptom of eating disorders (EDs). While several measures exist to assess current maladaptive exercise, there are no validated self‐report tools to assess maladaptive exercise history—an important symptom domain among individuals with lifetime EDs.

Inconsistent Transcriptomic Responses to Hexabromocyclododecane in Japanese Quail: A Comparative Analysis of Results From Four Different Study Designs

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract Efforts to use transcriptomics for toxicity testing have classically relied on the assumption that chemicals consistently produce characteristic transcriptomic signatures that are reflective of their mechanism of action. However, the degree to which transcriptomic responses are conserved across different test methodologies has seldom been ...
