Strengths and complementarity of systematic conservation planning and Key Biodiversity Area approaches for spatial planning. [PDF]
In order to achieve Target 1 of the Global Biodiversity Framework there is a need to develop a biodiversity‐inclusive spatial plan for a country. We explore in this paper how criteria‐based approaches, such as the Key Biodiversity Areas programme, benefits the production of such plans and how they can be used to improve Systematic Conservation Planning

Hydrological Connectivity Enhances Fish Biodiversity in Amazonian Mining Ponds: Insights From eDNA and Traditional Sampling. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) expansion in the Madre de Dios region of the Peruvian Amazon has transformed primary forests into a novel wetland complex of thousands of abandoned mining ponds. Despite their ecological relevance, post‐mining recovery of these systems remains understudied, particularly regarding fish biodiversity ...

How to prioritize species recovery after a megafire. [PDF]
Abstract Due to climate change, megafires are increasingly common and have sudden, extensive impacts on many species over vast areas, leaving decision makers uncertain about how best to prioritize recovery. We devised a decision‐support framework to prioritize conservation actions to improve species outcomes immediately after a megafire.

Abstract Emissions trading schemes (ETS) have spread across the globe to tackle climate change. However, limited attention has been given to how ETS characteristics and designs differ and why. We use the concept of institutional complementarity to explore how the EU ETS and South Korea's ETS (K‐ETS) adapt to complement established political economy ...

Ecological and evolutionary effects of crop diversity decrease yield variability
Results highlight the ecological and evolutionary role of plant interactions in crop mixtures, which can affect yield stability, while also reflecting on the importance of climate and resource availability in modifying the diversity‐stability relationship.

Abstract The goal of this paper is to investigate the complementarity of three types of additionalities: input (growth of R&D investments), behavioral (changes in the internal processes of the entity), and output (leveraging social or private returns), occurring as the result of the 7th Framework Programme and Horizon 2020 European Union funds part ...

Abstract Motivated by the literature on reform complementarities and their importance for the effectiveness of central bank independence (CBI) reforms—particularly for African countries—where CBI has empirically not been found to have a significant impact on financial development, we explore the extent to which differences in literacy levels and ...

The effect of rare phytoplankton species losses on ecosystem functioning can be compensated by the persistent species when nutrient ratios are uniform, but leads to a decrease in ecosystem functioning under variable nutrient ratios. Abstract Positive biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) relationships are predicted to increase in strength when high ...

Collected worker experiences, knowledge management practices and service innovation in urban Norway
Abstract Knowledge‐intensive services firms prefer to locate in cities that provide access to rich information flows and abundant opportunities for learning‐by‐recruiting. Focusing specifically on such locations, this paper explores how innovation is associated with work experiences “collected” by employees through their recent career paths and the ...
