From Nature to Supply Chain: Exploring Biomimicry‐Based Pathways to Sustainability and Competitive Advantage

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inspired by insights gleaned from biomimicry theory, this paper addresses the persistent lack of theoretically grounded research in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and examines how nature‐inspired biomimicry principles could enhance various dimensions of its competitiveness. This study's theoretical contribution lies in its proposal

Climate Vulnerability and Sovereign ESG Performance: The Conditioning Roles of Adaptation Innovation, Institutional Quality and Robot Adoption

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intensification of physical climate risk presents a critical question for global sustainability governance: does exposure to climate hazards strengthen or weaken a country's environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance? This study investigates the relationship between climate vulnerability and country‐level ESG performance across

Combining paleoecology and modeling to explore cascading disturbances in forest ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate‐induced cascading disturbance interactions pose a major challenge to the sustainable provision of forest ecosystem services to society. Developing a deeper understanding and enhanced capacity to simulate these interactions is essential for identifying disturbance‐induced tipping points in forest ecosystems, and for improving management in ...

Wolves and humans both shape patterns of deer browsing in a temperate forest ecosystem of Central Europe

Ecography, EarlyView.
Predator–prey interactions can trigger behavioural responses in ungulates, influencing their space‐use and foraging behaviour and, in turn, indirectly affecting browsing pressure. Changes in browsing pressure can affect plant recruitment and species composition, shaping forest regeneration through predator‐mediated trophic cascades.

Long‐distance pollen transport mediated by migratory hoverflies

Ecography, EarlyView.
Long‐distance animal migrations shape ecosystems by redistributing nutrients, connecting populations, and mediating ecological interactions. However, the ecological contributions of many abundant insect migrants remain poorly quantified. Hoverflies are among the most numerous migratory insects and highly efficient pollinators, suggesting that their ...

Moving beyond spike detection: High frequency‐driven masking improves seizure onset zone localization in intracranial electroencephalography

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Interictal epileptiform spikes (IESs) are widely used biomarkers of epileptogenic tissue in presurgical epilepsy evaluation. However, their reliability for seizure onset zone (SOZ) localization in high‐density intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) remains inconsistent.
