Technical wildness: Modernity, romanticism, and the technocratic turn in Scottish rewilding

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Technical wildness is a new and increasingly influential culture of nature. This paper marks its emergence in Scotland in the early 2020s. Focusing on Scotland's rapidly evolving land management sector, the paper traces how private rewilding companies position science‐led land management and natural capital markets as the most effective ...

Path‐Based Deep Reinforcement Learning for On‐Board Routing in Satellite Constellation Networks

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient usage of available network resources is a crucial factor for broadband services in interconnected satellite constellations. To meet required quality of service standards under heavy network loads, it is essential to optimize traffic distribution among the intersatellite links. To address this challenge, we propose an adaptive traffic

Tracing Three Decades of Low Earth Orbit Satellite Communication Development: A Bibliometric and Main Path Analysis of Network Architectures, Protocol Evolution, and Emerging Intelligent Services

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communication systems have evolved into a critical component of global broadband networks, enabling wide‐area connectivity, IoT services, and intelligent multilayer satellite–terrestrial integration. Despite rapid advancements in constellation deployment, routing mechanisms, resource management, and LEO–5G/6G ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Does Economic Growth Drive Equitable Water and Sanitation Access? Assessing Inequality Reduction Across 64 Nations

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines whether economic growth reduces inequalities in access to water and sanitation across 64 countries over an average period of 13.5 years. Drawing on disaggregated data by income quintiles and rural–urban location, and employing ordinary least squares (OLS), two‐stage least squares (2SLS), and Seemingly Unrelated Regression

Leverage Points for Meaningful Participation: A 5‐Point Framework From a Rural South African Landscape

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alternative forms of natural resource management are required. Participation of local actors is necessary but not sufficient, for moving away from the conventional top‐down approaches. This paper develops a 5‐point framework for enabling meaningful participation in rural landscape governance.

Minimal impact of spotted hyenas on livestock and endangered species in a prey‐rich ecosystem

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The diet of large carnivores is of great interest to conservation managers, as it can reveal the extent of human–carnivore conflict and the impact of carnivores on species of high conservation priority. Metabarcoding of environmental DNA can identify species and is often more reliable than observational or morphological methods, particularly when it ...

MultiRobot Motion Planning Based on Diffusion and Time–Space Path Planning

Artificial Intelligence for Engineering, EarlyView.
This diffusion‐based framework for multirobot motion planning reuses a pretrained single‐robot Motion Planning Diffusion model, employing an alternating trajectory generation scheme guided by inter‐robot collision costs, resulting in coordinated planning without additional multi‐robot training.

Multi‐Vine Disease Prediction in a Field Test Spanning Whole Growth Season at Wine‐Industrial Site (McLaren Vale)

Artificial Intelligence for Engineering, EarlyView.
Overall, the findings provide reliable evidence for block‐level disease early warning, inspection prioritisation, and spray decision‐making, helping to reduce unnecessary inputs, lower environmental burdens, and improve the resilience and sustainability of vineyard production systems.

Distributed computing for the reconstruction of multi‐terabyte tomographic X‐ray imaging datasets

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
As tomographic datasets from synchrotrons continue to increase in volume, so rises the challenge of reconstructing said data. Here we present a solution utilizing high‐performance computing capabilities to split the process into multiple smaller tasks, which can be solved without overwhelming a single compute node.
