Why we age

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimising fitness in ageing; and optimisation theories, which posit that evolutionary forces actually select for ...

The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a key driver of global environmental change and presents animals with novel stressors and challenges. It can fundamentally influence social behaviour and has the potential to reshape within‐ and between‐species social interactions. Given the role of social behaviour in reproductive fitness and survival, understanding how social

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Environmental Credit Risk, Climate Change and Bank Performance: Evidence From a Global Panel of Banks

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of environmental credit risk on bank financial performance, with a particular focus on the moderating role of country‐level climate risk. Using a global panel of 345 listed banks across 75 countries from 2018 to 2022, we measure environmental credit risk through Fitch Ratings' Environmental Relevance Scores.
