Mapping wild bee diversity and flower use for an effective conservation of the Doñana biodiversity hotspot

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We compiled the first checklist of wild bees in Doñana Protected Area, documenting 385 species, including three vulnerable and one endangered species listed in the Red List. Bee species exhibit diverse floral preferences, highlighting the need to incorporate plant–pollinator interactions and the role of plants in conservation and management strategies ...

On the importance of shelter availability for reptiles provided by burrow‐digging ecosystem engineers: A systematic review and a case study

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
In this article, we show that ground burrows influenced reptile populations inconsistently across both the 5‐year field study in the Kiskunság and the broader systematic review, which together revealed positive, negative, and neutral effects across species and habitat types.

THE FATHERS, COMPUTERS AND US

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay, designed as a complement to opinions expressed by Rowan Williams and some speakers at the conference in his honour, explores features of early Christianity which suggest a positive evaluation of artificial intelligence. Noting that the fear of reducing humans to machines has been joined in the modern age by the fear that machines ...

Resurveying Mediterranean coastal dunes: insights from the ReSarDu database [PDF]

Vegetation Ecology and Diversity
The vegetation resurvey is considered a valid approach for assessing how species composition, abundance, and distribution have evolved in response to anthropogenic pressures, climate change, and habitat alterations over recent decades. ReSarDu – Resurvey

Theologies of Mind: Eriugena and Pratyabhijñā Śaivism

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract Though Eriugena's affinities with several Hindu traditions are clear, this article offers to my knowledge the first detailed discussion of Eriugena's theology in relation to any Indic theological school, here, the nondualist Śaiva tradition known as the Pratyabhijñā (“Recognition”) lineage.

Sand dune restoration as sustainable natural architectural design for coastal protection along seasonal storm-prone beach

Results in Engineering
Monsoonal storms cause coastal erosion of worldwide sandy beaches, including coasts in Malaysia. Although hard engineering structures are effective in mitigating erosion, those constructions can create several environmental issues such as down-drift ...

Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

Underground allies: Mycorrhizal flexibility facilitates orchid occurrence in post‐mining landscapes

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Epipactis helleborine associates with largely habitat‐specific fungal communities, with limited overlap between mining and woodland sites, yet maintains comparable genetic diversity across habitats. These results highlight the role of mycorrhizal flexibility in enabling habitat shifts and expanding ecological niches in human‐altered landscapes ...

Wetland plant growth in recycled glass sand versus dredged river sand: evaluating a new resource for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Sand made from recycled glass cullet could supplement limited dredged river sand (dredge) in coastal wetland restorations; however, its suitability for wetland plants is unknown. In two experiments, we compared the biomass of several wetland plants in recycled glass sand to growth in dredge.
