VOID URBANISM: Unbuilt New Cities and State Formation in the Democratic Republic of Congo

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Based on an analysis of the planning process behind Kitoko City in the Democratic Republic of Congo—a new city project officially launched in 2019 but never implemented—this article examines the political, social, and spatial effects generated by urban initiatives that remain at the stage of intention. It investigates how such unbuilt projects

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

Genomic Evolution and Immune Contexture With Therapeutic Relevance in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Lineage‐dependent immunogenomic landscapes and biologically informed therapy in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms. Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms display lineage‐dependent immunogenomic landscapes, in which genomic alterations, epigenetic states, antigen‐presentation status, immune‐cell infiltration, and suppressive microenvironments co‐evolve ...

Mosaic of biological soil crusts and vascular plants contributes to the spatial heterogeneity of key soil properties at different successional stages of restored inland sand dunes

Plant and Soil
Abstract Background and aims Inland sand dunes constitute Natura 2000 habitat that has become a priority to ensure biodiversity protection and habitat heterogeneity at the landscape scale; however, without proper management, spontaneous succession leads to overgrowing of trees and thus to habitat degradation ...

Twelve principles for successful governance of community‐based coastal marine restoration

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Global agreements, such as the Global Biodiversity Framework, call for urgent, large‐scale action to halt biodiversity loss through a whole‐of‐society approach. Community‐based restoration can play a crucial role in achieving this goal, yet there remains limited understanding of what makes these projects effective and sustainable.

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 ...
