The Form of Agency

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Philosophers often think agency is essentially connected with rationality, intention, or control. However, Minimalists argue that agency is just the power to cause a change; acids and boulders are agents too. Many philosophers treat Minimalism as a wild outlier, assuming its falsity without argument.

Interactional Endocytosis and Transmembrane Transport Promote Cellular Internalization of Nano‐Delivered RNA Drugs for Efficient Control of Crop Diseases

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Botrytis cinerea is a widespread plant pathogenic ascomycete that causes grey mould in over 1400 species and impacts global crop yields. Double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA)‐induced gene silencing is a promising technology for pest control, but efficient delivery remains a major challenge.

Consistent root microbiomes across contrasting habitats in a wild perennial vine

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Communities of bacteria and fungi associated with the roots are similar across diverse habitats in a wild plant. Abstract While we are beginning to understand that the plant microbiome is important for plant health, we still lack information about how plant microbiomes are shaped across environments and how they influence plant performance, in ...

Incorporating burn probability into spatial prioritization of woodland caribou habitat restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Habitat disturbance is a major driver of population declines of woodland caribou in Canada. Habitat restoration is a critical component of a successful, long‐term approach to caribou recovery; however, with limited resources, it is important to target areas where restoration efforts will provide maximum benefits to caribou.

Integrating natural baselines into ecosystem restoration: scaling herbivore targets for European landscapes

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Herbivore‐mediated ecosystem processes are fundamental to biodiversity, yet have been greatly diminished by megafauna extinctions and replacement of wild herbivores by managed livestock. With increasing restoration ambitions—including the United Nations' (UN) Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and the European Union (EU) Nature ...

Drivers of invertebrate community assembly during ecosystem restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Ecosystems are complex multi‐trophic systems, and successful restoration needs to consider the mechanisms that underpin the reestablishment of biotic interactions. Critical to supporting this is improved understanding of the ecological processes that govern community assembly.
