Status and future of seed conservation of threatened plants in the post‐2020 era

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Ambitious targets have been set to backup seeds of threatened plants by the global strategy for plant conservation (GSPC), but it is unclear in how far these targets have been met and how seed collection should be organized to meet future challenges. Here, we provide an overview of the status of 44 countries in achieving seed conservation targets.

Perspectives and behaviors surrounding planting practices in North America inform genetic conservation realities for American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
American ginseng is a shade‐obligate, North American medicinal plant that is widely traded and used internationally. To meet global demand, ginseng is cultivated in forest farms in the Appalachian region of the USA and field‐based artificial shade farms in two regions: Ontario, Canada and Wisconsin, USA. We conducted social research leveraging in‐depth

Real‐Time Behavior Recognition Using a Legged Robot for Animal–Robot Interaction

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animal–robot interaction is an emerging interdisciplinary field that explores the dynamics between animals and robotic systems, as well as the design principles for effective engagement. While previous approaches have investigated animal responses to robotic stimuli, they have yet to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) for real‐time ...

Identification of initial vegetation and habitat changes in small temperate fens using remote sensing

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Temperate fens with only incipient, subtle signs of deterioration can be reliably identified using Sentinel‐2 and aerial imagery, which sensitively detect early productivity‐related structural changes. Abstract Small temperate fens rank among the most endangered habitats in temperate Europe.

Tourism Labor Market and the Attainment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals: Pending Challenges, Ongoing Opportunities and More Responsible and Inclusive Scientific Research for the Advancement of the Tourism Industry

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Concerning human resources, research in the tourism sector has traditionally focused on a personnel‐managerial perspective rather than a labor market‐condition analysis per se, limiting the examination of its unique working ecosystem and distinct socioeconomic particularities. This has evidenced an apparent thematic research gap in the tourism
