Social‐ecological signatures in plant species composition across Swiss cities and urban green space types

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities can harbor greater plant diversity than other ecosystems, yet how city sociocultural factors may determine differences in plant composition across equivalent urban green space types remains understudied. Here, we compare plant communities in five main urban greenspace types across three Swiss cities representing the country's French (Geneva ...

Increased utilitarian value of invasive species in regions with long invasion history may limit public engagement for invasion control

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Positive perceptions of invasive species can hinder effective management, especially if management efforts that are rooted in scientific theories are misaligned with local ecological knowledge. We documented local ecological knowledge about land invasibility as predicted by invasion biology theories. Participants with greater local ecological knowledge

What If Cooking Isn't Chemistry? Examining the Good and the Harm in Metaphorical Connections Between Science and Everyday Activities

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This theoretical paper examines why we make claims like “cooking is chemistry,” what these claims mean, and what good or harm they accomplish. We make three interrelated arguments: First, the relationship between scientific and everyday practices is more complicated and less obvious than is often claimed; second, educators and scientists link ...
