Planting for healthy air: Urban biodiversity enhances natural chemical environments
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Cities urgently need nature to improve public health, support biodiversity, and increase resilience to climate change. Yet not all green spaces offer the same benefits. In this study, we show that more diverse urban plantings create richer “chemical environments”; subtle, naturally scented atmospheres formed by plant emissions that can influence how ...

Beyond the nature-culture dichotomy: a proposal for Evolutionary Aesthetics
Aisthesis, 2015 Human aesthetic preferences towards a certain landscape type, a certain bodily traits of the opposite sex, a figurative style rather than another, are embedded in what we call “aesthetic experience”, a complex network of instinctive reactions, emotions ...

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

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 ...

Aesthetic Design Using Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms [PDF]
, 2011 The use of computational methodologies for the optimization of aesthetic parameters is not frequent mainly due to the fact that these parameters are not quantifiable and are subjective. In this work an interactive methodology based on the use of multi-objective optimization algorithms is proposed.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and

Evolutionary ecology of hares (Lepus spp.) from northwest Africa: the existence of cryptic species and description of a new species (Lepus saharae sp. nov.) [PDF]
, 2019 Objective: We examine the different pressures that lead to the occurrence of new species and thus to their phylogenies. From an evolutionary ecology perspective, we examine the phylogenetic relationships of different lineages, as well as the evolutionary

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Integrating eco‐design practices in product development from the start is essential for fashion accessories like bags and backpacks, which involve complex manufacturing, diverse materials, and strong socio‐cultural meanings. Building on this premise and drawing from the Lifecycle Design Strategy Wheel, this study aims to characterize the eco ...
