Using a social‐ecological macrosystems framework to understand how human activities alter ecological synchrony

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

THE EFFECT OF LOGGING ON SPECIES DIVERSITY AND EXOTIC SPECIES PRESENCE IN TEMPERATE HARDWOOD FOREST

open access: yes, 1999
Anthropogenic disturbance is linked to loss of global plant biodiversity through several processes, including habitat destruction and displacement by introduced species. I examined the relationship between disturbance severity, changes in plant diversity,

Differences in sensitivity of native and exotic fish species to changes in river temperature

open access: yesCurrent Zoology, 2011
This paper describes the effects that temperature changes in the Rhine river distributaries have on native and exotic fish diversity. Site-specific potentially affected fractions (PAFs) of the regional fish species pool were derived using species ...

‘They are not predators: They are a higher power’—Relational values and principles framing human–predator relationship in Noongar Country, Southwestern Australia

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human–predator coexistence presents urgent conservation challenges that demand approaches extending beyond mere conflict mitigation. Indigenous knowledge systems, though historically marginalised by Western science, offer vital insights into ethical, sustainable relationships with nature.

Systemic bio‐inequity links poverty to biodiversity and induces a conservation paradox

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity is declining globally while inequity is growing, and poverty rates are not improving. Global sustainable development and conservation initiatives aim to address biodiversity loss and poverty simultaneously. Through text analysis of global biodiversity policies, we identified a consistent narrative that countries with high ...

On the need for biocultural approaches to restoration

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological restoration is gaining global momentum for climate mitigation, yet its prevailing approach, often rooted in Western technical science, frequently appears neutral while inadvertently reinforcing power imbalances and sidelining local knowledge.

Insects and globalization: sustainable control of exotic species in Italian agro-forestry ecosystems

open access: yes, 2014
One of the negative consequences of globalization is the increased introduction of exotic pests into new areas. Italy, in particular, is at high risk of introduction, because of its geographical position and climate, which allows the settlement of (even ...

Designing for biodiversity data in place: Species, encounters, and interfaces

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Species occurrence data, which records the presence of an organism at a point in space and time, is central to environmental science and its opening up to new forms of participation such as citizen science. Such data are increasingly aggregated and mobilised, reaching diverse audiences.
