Seeing both the forest and the trees: An automated workflow for ultra‐high‐resolution drone imaging of tropical canopies

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Tropical forest canopies host diverse tree and liana assemblages, yet key foliar and reproductive traits needed for taxonomic identification of canopy plants are often difficult to see from the forest floor, creating a bottleneck in inventories.

Modern pollen rain of an upland area: implications of pollen dispersal for interpreting palaeoenvironmental records

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
A long‐term perspective on landscape evolution is critical for understanding past land‐use activity, land cover–climate feedbacks and, notably, for establishing a factual basis for conservation. Fossil pollen analysis provides a means to achieve this. Biases pertaining to pollen productivity, pollination processes and basin size, however, mean there is

Comparing screening outcomes for private sector nature‐related assessments based on national and global biodiversity datasets

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In response to demand for better biodiversity stewardship from the private sector, frameworks such as the Taskforce on Nature‐related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) have been developed to help companies assess, manage, and disclose their nature‐related impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities.

Early outcomes of England's new biodiversity offset market

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Nature markets are being operationalized as a tool to address the biodiversity finance gap and achieve global biodiversity targets. However, there is limited understanding of how the outcomes of these markets align with biodiversity targets.

Forest edges buffer effects of agricultural management on bee–plant interaction networks

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Agricultural management effects: Organic and conventional crop margins host similar bee and plant species, but network structure differs: organic farms exhibit higher interaction diversity, conventional farms higher connectance. Role of forest edges: Native forest edges stabilize bee–plant networks by providing continuous floral resources and suitable ...

Fletcheria gen. nov. (Ralfsiales, Phaeophyceae): A new crustose brown algal genus clarifying evolutionary relationships of Ralfsia pacifica

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The genus Ralfsia was historically broadly circumscribed but has recently undergone significant taxonomic revision. Based on molecular data, a restricted Ralfsia sensu stricto was delineated that had many species reassigned to new genera and families.

California's vernal‐pool mousetails (Myosurus, Ranunculaceae): Phylogenetic analysis of ddRADseq data, hybridization tests, and species delimitation

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We present the first phylogenetic analysis of the Californian species of Myosurus. Our ddRADseq analysis reveals considerably more diversity than what was recognized in recent floristic treatments. Myosurus minimus subsp. apus was found to be a rare species restricted to Southern California and northwestern Baja California.

The power of choice: how early performance of tree species may shape direct seeding for tropical forest restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The success of direct seeding depends on appropriate species selection. Understanding the geographic and taxonomic distribution of species used, along with their performance profiles, can inform more effective restoration outcomes.

Ground mammal colonization of restored wildlife corridors in the tropical uplands of north‐eastern Australia

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Since European settlement, Australia's Wet Tropics bioregion has been extensively cleared, leaving a mosaic of rainforest fragments, crops, pastures, orchards, and human settlement. Fragment isolation leads to declines in faunal diversity and genetic variability, effects potentially exacerbated by climate change. Restoring habitat
