Defining the pollinator garden: is conceptual flexibility a feature or a bug?
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Ecologists often aim to reduce conceptual ambiguity by attempting to create rigid shared lexicons. These efforts imply that ambiguity is undesirable. In some contexts, however, conceptual flexibility comes with under‐discussed benefits. Here, we use the lens of pollinator gardening to explore how conceptual flexibility is built into participatory ...

Potential for conflict between urban coyotes and people experiencing unsheltered homelessness
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Across North America, both unsheltered homelessness and human–coyote (Canis latrans) conflict are increasing, but the relationship between these phenomena has not been thoroughly explored. We synthesize literature‐based evidence with anecdotal observations that occurred during a 15‐year study of coyotes in Edmonton, Canada, to describe three likely ...

Legacy effects of redlining on the distribution of greenspaces in US cities
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.We investigated how a discriminatory housing policy—redlining—has shaped the spatial patterns and configurations of greenspaces throughout 177 cities in the contiguous US. Housing segregation has been a long‐term development practice that has sequestered communities of color to areas with elevated environmental and public health risks.

Managing for resilience with ecological structure: Portfolio effects in the Laurentian Great Lakes
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Combined effects of global change, including land conversion, biological invasions, and overexploitation, have degraded the resilience of ecosystems and the services they provide. Here, we identify key ecological structures and processes that can be targeted by management to improve resilience at scales ranging from single species to entire landscapes.
