Broad support for lethal control of wild deer among subscribers of nature organisations in England and Wales

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild deer populations are increasing across the northern hemisphere, posing challenges to the environment and people. Deer impacts can be managed using lethal and non‐lethal practices, but research suggests lethal control receives mixed support.

Bushmeat consumption frequency and preferences among rural households in a West African savanna landscape: Implications for food security and conservation

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources.

Diet Composition Explains Interannual Fluctuations in Reproductive Performance in a Lowland Golden Eagle Population

open access: yesDiversity
Food supply stands out as one of the most critical drivers of population demographics by limiting reproductive rates. In this study, we assessed fluctuations in diet composition and monitored various reproductive parameters over a nine-year period in a ...

How digitisation of herbaria reveals the botanical legacy of the First World War

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Digitisation of herbarium collections is bringing greater understanding to bear on the complexity of narratives relating to the First World War and its aftermath – scientific and societal. Plant collecting during the First World War was more widespread than previously understood, contributed to the psychological well‐being of those involved and ...

Herbarium digitisation sheds light on historical distribution and drivers of population extinction of a peat bog specialist

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biodiversity loss threatens ecosystem services and human well‐being. Understanding the extent and causes of changes in biodiversity over time can help protect species and their habitats. Herbaria house carefully documented and curated specimens collected by generations of botanists.

“Hare-lip” in Earthworms [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1893
ATTENTION has recently been drawn by Prof. Andrews (American Naturalist, September, 1892) and myself (Science Gossip, 1892) to some abnormal conditions of life among the terrestrial annelids. I have now to place on record a totally new appearance, which is, I think, very aptly expressed by the term “hare-lip.” The worm which I have had under ...

Open‐land‐derived agroforestry and effects of abandonment of management of the main crop on ecosystem services and woody plant diversity

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Tropical forests are rapidly declining. One promising strategy to reverse the loss of tropical forest is the establishment of agroforestry on open land. We combined interviews with biodiversity surveys to learn general lessons from success and nonsuccess stories of the establishment of open‐land‐derived coffee agroforests in one of the world's ...

A synergistic alliance between nematophagous fungi and organic matter against plant‐parasitic nematodes: a systematic review

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Certain beneficial fungi are widely used to control harmful nematodes in crops, especially when combined with organic matter. Together, they improve soil health, support plant growth, and enhance nutrient cycling. This natural partnership offers a promising, environmentally friendly approach to strengthening sustainable agriculture and reducing ...

Financial Inclusion for Smallholders: Integrating a Resource Nexus Approach Into Agricultural Finance Systems

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smallholder farmers remain structurally excluded from the current agricultural finance system. Existing research in this area examines financial inclusion through fragmented environmental, social, and economic lenses, limiting system‐level understanding.
