Life‐history traits predict the ability of British wild bees to fill their climate envelopes
Many species of wild bees in Great Britain do not fill their entire suitable climate envelope. Life‐history traits, including habitat breadth, pollen foraging specialisation and body size influence how much of their climate envelope a species can fill Large, generalist species face fewer, or are better able to overcome, barriers to dispersal.

ABSTRACT Applying environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to samples from waterholes and their surroundings offers a promising approach for monitoring terrestrial vertebrates in semi‐arid and arid ecosystems, such as the southern African savannas. However, minimal guidance exists on key sampling design parameters for terrestrial ecosystems, which can ...

Evaluating Investment in Space Programs: A Case for Theoretical Pluralism
ABSTRACT A perennial question repeatedly asked since the early Mercury (USA) and Salyut (then Soviet Union) space programs has been variations on the theme of “how can the cost of space exploration be justified?” This question—which in broad terms constitutes the research question considered in this paper—continues to be directed toward space agencies ...
