PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Global legal frameworks seek to ensure that benefits arising from the use of biological resources are shared fairly, yet their practical application—particularly where plant materials and Indigenous knowledge are involved—remains challenging. This article presents a case study modelling a pathway for ethical research and commercialisation of Indigenous

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The global coffee industry, supporting 25 million smallholder farmers, is vulnerable to climate change. Diversifying the coffee species portfolio beyond Arabica and robusta is a promising intervention. Liberica coffee could provide adaptive capacity, although its climate parameters for cultivation are poorly known.

Using expert elicitation to predict feral cat, Felis catus, responses to management
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.We generated estimates of lethal feral cat management success for 864 scenarios, only 71 lethal management scenarios met a population reduction target of 57%. Cat‐targeted poison baits, in dry conditions and arid areas were most successful. Feral cat management requires continued adaptive strategies to reduce cat impacts.

The characteristics of squall lines in the Southeast Asia region
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Squall lines over the Maritime Continent were analysed using 20 years of IMERG GPM data and classified into four regional clusters. Significant regional differences were found in their size, intensity, lifespan, and propagation. Nighttime squall lines are primarily driven by the convergence of opposing offshore flows and the convergence of monsoonal ...

Science Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Curriculum materials can play an essential role to help teachers shift their instruction. However, curricular enactment does not look identical in every classroom, because teachers need to be responsive to their students. In this study, we investigated the customizations teachers made while enacting storyline science curriculum.

Additive‐Free Edge‐Functionalized Graphene Dough
Small, EarlyView.An edge‐functionalized, few‐layer graphene dough, synthesised directly from graphite, provides an additive‐free, processable graphene for moldable and printed electronic and magnetic applications. ABSTRACT The exploitation of graphene's extraordinary properties depends on finding new ways to synthesize and process it without disrupting its fundamental ...
