Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Platform Business Model Innovation for Sustainability: A Framework for Industry 5.0 Integration
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A comprehensive framework is developed for adopting Platform Business Model Innovation (PBMI) to enhance sustainable performance in the Industry 5.0 (I5.0) era. While PBMI plays a growing role in corporate transformation, tensions persist between profit‐driven objectives and broader sustainability imperatives.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study addresses a significant research gap in the literature by systematically reviewing and synthesizing the interplay between social dynamics, environmental changes, and organizational innovation. Although prior research has explored these dimensions in isolation, the integrative framework remains lacking.
