Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.This paper demonstrates how choices on temporal and spatial modeling scales affect our understanding of species adaptation to changing environments, using tiger conservation in Nepal's Bardia National Park as a case study. We provide four novel recommendations for scale‐aware ecological modeling under global change: explicit documentation of scale ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract This study aimed to identify geographical distribution patterns of the giant short‐tailed river stingray Potamotrygon brachyura and the motoro stingray Potamotrygon motoro in the Uruguay River basin. Data on presence/absence of stingrays were based on fishers' knowledge accessed by interviews through expeditions in Brazil, Argentina and ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Temperature influences the distribution and performance of both plants and insect herbivores. Consequently, plant–herbivore interactions are likely to vary across thermal gradients, which could affect the evolution of plant defense. Furthermore, temperature fluctuations may elicit immediate changes in defense.

The Gradability of ‘Conscious’
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Are some creatures “more conscious” than others? A number of consciousness researchers have aimed to answer this question. Yet some have claimed that this question does not even make sense. They claim that “conscious” (in the phenomenal sense) never occurs as a gradable adjective, meaning an adjective that permits degree expressions (“more f ...
