The obsolescence of protected area categories in a polycrisis world

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current global conservation models face significant limitations in addressing the global polycrisis, and the constraints of the International Union for Conservation of Nature protected area (PA) classification system are part of the issue. The principles of the new conservation paradigm—governance, equity, and interculturality—are not viable ...

Risking Response‐Ability

Educational Theory, EarlyView.
Abstract “Risking response‐ability” names the risky pedagogical work of being addressed by humans and more‐than‐human others alike, and of finding ourselves called to respond. In this article, I bring Gert Biesta's account of “pedagogical risk” into conversation with Donna Haraway's notion of “response‐ability,” arguing that education's force lies in ...

The former distribution of White‐tailed Eagles in Iberia, the Mediterranean and the Middle East: a case study of the importance of understanding historical distribution in informing current conservation and restoration interventions

Ibis, EarlyView.
The importance of considering historical data in developing conservation and restoration measures for individual species and for wider ecological restoration has been pointed out by recent reviews but often remains neglected in practice. This paper provides a case study illustrating the issue through a review of the former breeding distribution of the ...

Forest cover influences the movement and behaviour of GPS‐tagged Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos): insights from flight characteristics and perch site selection

Ibis, EarlyView.
Habitat selection can vary substantially depending on species‐specific and behaviour‐specific resource requirements. Identifying these resources and gaining a detailed understanding of their importance can inform effective conservation actions and contribute to assessing the impacts of environmental change.

Taxonomic and functional patterns of arthropod succession after glacier retreat in the Dolomite Alps

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Arthropod succession after glacier retreat varied among species and forelands in the Dolomites Alps, with community composition shaped by glacier identity, time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions. Functional composition shifted from small, highly dispersive pioneer species to larger, less dispersive taxa, reflecting increasing ...

CrustCheck: a conceptual framework for interpreting biocrust trait–function relationships in drylands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

High and dry: the persistence of diverse coastal marsh communities depends on available upland area and connection to surrounding waters

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Sea‐level‐rise and alterations to natural hydrology have contributed to coastal land loss. To combat coastal land loss and maintain the ecosystem services provided by marshes, marsh creation has been broadly implemented. Marsh creation projects can be performed in conjunction with the construction of elevated terrestrial ridges that seek to mimic ...

Rare Earth Element Potential in the Araí Rift Metavolcanic, Central Brazil: Gamma‐Ray Signatures, Mineralogy and Exploration Implications

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although central Brazil hosts significant ion‐adsorption rare earth element (REE) deposits associated with A‐type granites, their coeval volcanic counterparts have been largely overlooked as exploration targets. This study demonstrates that acidic metavolcanic rocks of the Araí Group share strong radiometric, geochemical and mineralogical ...

Selected Physical and Geotechnical Properties of Loess in Wairarapa Valley, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Loess up to 10 m thick covers marine terraces, old river aggradation terraces, and gentle hill country slopes in Wairarapa, New Zealand. In the drier eastern and southern parts of Wairarapa, the loess is subject to dry summer and autumn and wet winter and spring in most years.

A Robust AHP–GIS Based Flood Susceptibility Mapping Using Stochastic Hill‐Climbing Algorithm

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Flooding is one of the most frequent and devastating natural hazards affecting urban areas globally, leading to considerable social, economic, and environmental impacts. In the present study, a novel framework for flood susceptibility mapping is proposed using the stochastic Hill‐Climbing (SHC) method in the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP ...
