A graduated nativeness definition for overcoming dilemmas and difficulties of vascular plant species
Oikos, EarlyView.Nativeness is a concept central to biodiversity conservation and invasion biology, but there are several problems related to a classic binary nativeness definition. Dilemmas arise from the dynamic nature of species' distribution ranges on longer time scales, and difficulties arise in the application to smaller regions defined by arbitrary borders, and ...

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Long‐term time series on changes in the cryosphere are becoming increasingly important. This study presents data from 20 years of ground temperature monitoring from the eastern‐most confirmed permafrost site in the European Alps (Hochreichart, Austria) spanning the period 2004–2024.

How digitisation of herbaria reveals the botanical legacy of the First World War
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Digitisation of herbarium collections is bringing greater understanding to bear on the complexity of narratives relating to the First World War and its aftermath – scientific and societal. Plant collecting during the First World War was more widespread than previously understood, contributed to the psychological well‐being of those involved and ...

Catalysts for change: Museum gardens in a planetary emergency
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Natural history museums are often seen as places with indoor galleries full of dry‐dusty specimens, usually of animals. But if they have gardens associated with them, museums can use living plants to create narratives that link outside spaces to inside galleries, bringing to life the challenges facing biodiversity.

Moist convection and radiative cooling: Dynamical response and scaling
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.The mechanism that sets the updraught velocities in deep convective clouds is studied here using cloud‐resolving model simulations in radiative–convective equilibrium. We show that, for simulations with vastly different rates of radiative cooling and surface temperatures, the buoyancy in clouds remains remarkably constant (histogram shown here).

Thermal drone observations capture fine‐scale population decline of short‐tailed shearwaters
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Researchers used thermal drone technology to monitor short‐tailed shearwater colonies in Tasmania from 2019 to 2024, discovering a concerning 27% decline in chick numbers during this period. The study estimates that the global population of these seabirds has dropped dramatically by 41% since 1985, falling from 23 million to approximately 13.5 million ...
