From the brink of extinction to regulation: northern Europe's white‐tailed eagles now face density dependence and climate constraints after rapid population growth

Oikos, EarlyView.
Population growth reflects the combined influence of regulation and density‐independent factors operating through demographic processes. Under exceptional circumstances (e.g. populations recovering from near‐extinction), growth may initially be weakly regulated but typically slows as negative density dependence (NDD) sets in.

Habitat‐based spatial patterns enable realistic reconstruction of plant spatial arrangements across complex landscapes

Oikos, EarlyView.
Spatially explicit individual‐based models provide a powerful way to explore spatial dynamics when direct observation is not feasible. But for many ecological applications, these models require detailed data on the initial spatial arrangement and traits of individuals – information rarely available in large, heterogeneous or novel landscapes.

Greater future range expansions in alien than native ant species

Oikos, EarlyView.
There is growing concern that many species may not be able to track suitable conditions under climate change and suffer range contractions as a result. At the same time, alien species introduced to novel geographic ranges are often assumed to benefit from climate change.

Using participatory scenario planning to explore the synergies and trade‐offs from upland treescape expansion

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The future of land use in the UK uplands is highly debated, with growing interest in increasing tree cover and other land use changes, alongside a desire to maintain traditional land use patterns and practices. Treescape expansion is likely to result in synergies and trade‐offs between different outcomes, so integrating stakeholder preferences

Climate adaptive energy efficiency modeling using a generalized additive approach to optimize building performance across Chinese climate zones

Scientific Reports
Accurate measurement and verification (M&V) of energy efficiency measures (EEM) in commercial buildings is a key requirement to improve energy performance and meet sustainability goals. Research suggests a new method to M&V EEM using generalized additive

Using a social‐ecological macrosystems framework to understand how human activities alter ecological synchrony

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

The Arrival of Exome Sequencing in French Prenatal Diagnosis: An Exploratory Qualitative Study Among Professionals in Prenatal Diagnosis Centers: Prenatome‐SHS

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Following the first French multicenter pilot study (AnDDI‐Prenatome) focused on the implementation of prenatal exome sequencing (pES), this ancillary study aims to explore the ethical and clinical issues raised by pES within multidisciplinary prenatal diagnosis centers.

Predicting self‐reported injury status among runners training for the New York City Marathon

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Although numerous studies have examined risk factors and prevention strategies for running‐related injuries, few have rigorously tested predictive models. Objective To describe injury patterns throughout marathon training and assess the feasibility of machine learning (ML) models in predicting upcoming weekly running injury status ...

Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

Exploring Costa Rica's fungal trends: Insights from digitized specimens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fungi are essential to tropical ecosystems but remain largely absent from conservation agendas. By analyzing over 78,000 fungal records from Costa Rica—a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot—this study reveals key patterns in fungal diversity, distribution, and seasonality.
