Bridging Policy and Grassroots Action With Technology: A Framework for Civic Engagement in Environmental Sustainability

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grassroots and civic organizations are increasingly recognized as “middle actors” in sustainability, leveraging ICT‐driven solutions to bridge top‐down policies with bottom‐up citizen engagement and behavioral change. This study examines how civic organizations in Finland and Singapore integrate digital tools to support sustainable waste ...

Den attendance by Arctic foxes experiencing 10 years of increasing tourism

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife tourism is a growing industry, and an increasing number of people seek to observe and interact with wild animals in their natural surroundings. In Iceland, the native Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus is widespread and has been under heavy hunting pressure for centuries.

Neighbour identity hardly affects litter-mixture effects on decomposition rates of New Zealand forest species. [PDF]

, 2009
The mass loss of litter mixtures is often different than expected based on the mass loss of the component species. We investigated if the identity of neighbour species affects these litter-mixing effects.

Comparative Trends of Sociality Among Terrestrial Carnivores: A Multivariate Analysis 陆生食肉动物社会性的比较趋势:一项多变量分析

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
In this study we analyze the role of phylogeny, environment, and community structure on sociality. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) we aim to quantify the direct and indirect impacts of variables on behaviors including social grouping, reproduction, and space use among Carnivora species.

The ecology of gestational growth in a wild cooperative mammal

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using data from hundreds of wild pregnant meerkats, Thorley et al show that gestational growth varies widely, is shaped by nutrition but not social conditions, and improves pup survival without shortening telomeres. The fitness consequences and limited flexibility of prenatal growth likely enhance selection on early postnatal growth plasticity ...

Emerging Technologies for Remote Sensing of Floating and Submerged Plastic Litter

Remote Sensing
Most advances in the remote sensing of floating marine plastic litter have been made using passive remote-sensing techniques in the visible (VIS) to short-wave-infrared (SWIR) parts of the electromagnetic spectrum based on the spectral absorption ...

A capture–recapture framework for combining biologging data with physical captures to decompose and estimate demographic rates: Simulations across life cycles and application to polar bears

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating demographic rates of wild populations is critical to understanding their dynamics but can be challenging because large amounts of data are required, and parts of the life cycle of individuals may be unobserved. In numerous research programmes, capture–recapture (CR) data and biologging data are collected in parallel.
