Oikos, EarlyView.As habitats change, the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal increasingly depends on animal responses to altered structure and resources. With habitat loss and degradation accelerating across the tropics, understanding how dispersers' foraging behavior and movement influence seed removal and deposition is critical to promoting forest ...

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.

Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Understanding how local communities perceive and prioritise ecosystem services (ES) across diverse ecological contexts is essential for improving protected area (PA) management. However, most studies focus on single ecosystems and lack cross‐ecological comparisons. This study aimed to explore how communities living in and around PAs in Ghana's

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.This study presents a novel, nondestructive in situ method to quantify water ingress using near‐infrared absorption (NIRA) spectroscopy, calibrated with absolute water content via Karl–Fischer titration (KFT). The presented approach offers a powerful quality assurance and inspection tool for module manufacturers and solar developers, supporting ...
