Looking for evidentiality (and mirativity) in Bantu
Although Bantu languages are not known for having grammaticalized and obligatory systems of evidentiality, research is uncovering more and more evidential contrasts and evidential strategies, as well as expressions of related categories like mirativity.

ABSTRACT Causalists contend that you see a specific object (rather than a lookalike, or no object at all) because that object sits at the beginning of an appropriate causal chain that terminates in your visual experience. We argue that neither standard causalists nor their non‐causalist opponents can adequately accommodate a striking asymmetry between ...

Balkan high‐mountain fens harbour unique endemic plant communities, with a west‐to‐east compositional gradient and local richness primarily shaped by palaeoclimate. As these fens have already experienced drier, warmer summers than at present, they may withstand climate change if actively and effectively protected. Abstract The phenomenon of Balkan high‐

Abstract Introduction Wet grasslands and fens are biodiversity‐rich ecosystems whose structure and functioning are shaped by disturbance, productivity, and hydrological conditions. Their persistence depends on management. Although mowing is widely used to maintain these habitats, its long‐term effects on species diversity and community composition ...

The Aquatic warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola) is the rarest songbird of continental Europe and a fen mire specialist. The systematic drainage in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries resulted in the loss of almost all fen mires in the breeding range. In our conservative and cautious estimate, we assume that the total historical population was around ...

Climate benefits of wetland restoration are constrained by slow vegetation recovery
Abstract Introduction Wetland restoration is widely used to enhance ecosystem resilience, biodiversity, and climate mitigation. However, restoring hydrology may not lead to rapid vegetation establishment or reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in severely degraded wetlands.

A climate‐sensitive tropical urbanism under extreme heat†
Tropical urban dwellers face twin climate challenges that impinge on their quality of life: climate overheating and the urban heat island (UHI). The latter superimposed on the former to lead to high levels of thermal discomfort, carbon and energy consequences.

ABSTRACT This paper introduces transboundary spanning as a novel concept for social movement analysis. Using Extinction Rebellion (XR) in the United States as a case study, we examine the relational dynamics of social movement boundary spanning: processes wherein actors and organizations engage across symbolic boundaries.
