Pathways to care in pinyon–juniper woodlands: Insights from Indigenous‐led monitoring and a public survey

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation decisions often require navigating tensions among ecological, cultural, economic and social priorities. While debates frequently centre on single‐species outcomes, less is known about how care for landscapes may contribute to co‐stewardship.

Contextually conspicuous species are more likely to be venomous: Habitat‐dependent aposematic colouration found throughout snakes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Conspicuous colouration signals venomous nature throughout snakes. Abstract Many animals use conspicuous colours to advertise their unprofitability to potential predators, a phenomenon known as aposematism. For example, conspicuous banded patterns in snakes are often highlighted as aposematic signalling of their venomous nature.

The Big Picture: Religion and Global Comparative History

Journal of Religious History, EarlyView.
This article considers what a ‘big picture’ approach to global religious history might look like, and in particular the implications of deploying the comparative method across much larger stretches of time and space than historians normally attend to. It will begin by reflecting on the epistemological moods that have hindered this project to date, the ...
