What climate adaptation can learn from evolutionary adaptation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Evolutionary and climate adaptation both describe how complex systems respond to environmental change, either via natural selection or deliberate human choices. Although adaptation in both contexts is expected to produce favorable outcomes, it can also result in maladaptation—ineffective, unintended, or harmful outcomes. As an emerging area of

Bridging the implementation gap in MCABC inventory management: from a taxonomy to practical archetypes

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite increasing demands for resilient and sustainable supply chains, inventory management often relies on outdated single‐criterion analyses. While multi‐criteria ABC (MCABC) analyses provide a theoretically mature assessment of resilience‐sustainability‐benefit trade‐offs in inventory, their adoption remains limited due to fragmented ...
