Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.

With a Great Story Comes Great Responsibility: Role of Narrative in Leadership Development
New Directions for Student Leadership, Volume 2025, Issue 185, Page 81-87, Spring 2025.ABSTRACT Comic books reside uniquely within American culture. Historians have contended comics are more than just sequential artwork mixed with engaging stories, but rather, a framework by which the generations make sense of who they are. These stories are a reflection of cultural conscience; a lens through which we can view the world and a mirror ...

TNCOA: Efficient Exploration via Observation‐Action Constraint on Trajectory‐Based Intrinsic Reward
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Efficient exploration is critical in handling sparse rewards and partial observability in deep reinforcement learning. However, most existing intrinsic reward methods based on novelty rely on single‐step observations or Euclidean distances.

Size variation of an herbivorous insect affects host plant damage: Mechanisms behind the effect
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Intraspecific trait variation can strengthen or weaken species interactions in ecological communities. A mechanistic understanding of how intraspecific variation affects species interactions will help identify general rules about when intraspecific variation strengthens
