A framework for investigating fish population density responses to habitat fragmentation
Globally, fish populations that rely on rivers are being fragmented by in‐stream barriers, but it is unclear how pervasive any negative population responses to fragmentation are. We developed a modeling framework for estimating density responses of fishes upstream and downstream of in‐stream barriers and applied it to learn how low‐head dams have ...

Crop wild relatives (CWR) in Zimbabwe are reservoirs of beneficial agronomic traits, yet they remain under‐documented and poorly conserved. This study developed Zimbabwe's first national CWR checklist based on a conceptual framework combining floristic, ecological and ethnobotanical data, revealing over 2700 taxa, with nearly 1000 edible species ...

Beyond Dams: Reservoirs as a Lens Onto the Hydrosocial Cycle
Synthesizing literature on reservoir inflows, outflows, and operations reveals hydrosocial complexities of water management, which are often overlooked in critical social scientific scholarship on dams. ABSTRACT There is a need for more social scientific scholarship on reservoirs.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Charles Elton proposed that species‐rich communities are more resistant to invasion, yet a well‐known paradox persists: native diversity suppresses invasion at small scales while correlating positively with non‐native species diversity at broad scales.

ABSTRACT Passiflora foetida senso lato L. (Passifloraceae), native to the Americas, is an invasive vine impacting areas of environmental, economic, cultural and social importance across northern Australia. The leaf‐sucking mirid, Engytatus passionarius Minghetti, Maestro and Dellapé (Hemiptera: Miridae), was recently described and identified as a ...
