Resilience‐as‐doing: A relational model for living practice
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Dominant frameworks treat resilience as a capacity to withstand disturbance and recover, something systems, communities or individuals either have or lack. This paper proposes a different understanding, grounded in relational onto‐epistemology and first‐person, practice‐based, autoethnographic inquiry situated within a household garden.

Relational knowing as method and practice
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract This paper seeks to contribute to (re)building the capacity for embodied, place‐based relational knowing, transforming how we know and thus what we know. What is known, or sought to be known, is relations. How we know these relations is by already being in it: breathing, sensing, moving, listening, responding, affecting and being affected ...

Energy and water balance in the lesser double-collared sunbird, Nectarinia chalybea [PDF]
, 1999 Bibliography: leaves 164-172.Nectarivores feed on aqueous sugar solutions, and their water balance is tightly linked to their energy balance. When nectar is dilute and energy demands are high, consumption of a large excess of preformed water is ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Host‐plant selection is a key factor driving the ecology and evolution of insects. While the majority of phytophagous insects is highly host specific, generalist behavior is quite widespread among bees and presumably involves physiological adaptations ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

Multiple barriers maintain species boundaries in sympatric brood‐site deceptive Gastrodia orchids
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Societal Impact Statement Gastrodia orchids are inconspicuous forest plants that lack chlorophyll and obtain carbon from fungi. Their dull‐colored, ground‐level flowers are often hidden among leaf litter, yet they rely on small flies for pollination.
