Malnutrition in cancer surgery: A retrospective study on screening practices and outcomes

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Preoperative nutrition risk screening and referral for optimization are recommended for patients undergoing cancer surgery; however, despite high‐risk individuals being identified, referral remains variable. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of preoperative undernutrition risk and body mass index (BMI)‐defined ...

Business‐Like Narrative and Public Engagement: Evidence From TED Talks on Nonprofit Issues

Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the trend of nonprofits adopting business‐like practices has been widely discussed, limited attention has been paid to how the broader public responds to this shift. One way to capture public reactions is by examining engagement with business‐like narratives in media.

Nonstationarity in wildlife disease dynamics: insights from the prairie dog–plague system

Oikos, EarlyView.
Ecological relationships often vary in strength and direction across ecosystems, a pattern that has become increasingly evident as ecology expands to broader spatial and temporal scales. Although such nonstationarity – the changing effect of predictor variables across spatiotemporal contexts – is widely acknowledged in ecological research, it has ...

Asymmetric transferability of trait–environment relationships between native and exotic plant species in Singaporean forests differing in land‐use history

Oikos, EarlyView.
Functional traits allow ecologists to synthesise general rules of community assembly. In joint species distribution modelling, traits are increasingly used to explain species–environment relationships, with the intention of being able to generalise predictions to other species in other systems.

Different demographic drivers of recovery in two adjacent populations of a long‐lived bird of prey

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the demographic mechanisms underlying population decline or recovery is critical for conservation and management, yet similar population trends may arise from very different underlying processes. Comparing populations of vulnerable species groups like long‐lived raptors in different environments can reveal how species respond to change ...

Do cultural taboos regulate hunting in transitioning Indigenous communities? The case of the Idu Mishmi of Northeast India

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract There is rising recognition of resource‐use rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) within wildlife conservation. Historically, sociocultural institutions ensured wildlife sustainability in many IPLC areas. However, the future viability of such institutions is uncertain as IPLCs change in response to external pressures and ...

Feast or famine: How food deserts, wealth and greenspace correlate with coyote diets in Seattle, Washington

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban environments create unique challenges for wildlife, where dietary habits may reflect both ecological heterogeneity and societal disparities. In this study, we explored how social factors such as household income and human population density, and ecological factors such as tree canopy correlate with coyote (Canis latrans) diets in Seattle,

Divergent benefits of urban nature: A comparison of new towns and unplanned settlements in South Tangerang, Indonesia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban nature provides essential ecosystem services, but their use and perception vary based on socio‐demographic factors, including settlement type, which reflects differences in socio‐economic and environmental conditions. This study compares how residents of new town developments (master‐planned areas) and unplanned settlements (organically ...

Climate‐driven intraspecific shifts in seed germination phenology: Consequences for native temperate woodland restoration and regeneration

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As climate change alters seasonal patterns, temperate tree populations face a growing risk of phenological mismatch, where seed dispersal and germination no longer align with favourable conditions for survival. This study predicted how warming by the end of the century will affect seed dormancy breaking and germination in populations of three UK tree ...
