What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite more than 20 years of research into sustainable tourism, the environmental impact of the UK hospitality sector remains high. A growing body of research into the concept of a circular economy (CE) demonstrates that transitioning to this way of working has significant benefits both for the environment and business outcomes.

A Decision‐Making Model for Implementing Green Technology in Sustainable Building Projects
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Green technology (GT) adoption is pivotal for reconciling environmental stewardship with economic viability in the built environment, particularly in resource‐constrained emerging economies. However, empirical evidence on how specific GT drivers actively mitigate adoption barriers remains scarce.

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the bi‐directional relationship between corporate sustainability and environmental uncertainty, focusing on key moderators that shape firms' strategic responses. Using fixed‐effects regressions with S&P 500 data (LSEG Refinitiv Workspace, 2005–2022), we present two key findings.
