Engaging the public in plant science: Communication facilitators and barriers of scaling up a citizen science campaign

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Volunteers have been involved in nature observations for decades through citizen science initiatives, providing large data sets as well as problem identification that allow a more complete understanding of many natural phenomena. Although communication is a core component in citizen science, the key factors that determine its effectiveness in ...

Wildland–urban interface expansion: Towards comprehensive planning processes

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wildland–urban interface (WUI) expansion is accelerating in numerous regions around the world due to increasing amenity‐led migration processes, defined as the movement of people seeking higher environmental quality. While WUI areas are complex social–ecological systems requiring holistic planning and management, they are usually approached ...

Fallschirmspringen, Paragliding und Wingsuit‐Fliegen: Im freien Fall

Physik in unserer Zeit, EarlyView.
Mit nichts als Schwerkraftantrieb vom Himmel zu fallen, führt zu den schnellsten Sportarten, aber auch zu den gefährlichsten. Zusammenfassung Fallschirmspringen wird erst seit 1951 als offizielle Sportart betrieben. Moderne Fallschirme sind sehr gut steuerbar, weshalb zum Beispiel das Zielspringen immer anspruchsvoller wird.

Spatial expansions and travelling waves of rabies in vampire bats [PDF]

, 2016
A major obstacle to anticipating the cross-species transmission of zoonotic diseases and developing novel strategies for their control is the scarcity of data informing how these pathogens circulate within natural reservoir populations.

An interdisciplinary review of the interplay of conflict, socio‐economic factors, and land cover and vegetation dynamics in Colombia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Colombia's forests play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity and mitigating climate change, but they are currently facing severe degradation, particularly after the 2016 Peace Agreement. Our literature review highlights a growing research interest in this topic and demonstrates how interdisciplinary approaches combining diverse methods can enhance

Past, present and future of local crop evolution

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

Before Biodiversity: Trajectories of National Parks in Latin America (1930s–1980s)

Latin American Research Review
Almost a century ago, long before biodiversity expressed a scientific value for nature, Latin American countries began establishing national parks. Today, they represent over 6 percent of Latin America’s landmass.
