The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

The flexible, the stereotyped and the in‐between: putting together the combinatory tool use origins hypothesis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Laser Backscattering Analytical Model of Doppler Power Spectra about Convex Quadric Bodies of Revolution during Precession

Remote Sensing
In the realm of ballistic target analysis, micro-motion attributes, such as warhead precession, nutation, and decoy oscillations, play a pivotal role. This paper addresses these critical aspects by introducing an advanced analytical model for assessing ...

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

Estimation of free core nutation parameters and availability of computing options

Geodesy and Geodynamics
The Earth's Free Core Nutation (FCN) causes Earth tides and forced nutation with frequencies close to the FCN that exhibit resonance effects. High-precision superconducting gravimeter (SG) and very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) provide good ...

Green Human Resource Management and Employee Green Behaviour in Hotels: Mediating Roles of Job Satisfaction and Work Well‐Being

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of green human resource management (GHRM) practices on employee green behavioural intention (GBI) and in‐role green behaviour (EGB‐IR) in the hospitality sector. Drawing on conservation of resources (COR) theory, we examine the mediating roles of job satisfaction and employee well‐being as psychological ...

Think Global, Act Local? Fortune 500 Business Strategies for Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11)

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of business towards achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has been well established. However, SDG contextualization continues to pose a conundrum, particularly for firms operating in multiple contexts. This becomes even more problematic in the case of SDG 11, the only goal in the sustainable development agenda directly
