Tourism in the outdoors : but whose outdoors?
, 2015 Using the outdoors for tourism, general recreation, and education is perceived to be environmentally friendly, but as numbers increase concerns of over-commercialisation, overcrowding, environmental degradation, and longterm sustainability issues of global warming and social inequity, are being raised. These problems are exacerbated because individuals

Human‐in‐the‐Loop Swarms: A Bionic Swarm Approach to Real‐World Soil Mapping
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This article introduces the “Bionic Swarm,” a novel system that lowers the barriers to real‐world swarm validation by abstracting difficult hardware tasks to app‐guided human agents. We demonstrate the system's utility through the experimental validation of a geotechnical soil‐mapping swarm algorithm and show superior performance to baseline approaches

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise The optimal timing of reproduction depends on the relative risk and benefit of continued growth. These risks and benefits depend on the local environment, which varies seasonally. While temperature and water availability are well‐studied selective agents on reproductive timing, less is known about other seasonally variable factors ...
