Risks of concealing environmental degradation

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current practice seeks to conceal the visual impact of land‐use change (i.e., development). Six percent of development impact assessments in Australia and 14% of the World Bank's assessments recommend visual impact mitigation. This mitigation results in, for example, vegetated buffer strips alongside cleared agricultural areas and earthen ...

Investigation into the dyeing of pre‐mordanted & cationised woven cotton fabric with cochineal

open access: yesColoration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Dyeing cotton with natural dyes typically requires the pre‐application of a mordant, which enables better dye exhaustion from solution and ‘fixes’ the colorant in the fibre. The most common application system for cellulosic fibres is a combination of plant‐derived tannins and aluminium salts, such as aluminium sulphate.

Factors affecting early plant survival in restoration of Mediterranean‐type climate shrublands

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We undertook post‐fire restoration in southern California's shrubland with some portion of plants receiving supplemental irrigation. After 2.5 years survival was higher in California sage scrub (CSS) versus chaparral species and only slightly higher in irrigated individuals.

More Inspired, Less Anxious: Well‐Being Impacts of a Self‐Directed Art Museum Visit

open access: yesCurator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasingly, art museums are seen as places that can support human flourishing. We describe a quasi‐experimental investigation of the impacts of a self‐directed art museum visit on adults' subjective well‐being. Data were collected from 363 adults at three art museums in Seattle, WA.

Plant Domestication Affects the Oviposition Behavior and Performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a Parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigated the effects of blueberry domestication on the oviposition behavior and performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii. Domestication of blueberries reduced the oviposition‐searching behavior of the parasitoid but enhanced parasitoid performance, including offspring performance. Additionally, blueberry
