Urban‐driven homogenization of aquatic subsidy size structure cascades to riparian predator communities

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The export of emergent aquatic insects is a critical energy subsidy for terrestrial food webs. While urbanization is known to alter stream communities, its effects on the size structure of these insect subsidies and the subsequent consequences for riparian predators remain poorly understood.

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

open access: yesPeople 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 ...

Seasonality of fruiting phenology, hunting behaviour and taste preferences in Madagascar's Makira Protected Area

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract For many people around the world, especially in Indigenous communities, seasonal changes affect the availability and desirability of different types of food. Assessing the relationship between seasonality, sociocultural preferences and hunting patterns is vital for understanding how these populations harness seasonal food production dynamics ...

Using a social‐ecological macrosystems framework to understand how human activities alter ecological synchrony

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

Omics Insights Into the Effects of Highbush Blueberry and Cranberry Crop Agroecosystems on Honey Bee Health and Physiology

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are vital pollinators in fruit‐producing agroecosystems like highbush blueberry (HBB) and cranberry (CRA). However, their health is threatened by multiple interacting stressors, including pesticides, pathogens, and nutritional changes.
