Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 1715-1724, December 2021., 2021 Abstract Despite its successes, the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) has proven challenging to implement due to funding limitations, workload backlog, and other problems. As threats to species survival intensify and as more species come under threat, the need for the ESA and similar conservation laws and policies in other countries to function ...

TAXON, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page 998-1015, October 2020., 2020 Abstract The pantropical plant family Sapotaceae currently includes 65–70 genera. Two genera, Beauvisagea and Boerlagella, were described in 1890s using incomplete material from West New Guinea (Bird's Head Peninsula) and Sumatra, neither of which has been collected since.

Antipoaching standards in onshore hydrocarbon concessions drawn from a Central African case study
Conservation Biology, Volume 31, Issue 3, Page 696-706, June 2017., 2017 Abstract Unsustainable hunting outside protected areas is threatening tropical biodiversity worldwide and requires conservationists to engage increasingly in antipoaching activities. Following the example of ecocertified logging companies, we argue that other extractive industries managing large concessions should engage in antipoaching activities as ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3395-3407, April 2026.Chemical profiling and bioassays reveal that leaf‐litter leachates from urban trees flip between nourishing and killing Aedes aegypti larvae: dilute Tipuana tipu boosts growth, whereas concentrated, aged extracts are >90% lethal. Species‐specific chemistry thus turns street trees into potential self‐renewing tools for integrated vector control ...

Governance of Climate‐Induced Relocation in the US: An Exploration of Institutional Complexity
Review of Policy Research, Volume 43, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT Climate change has and will continue to have a profound effect on both individuals and the communities in which they reside. A pressing question is how communities forced to confront climate‐induced catastrophe—including both rapid and slow‐onset hazards—undertake the decision of how and when to relocate, particularly given the multiple scales

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.X‐ray CT and microscopic analysis of glaciogenic mud provide insight into the deposits of sediment‐laden density flows and reveal that strata comprise two microtextural motifs. The deposits of bottom‐hugging hyperpycnal flows and slope‐failure‐related turbidity currents are characterised by laterally continuous, sharply bounded silt‐rich and clay‐rich ...

Community acceptance of nature‐based solutions for coastal flood risk management
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 21-36, January 2026.Abstract Coastal areas are increasingly vulnerable to climate change impacts, such as rising sea levels and more frequent storm events, necessitating urgent adaptation strategies. Various adaptation approaches exist, including hard engineering solutions and nature‐based solutions, but whether these strategies are implemented often depends on social ...

Systematics of Planchonella Pierre: The largest Sapotaceae genus in subfamily Chrysophylloideae
TAXON, Volume 74, Issue 3, Page 616-661, June 2025.Abstract Planchonella is the largest genus in subfamily Chrysophylloideae (Sapotaceae), believed to circumscribe about 110 species, occurring throughout tropical Asia, Australia, and Oceania, as well as the Seychelles and Hawaii. Previous studies have confirmed the monophyly of Planchonella but also identified problems such as species limits of the ...

Geoarchaeology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 320-334, May/June 2024.Abstract The Archaeological Site of Panama Viejo (Panama) comprises a protected area of 28 km2 within present‐day Panama City, on America's Pacific coast. In 1519, the Spaniards founded the city of Panama Viejo to secure a natural port in an area inhabited by indigenous peoples since at least the eighth century CE.
