Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective
Oikos, EarlyView.The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Internal biosecurity a realistic objective for plant nematodes
New Zealand Plant Protection, 2004 Nematodes and insects share common features of taxonomic and ecological biodiversity with different species exploiting a wide range of environmental niches However plantfeeding nematodes are usually very small and require a moisture phase for activity This allows very limited active dispersal in soil but survival mechanisms allow the ability for ...

A dramaturgy of uncertainty: Transdisciplinary manoeuvres across forestry and theatre
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The uncertainties of climate change mean that forestry adaptation strategies are often complex and contested. Research has suggested that there is an interest in the forestry sector for facilitated dialogue about uncertainty (de Pellegrin Llorente et al., 2023).

Designing for biodiversity data in place: Species, encounters, and interfaces
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Species occurrence data, which records the presence of an organism at a point in space and time, is central to environmental science and its opening up to new forms of participation such as citizen science. Such data are increasingly aggregated and mobilised, reaching diverse audiences.

Plants back: Re‐envisioning botanical garden collections management for indigenous crops
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Botanical gardens and other ex situ collections play a key role in preventing plant extinctions, yet the needs of Indigenous crop cultivars are not being met by conventional botanical collections management practices. Inspired by Indigenous land care restoration movements centering plant–human–society relationships, we propose a path toward reciprocal ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.A challenge for wild plant conservation is the rising incidence of plant pathogens that are difficult to interdict, contain and manage. Invasive, fast‐moving, broad‐spectrum pathogens impose societal costs through losses of intrinsically valuable wild biodiversity, ecosystem function, current and potential genetic and biological assets, culturally ...
