‘Missing persons’: Ancient legacies of human–environment interaction in tropical natural properties inscribed under the 1972 World Heritage Convention

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S2, Page S9-S30, May 2026.
Abstract Cultural and natural values form the core of World Heritage designation. Properties displaying both values, however, comprise a fraction of inscriptions (currently c. 3%) to the World Heritage List. In 1992, when that fraction stood at c. 5%, adoption of the popular ‘cultural landscapes’ category of cultural heritage in 1992 was therefore ...

A dialogic theoretical foundation for integrating generative AI into pedagogical design

British Journal of Educational Technology, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 639-654, May 2026.
Generative AI presents a profound challenge to the existing structures and purposes of education. It forces us to reconsider not only how we teach and learn but also, more fundamentally, what education is for. This conceptual paper argues that, in order to integrate AI into education in a way that can meet the major challenges facing humanity, ranging ...

Overcoming taxonomic anxiety in conservation: A roadmap from the idle crayfish case

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Advances in taxonomy often uncover cryptic species nested within already protected taxa, raising concerns about the continuity of legal safeguards. While newly described species are not necessarily disconnected from existing protections, often being treated administratively as part of the original species complex, formal legislative updates ...

An observation lens is placed on the themes of ethics and on the sustainable approach of the project that operates around the key themes of contemporaneity with an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspective. The focus is to generate a new Taxonomy of contemporary spatial design to respond ethically to the global emergency conditions related to

A Global Comparison of Direct and Legacy Effects of Drought on Ecosystem Productivity

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
We quantify the magnitude change in terrestrial gross primary production (GPP) globally in response to direct and long‐term (4 years) legacy effects of drought. We find that the direct effect causes significant GPP decreases in magnitude of −6% per year, while the legacy effect‐induced GPP change is overall weaker and non‐significant in the long run ...
