Experimental and field evidence indicate that islet‐nesting tundra birds experience reduced nest predation and benefit indirectly from high snow goose densities

Oikos, EarlyView.
Landscape features can shape the occurrence and strength of predator–prey interactions by influencing predation risk and prey distribution. In the High Arctic, some bird species select nesting sites with physical features that impede access for their main terrestrial predator, the Arctic fox.

A recipe for recovery: diet as a decisive tool in species conservation

Oikos, EarlyView.
Animals consume foods in specific quantities and ratios to meet a multi‐dimensional nutrient target that maximizes their fitness. Attempts to reach this target in an ever‐changing nutritional landscape often influence animal foraging behavior, habitat choice, and food‐web interactions. Consequently, understanding the nutritional ecology of a species is

Administering an Islamic Public Value by a Non‐Muslim Agency: The UNHCR Refugee Zakat Fund

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The post‐Arab Spring conflicts generated large‐scale displacement across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), producing acute humanitarian needs among predominantly Muslim refugee populations. The United Nations High Commissioner to refugees responded by opening the Refugee Zakat Fund, to be used to mobilize the Islamic philanthropic ...

Bushmeat consumption frequency and preferences among rural households in a West African savanna landscape: Implications for food security and conservation

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources.

Sepiolite Nanofibers Decorated With Zn Single Sites: A Sustainable Filler for Mechanically Robust and Self‐Healing Ionomeric Elastomer Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Fabrication of XNBR nanocomposites reinforced with Zn single‐site decorated sepiolite nanofibers. The resulting composites exhibit high mechanical strength and self‐healing performance, driven by dynamic interactions between the Zn single sites and the XNBR chains (inset).

Using art history to explore society's changing connections with agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Food insecurity is a looming challenge that especially affects those least fortunate. Consumer food choices have a substantial impact on the sustainability of current food systems. Here, we use art as a lens through which to consider our contemporary and historical relationship to one of the world's most crucial crops, the potato, in the context of the

Larval antibiosis to cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is absent within oilseed rape (Brassica napus)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We screened a panel of 98 Brassicaceae genotypes (97 Brassica napus and 1 Sinapis alba) for cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) larval antibiosis. We found limited evidence for antibiosis across B. napus but consistent antibiosis in S. alba. Brassicaceae relatives may therefore better inform resistance traits for breeding.
