Assessing the accuracy and stability of variable importance in species distribution modelling algorithms through sample perturbations

Ecography, EarlyView.
Variable importance derived from species distribution modelling (SDM) is widely used to identify key environmental drivers of species distributions. However, the reliability of these inferences has rarely been systematically evaluated, particularly with respect to their sensitivity to individual occurrences.

Species traits mediate terrestrial mammal density responses to human impacts

Ecography, EarlyView.
Human activities are reshaping ecosystems, but their effects on species population density remain poorly understood. Most studies focus on species presence–absence, thus limiting insight into how anthropogenic pressures affect population density. Emerging evidence suggests that responses of natural populations to human disturbance are highly variable ...

Disentangling the interactive effects of anthropogenic disturbances on biodiversity

Ecography, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic activity threatens biodiversity through climate change, habitat fragmentation, and increasing frequency and scale of disturbance. Various theoretical studies have sought to shed light on how these factors could promote or hinder the coexistence of species. However, our understanding of the relative importance of, and interactions between,

Decoupling environmental suitability from realized recruitment through ontogenetic environmental filtering in a long‐lived Mediterranean palm species

Ecography, EarlyView.
Long‐lived plants facing anthropogenic disturbance often exhibit recruitment failure despite persistent reproductive adults, generating extinction debt masked by longevity. However, whether adult presence reliably reflects environmental suitability for recruitment remains unclear.

Perceptions of Governance (Il)Legitimacy Mediate Climate Change Adaptation in the Lake Victoria Basin, Uganda

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Governance is a well‐known dimension of adaptive capacity across various frameworks, however specific links between perceptions of governance (il)legitimacy and adaptive capacity remain relatively unexplored. In this study, we investigate connections between climate change adaptation and perceptions of governance (il)legitimacy using focus ...

Governing Agriculture or Farmers? Problem Representations of Biodiversity and Farm Loss in Swedens Strategy for the Common Agricultural Policy

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European Union (EU) strategies for food supply address challenges of increasing, or at least maintaining, today's level of agricultural food production. At the same time, European farmland biodiversity continues to deteriorate despite considerable investments in measures to promote environmentally friendly farming practices.

Assessing Policy‐Oriented Learning About Climate‐Related Forest Disturbances in Europe

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European forests provide multiple ecosystem services but are increasingly under pressure from climate‐related disturbances such as droughts, storms and insect calamities. Forest policy is an important driver for the adaptation of forest management practices to climate change.

A Geographic Information System (GIS)–CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) Framework for Selecting Solar Photovoltaics Sites: A Case Study

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A novel framework integrating environmental constraints, topography, infrastructure accessibility, and solar irradiation was developed to identify optimal utility‐scale solar photovoltaics (PV) sites in Lithuania. Western and central Lithuania showed the highest suitability for future solar PV expansion.

Mango Seed Valorization: Sustainable Source of Nutrients, Bioactives, and Value‐Added Applications

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Highlighting mango seed as a valuable yet overlooked by‐product, promoting its utilization and reducing agroindustrial waste. ABSTRACT Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the most widely cultivated tropical fruits, generating large quantities of by‐products during processing, with mango seed representing 20%–25% of the whole fruit weight ...
