Coinvasional disruptions to island pollinator networks
Abstract Biological invasions can adversely affect pollinator diversity by threatening the maintenance of animal‐pollinated plant communities. Although most studies have examined single invasive species, accelerating species introductions driven by global trade highlight the need to understand how multiple co‐occurring invaders jointly influence ...

Assessing responses of reef island seabirds to environmental and anthropogenic drivers
Abstract Tropical insular ecosystems face escalating, cumulative impacts of land‐ and sea‐based ecological threats that jeopardize the long‐term sustainability of their native communities. This joint vulnerability is epitomized by reef island seabirds, which are exposed to reef decline and coastal erosion driven by climate change, reduction in prey ...

Lack of Compliance in Gillnet Fisheries Regulations Increases Risk to a Vulnerable Species
ABSTRACT This article presents an analysis of regulatory compliance in a Brazilian gillnet fishery, based on Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) tracking data. Satellite transmissions records, interpreted as proxies for gillnet haulings events, were analyzed and classified using a neural network to assess the level of compliance of the gillnet fleet.

Fine‐scale genetic structure in animal populations can create opportunities for both kin‐directed co‐operation and kin competition. Knowledge of kinship is therefore key to understanding the selective pressures shaping sociality as well as the effects of social behaviour on local genetic structure.

Despite being an important fraction of any animal population, juveniles are a severely understudied group. Juveniles often need to learn an array of skills that allow them to survive independently and do so while undertaking decisions that may impact their fitness, recruitment and survival, having therefore relevant demographic implications.

Are novel and co‐xenic associations common in alien fungal and fungus‐like plant pathogens?
Possible scenarios for plant–pathogen associations during invasion. An introduced plant may occur in a new area without its pathogen (enemy release) or together with its pathogen (co‐introduction). The presence of the alien plant (in red) and its co‐introduced pathogen (in dark red) can result in pathogen spillover to co‐occurring plants. Host jumps to

SWOT Discharge Accuracy Benchmarked in South America
Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission offers unprecedented estimates of global river discharge. This study provides a first continental‐scale assessment of SWOT Consensus discharge performance across South America and compares it with a large‐scale hydrodynamic model and in situ observations.

Event‐Level Attribution of Wildfire Ignition Cause: A Machine‐Learning Approach
Abstract Wildfire ignition causes, namely human or lightning, largely determine fire behavior and impacts, but are sparsely reported worldwide. Event‐level fire causes have been inferred regionally using high‐accuracy lightning observations, but global generalization remains limited.

Business Strategies and Environmental Transparency in the Brazilian Mining Sector
ABSTRACT In recent years, Brazil has experienced severe accidents caused by mining companies. This study aims to analyze the socio‐environmental strategies and environmental transparency practices adopted by the largest Brazilian mining companies following the Mariana and Brumadinho disasters, in light of Legitimacy Theory.
