Robin Cohen and Nicholas Van Hear, Refugia: Radical Solutions to Mass Displacement, Routledge, London and New York, 2019, 148 pp., $46.95, ISBN 9781138601567

open access: yesTurkish Journal of Diaspora Studies, 2021
The main aim of the Refugia idea is to create a new form of transnational government. In doing so, the authors consider how to resolve displacement. Accordingly, Refugia will be led by an international virtual assembly.

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

The flexible, the stereotyped and the in‐between: putting together the combinatory tool use origins hypothesis

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Incorporating Climate Spatial Heterogeneity, Rarity, and Temporal Stability to Identify Optimal Climate Refugia

open access: yesEcosystem Health and Sustainability
The identification of climate refugia is a crucial conservation strategy under climate change. However, the debate is open on the appropriate climate indicators for refugia delineation.

Early evolutionary history of the seed

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Identifying Climatic Refugia by Integrating Continuous Heterogeneity and Discrete Classifications of Variables

open access: yesEcosystem Health and Sustainability
Climate diversity is essential for safeguarding biological diversity against climate change. Two planning approaches based on continuous heterogeneity or discrete classification have previously been implemented to identify climatic refugia.

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Still standing: Recent patterns of post-fire conifer refugia in ponderosa pine-dominated forests of the Colorado Front Range.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Forested fire refugia (trees that survive fires) are important disturbance legacies that provide seed sources for post-fire regeneration. Conifer regeneration has been limited following some recent western fires, particularly in ponderosa pine (Pinus ...
