Using incentive payments to promote human–carnivore coexistence

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract For many large carnivores, minimizing the financial burden they impose on local people is critical to their conservation. Incentive‐based programs that provide people with financial benefits for taking pro‐conservation actions or achieving conservation goals are a promising tool for promoting human–carnivore coexistence. Although the number of

Environmental factors affect the condition of critically endangered freshwater pearl mussels by disrupting terrestrial–aquatic resource connectivity

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This regional‐scale field study shows that critically threatened freshwater pearl mussels rely substantially on terrestrial organic matter, indicating strong connectivity between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. However, human pressures at the catchment scale reduced this resource connectivity.

Bake Sales to Save Nature: Why Wall Street Conservation Survives

Development and Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Academics have spent decades analysing the harms and failures of market and finance‐led biodiversity policy. Yet, even though ‘selling nature to save it’ looks less like the promised green capitalism and more like a decades‐long bake sale in that its efforts are small, piecemeal and rely on copious amounts of cheap capital, the approach ...

Deciphering the biosynthetic pathways of lichen acids

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Depsides and depsidones are polyketide‐derived lichen acids widely distributed in lichen thalli, yet the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) responsible for their production remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we investigated the diversity and evolutionary relationships of polyketide BGCs in lichens.

Nutrient addition and herbivore exclusion alter plant traits and biomass via distinct mechanisms: intraspecific variability vs species turnover

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Soil nutrients and vertebrate herbivory are key ecological factors with opposite and interactive effects on grassland plant traits and biomass. Partitioning trait changes into species turnover and intraspecific change provides a mechanistic linkage between trait shifts and biomass responses.

Ecosystem restoration and Indigenous Peoples and local communities: Learning from protected and conserved areas

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Global interest in, and funding for, ecosystem restoration is growing in the face of ongoing ecosystem degradation. The role and inclusion of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IP&LCs) have not been given sufficient attention in ecosystem restoration. Objective The objective of this research is to apply the lessons from the

Living in the Mycelial World

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...
