Walking the Tightrope of Sustainability Reporting Standardization: Insights From Italian Small and Medium‐Sized Enterprises

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 4607-4622, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the challenges and support needs of small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) in adopting standardized sustainability reporting, taking the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) as an empirical case of formal standardization.

Stable Isotopes in Eye Lenses Record Patterns and Variation in Resource‐Use Ontogeny of Three New Zealand Kelp Forest Fishes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Here, we describe the results of stable isotope analysis using sequentially deposited layers from fish eye lenses to model lifetime trophic shifts of three New Zealand kelp forest species: Notolabrus fucicola, Odax pullus, and Parapercis colias. Using eye lenses, we identified size‐structured trends and patterns of variability in estimates of basal ...

Wild large herbivores promote plant diversity and functional redundancy by reducing dominance

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2286-2300, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Large herbivores can strongly shape plant communities, yet studies report contrasting effects on species richness, and how they affect plant functional diversity remains largely unknown.

Resilience of Breeding Boreal Waterbirds to Harsh Wintering Conditions: Could Climate Warming Smooth Population Declines?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Due to global climate change, wintering conditions of open water‐dependent waterbirds have become milder in central‐western Europe. We found that breeding populations of most waterbird species in northern Europe are resistant to cold winters, and this pattern was not associated with long‐term population trends. Results suggest that breeding populations

Outpaced by Industry: Industrial Environments Reduce Endurance, With Implications for Evolutionary Fitness

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Physical function—the capacity to perform tasks requiring endurance and/or strength—is a key determinant of fitness that has directly influenced Homo sapiens' survival, reproduction and health throughout our evolutionary journey.

Understanding Sustainability Competences Through a Paradox Lens: Evidence From Project Management Practice

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 4290-4305, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Contemporary project environments are increasingly shaped by paradoxical tensions—between control and flexibility, short‐term delivery and long‐term value, or efficiency and innovation—that require project professionals to cultivate a more complex set of competences.

Comparing Two Novel LiDAR‐Based Indices for Quantifying Forest Structural Complexity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study compares two LiDAR‐derived forest structural complexity indices: the fractal‐based box dimension (Db$$ {D}_b $$) and the entropy‐based canopy entropy (CE$$ CE $$). Analysis of 170 plots revealed a strong linear correlation (r = 0.823) between Db$$ {D}_b $$ and CE$$ CE $$, but computation was much slower.

Riparian vegetation diversity in boreal headwaters: Comparing streams, modified waterways, and ditches

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Decades of forest management in the boreal biome have involved digging drainage ditches and modifying streams to increase timber production, altering terrestrial ecosystems and expanding stream networks. Modified waterways and drainage ditches represent widespread novel aquatic and riparian ecosystems, with little known about their ...

Patterns and Drivers of Knowledge Gaps in Global Databases of Mammal Traits

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Knowledge gaps in biodiversity, particularly in species traits, can hinder an accurate understanding of species roles in ecosystems, limiting our comprehension of ecosystem functions, maintenance and stability. In this study, we quantified data completeness in terrestrial mammals trait databases to identify knowledge gaps and data biases ...
