Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Potential rockfalls in the periglacial zone of the Polish High Tatras : extent and kinematics
Geographia PolonicaThe study offers the first attempt to combine the identification of rock cliffs particularly prone to rockfall with estimates of the potential trajectories and kinetic energies of the material released in this way in the Tatra Mountains.

Vine Tendril‐Inspired Cold‐Programmable Shape‐Memory Polymer Composites Using Sugar Beet Pulp
Small, EarlyView.Vine tendrils inspire a bio‐derived, cold‐programmable shape‐memory polymer composite (SMPC). Magnetically guided sugar beet pulp creates mesoscale heterogeneity within a glassy matrix, producing built‐in mechanical asymmetry for rapid, solvent‐free programming by simple stretching.

Evaluation of rockfall hazard based on UAV technology and 3D Rockfall Simulations
International Journal of Environment and Geoinformatics, 2023 Hacıabdullah village, where rockfall events occur frequently, is an important mountainous region located within the boundaries of Niğde province, which is one of the top provinces in Türkiye in terms of rockfall events and is located in the Central Anatolia Region. Despite the frequent occurrence of many rockfall events of varying sizes, no precautions

Nesting ecology of an ice‐associated seabird, Kittlitz's murrelet, at the northern edge of its range
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We studied the Kittlitz's murrelet, an ice‐associated seabird of conservation concern, at the northern edge of its range. Over a 2‐year period, we estimated nest density and success at 2 sites, captured and telemetered nesting murrelets, and tested the use of a thermal camera to improve nest detection.

Taxonomic and functional patterns of arthropod succession after glacier retreat in the Dolomite Alps
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Arthropod succession after glacier retreat varied among species and forelands in the Dolomites Alps, with community composition shaped by glacier identity, time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions. Functional composition shifted from small, highly dispersive pioneer species to larger, less dispersive taxa, reflecting increasing ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Natural regeneration is an efficient, minimal‐intervention approach essential for facilitating resilient, self‐sustaining ecosystems during woodland restoration. However, recruitment can be slow, uncertain, or highly restricted, particularly in mountain woodland systems where tree planting and large herbivore management are ...
