Nature positive? Commodification, speciesism, abjection in Australia’s environmental law reform
Geographical Research, EarlyView.Proposed changes to Australian environmental conservation legislation entrench commodification of nature, speciesism, and the abjection of the nonhuman. These issues can best be addressed through detailed studies of place and relationships between humans and nonhumans, in order to change the culture and politics of conservation legislation (Image ...

Managing Gender Equity and Equality Across Borders—A Review and Introduction to the Special Issue
Human Resource Management Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Achieving gender equality remains a pressing global challenge. In response, many organizations and multinational enterprises (MNEs) have adopted gender diversity management (GDM)—human resource practices aimed at promoting gender equity and equality in the workplace.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.In this study, we systematically analyzed the utilization patterns of Chinese pangolin burrows by sympatric species in Guangdong Province, China, including differences in species composition using burrow mounds and burrow tunnels. We found that repeated visits to burrows by Chinese pangolin promoted the use of burrows by sympatric species, suggesting ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study identifies Polychromophilus sp. in blood‐feeding flies (Basilia speiseri and Basilia lindolphoi) from Myotis nigricans bats in Brazil, marking the first molecular detection of the parasite in an insect vector in this country. Two haplotypes were identified, both within the Polychromophilus murinus group.

An Overlooked Habitat‐Dependent Link Between Metabolism and Water Loss in Reptiles
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We measured the gas exchange of six lizard and six snake species, under high and low air humidity, and two intriguing patterns emerged. First, although desert species lose less water via evaporation than similar‐sized mesic species under similar conditions, water loss is virtually the same when each is exposed to its natural conditions.

Robust passive sampling of airborne environmental DNA to monitor plants and animals
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) is a rich resource for understanding biodiversity, but its wider application is hindered by its complex collection methods and unknown sampling time effects. To develop a passive sampling scheme that is effective and convenient, we systematically compared the performance of an array of materials, namely common
