An urban evolved invasive plant tolerates experimental climate change

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Urbanization may drive invasive species evolution, resulting in greater invasion risks as global conditions change. We compared urban populations of the invasive Erigeron annuus in Zagreb, Croatia, to surrounding rural populations and found that urban‐evolved populations were more tolerant of experimental warming and drought than rural populations ...

On‐farm comparison of aerial and chemigation application methods for Striacosta albicosta (lepidoptera: Noctuidae) management in corn using pyrethroid and diamide insecticides

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Aerial applications deposited more insecticide on tassels than on ear level (36.4% vs. 19.8%). Across both application methods, chlorantraniliprole minimized ear injury, while bifenthrin provided moderate control. Effective management of S. albicosta requires delivering sufficient insecticide concentration to the target site and achieving adequate ...

How Brazilian Public Universities Are Operationalizing The SDGs: Strategic Plans Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the importance of universities for Sustainable Development, only a handful of studies have evaluated the implementation levels of SDGs in HEIs in Latin America. To fill this void, this study examines the strategic plans of 70 Brazilian public universities, which account for 92.8% of Federal Universities.

Operationalising Circular Economy Through Social Innovation: A Systems Thinking‐Based Model for Sustainability Transitions

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social innovation (SI) is increasingly recognised as an important enabler of circular economy (CE) transitions. However, existing research offers limited explanation of the processes through which SI operationalises CE principles, as SI and CE have largely evolved in parallel and existing conceptualisations remain predominantly descriptive ...

Gross Agricultural Emissions and Unequal Mitigation Pathways in the Brazilian Legal Amazon: Implications for Climate Justice and the Sustainable Development Goals

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate mitigation policies in the Brazilian Legal Amazon have largely focused on aggregate or net emissions, providing limited evidence on how gross agricultural emissions reveal the intensity of productive emission sources independently of carbon removals.

Framing the unknowable: The role of language and frame multiplicity in early‐stage startup pitches

Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Early‐stage startup pitches must make largely unknowable futures plausible. As such, they bear a rhetorical burden. This study theorizes how multiple frames jointly shape this burden and, consequently, affect investor evaluations. Specifically, it considers how future growth frames interact with concreteness and novelty frames.

Student Perceptions of AI and Virtual Populations in a Project‐Based Experimental Design Course

Teaching Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the use of virtual populations and artificial intelligence (AI) tools in a course‐based project within the undergraduate statistics course “Experimental Design.” Consistent with our prior research, we found that most students supported the use of project‐based learning and reported gains in conceptual understanding, report ...
