Enabling effective urban green space stewardship through planning: A qualitative comparative analysis in Southwest England

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

Evaluation of Elite Open-Pollinated Maize Lines in Two Contrasting Environments

, 2017
Selection environment affects plant behavior and response to selection. The objective of the present study was the evaluation of 17 quality and quantity phenotypic characteristics of six open-pollinated maize lines of fifth cycle of selection (C4), which

Unpacking the task of synthesis when weaving knowledge systems for biodiversity assessments

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The pivot towards evidence‐based conservation since 2000 has inspired global environmental assessments to gather evidence across multiple knowledge systems, including through co‐production with Indigenous Peoples and local communities. Knowledge co‐production is highlighted as a strategy for transformative change towards a just future that ...

Balancing risk and reward—Perceptions of bats and their ecological role in Reunion island

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Context: Bats provide vital ecosystem services but can also generate disservices or sanitary concerns, particularly where human–bat interactions are frequent. Understanding public perceptions of bats is essential for effective conservation and risk communication.

Genetic Variation in Morphology, Seed Quality and Self-(in)Compatibility among the Inbred Lines Developed from a Population Variety in Outcrossing Yellow Mustard (Sinapis alba)

Plants, 2012
Yellow mustard (Sinapis alba L.) has been grown as an important source of condiment for the spice trade in the world. It is an obligate outcrossing species due to its sporophytic self-incompatibility (SI).

Assessing trade‐off risk between crop production and vertebrate biodiversity in three African countries

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Governments worldwide are committed to eliminating hunger and conserving biodiversity, reflected in United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger) and 15 (Life on Land). Expanding agricultural lands to meet growing food demands often threatens biodiversity, creating potential trade‐offs between these objectives. To understand the
