The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Promoting sustainability at the base of the pyramid (BoP) often falls short of inclusive development due to informal and fragmented institutions, creating institutional voids. Although institutions are critical in BoP settings, there is limited clarity on how institutional mechanisms can address sustainability challenges in low‐income contexts

Operationalising Sufficiency in an Organisational Context: A Systematic Literature Review
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Efficiency‐led sustainability is important but often fails to deliver absolute reductions in resource use, leaving organisations exposed to rebound effects. What remains underexplored is how sufficiency, the strategic limitation of consumption and resource use, is operationalised within organisational contexts.
