Advancing Transformative Learning in Sustainability Management Education: A Systematic Review and Integrative Model

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reversing dominant unsustainable business practices requires a fundamental shift in how business practitioners perceive and enact sustainability. Management education is crucial for preparing prospective business professionals to lead this change, yet traditional curricula often perpetuate unsustainable paradigms.

Beyond Reality Avoidance: Unraveling the Paradox of Escapism Through Self‐Monitoring and Autonomy Mechanisms for Consumers' Life Satisfaction

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces the Paradox of Escapism, exploring how the act of escaping reality can evolve from a short‐term avoidance strategy to a mechanism for self‐regulation and enhanced life satisfaction. Employing five rigorous, multimethod investigations, including qualitative interviews and sentiment analysis (Study 1), Structural Equation ...

Pollinator activity and flowering in agricultural weeds in Sweden

Ecology and Evolution
The extent to which weeds in arable land are useful to pollinators depends in part on the temporal pattern of flowering and insect flight activity. We compiled citizen science data on 54 bees and hoverflies typical of agricultural areas in southern ...

Exploring integument transcriptomes, cuticle ultrastructure, and cuticular hydrocarbons profiles in eusocial and solitary bee species displaying heterochronic adult cuticle maturation.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Differences in the timing of exoskeleton melanization and sclerotization are evident when comparing eusocial and solitary bees. This cuticular maturation heterochrony may be associated with life style, considering that eusocial bees remain protected ...

A plant–pollinator invasional meltdown: the Japanese pagoda tree Styphnolobium japonicum facilitates the invasion of the giant resin bee Megachile sculpturalis

Oikos, EarlyView.
An invasional meltdown can occur when a non‐native species facilitates the spread of another non‐native species in the invaded area, increasing its likelihood of survival or its ecological impact. Plant–pollinator systems pose an exceptional study system to test this concept, which remains poorly known.

Organic agricultural landscapes promote the conservation and diversity of cavity-nesting solitary bees

Global Ecology and Conservation
Solitary bees are important pollinators and maintain biodiversity in agricultural landscapes, yet their populations are declining due to habitat loss, intensive farming and pesticide use.

Unshared on the top: strong segregation of pathogen communities between western honey bees and wild bees in a retreating glacier foreland

Oikos, EarlyView.
Shared flowers can facilitate pathogen transmission between managed honey bees and wild bees, yet this process remains poorly understood in ecosystems undergoing rapid environmental change. Using a glacier foreland in Switzerland, we present the first study on how glacier retreat stages and bee life‐history traits influence pathogen occurrence across ...

Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

Comparing the Efficacy of Single and Multiple Visits by Honey and Solitary Bees on Sunflower Seed Production

Sociobiology
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an important oil seed crop with a considerable acreage of cultivated hybrids in Pakistan. Sunflower crops depend on insect pollination for seed setting, as it attracts diverse pollinator fauna, mainly due to pollen ...
