Effects of restoration practices on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Several restoration practices are used to mitigate and compensate for the negative effects of large‐scale forestry on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. A comprehensive synthesis of the benefits of these practices across taxa is missing. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis on this topic.

Defining ecologically realistic biodiversity offset multipliers with the response‐based habitat hectare assessment of biodiversity gains (REHAB)

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Biodiversity offsetting should be based on adequately large multipliers to deliver no net loss or a net gain for biodiversity, yet the multipliers are often applied without quantitative assessment of the ecological outcomes of offset actions. Here, we show how ecologically realistic offset multipliers were defined based on ecological response estimates

Evading the blues: Nocturnally active adult Leach's Storm‐Petrels show evidence of avoiding LED lights with shorter wavelengths

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Nocturnal seabirds, particularly Procellariiforms, are vulnerable to being negatively impacted by artificial lights as they are prone to encounter various forms of light pollution in coastal and pelagic habitats, leading to strandings or other changes to their normal behavior.

Nonhuman Pedagogical Relations: Towards Conceptual Limits

Educational Theory, EarlyView.
Abstract This article considers the pedagogical relation as a relation to a nonhuman educator, wherein the educatee is a member of the Homo sapiens species. My aim is to clarify the extent to which a nonhuman‐human relation can be understood as pedagogical.

Landscape and Geography Determine Saproxylic Beetle Captures in Pheromone‐Baited Traps

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Pheromone‐baited traps at 39 forest sites across southern Sweden captured 58 saproxylic beetle species, including seven Red‐listed taxa. The effect of surrounding forest cover on beetle abundance may depend on latitude and longitude: positive effects were strongest in warmer southern and eastern regions but weakened or reversed in colder northwestern ...
