An Eco‐Social Lens on Voice for Undervoiced and Unvoiced Stakeholders
ABSTRACT This conceptual paper argues it is important from an ecological–social (eco‐social) whole system point of view for businesses and policymakers to take the interests of and impacts on unvoiced and undervoiced [un(der)voiced] stakeholders into consideration for both strategic and justice reasons.

Abstract Solanum tuberosum L. (potato) is the world's most important vegetable crop, and developing improved cultivars is paramount for global food security. The efficacy of the genomic prediction models that accelerate breeding and genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) depends on large, high‐quality phenotypic datasets, which are often associated ...

Curricular justice in a complex world
Abstract This paper is a response to articles published in this Special Issue of the journal. In the paper, I reflect upon the issue of curricular justice, offering comment on issues raised in the constituent papers of the Special Issue. The arguments are structured around four themes: education IS political; the questions of whose knowledge should be ...

Soil microbial functions are key indicators of ecosystem recovery but can be obscured by taxonomic redundancy. Using shotgun metagenomics, we show that while overall functional diversity remains stable across land conditions, functional composition shifts persist in restored soils, particularly in relation to phosphorus metabolism.
