Dynamic riskscapes for prey: disentangling the impact of human and cougar presence on deer behavior using GPS smartphone locations

Ecography, EarlyView.
Prey species adjust their behavior along human‐use gradients by balancing risks from predators and humans. During hunting seasons, prey often exhibit strong antipredator responses to humans but may develop tolerance in suburban areas to exploit human‐mediated resources.

Freshwater fish functional diversity shows diverse responses to human activities, but consistently declines in the tropics

Ecography, EarlyView.
Freshwater environments are intertwined with human activities and the consequence has been environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. Fish provide key ecological and economic benefits, and fish abundance and diversity can be affected by human activities resulting in functional diversity (FD) changes that might scale up to ecosystem impacts ...

A Transdisciplinary Framework to Bridge Science–Policy–Development Gaps in Global Land Management Initiatives

Global Challenges, EarlyView.
This study presents a transdisciplinary framework to enhance Sustainable Land Management (SLM) by strengthening the weak integration between science, policy, and development. A global analysis of 236 countries revealed widespread soil erosion risks and inadequate SLM implementation. The proposed seven‐stage framework aims to improve coordination across

A Ray of Hope: Gamma Radiation for Microplastic Remediation

Global Challenges, EarlyView.
Gamma irradiation is a promising method for degrading microplastics in sewage sludge. Cobalt‐60 doses up to 116 kGy are used, achieving over two‐thirds degradation at the highest level. With further optimization, gamma irradiation could improve wastewater treatment sustainability by minimizing microplastic presence in biosolids and protecting ...
