Scale‐dependent assembly shapes taxon‐dependent responses of soil microbes to island isolation and area

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The theory of island biogeography (TIB) remains contentious for microbes, as their immense dispersal potential and microscopic size may decouple diversity from classic isolation/area effects. We explicitly tested TIB scaling rules for soil bacteria and fungi across 20 oceanic islands using a rigorous multi‐scale framework that integrated high ...

Disentangling the interactive effects of anthropogenic disturbances on biodiversity

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic activity threatens biodiversity through climate change, habitat fragmentation, and increasing frequency and scale of disturbance. Various theoretical studies have sought to shed light on how these factors could promote or hinder the coexistence of species. However, our understanding of the relative importance of, and interactions between,

Who is a responsible woman? Understanding the scope and characteristics of responsible womanhood amongst women in Karachi

“You just want to re‐open our biggest wounds, don't you?”: Homeplace ethnography as (polluted) environmental method

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, EarlyView.

Since we moved when I was too young to remember, the story had little significance until I embarked on a “hometown” ethnographic journey for my dissertation.

Creation of a Landslide Susceptibility Map Using Short‐Term Data From the July 2018 Heavy Rainfall in Southern Hiroshima Prefecture

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
This work advances landslide susceptibility mapping by incorporating short‐term trigger data with landscape susceptibility mapping. We also examine the importance of downsampling, watershed delineation and geospatial correlations in evaluating outcomes.

Operating in perpetual motion? Coping with the dark side of global boundary spanning

open access: yesGlobal Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This paper explores how individuals experience and cope with the demands of global boundary spanning in multinational enterprises (MNEs). We foreground temporary colocation as a modality through which mobile global boundary spanners repeatedly traverse multiple boundaries, triggering intense demands with adverse consequences ...
