The Linnaean revolution – A history of the Natural System

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract A very brief history of the Natural System (NS) is presented, focusing on angiosperms. The account is divided into four parts. The first, “Setting the stage”, gives an outline of my understanding of evolutionary ontology and how this reflects on taxonomy.

Foliar herbivory pushes plant individuals towards the periphery of a plant–floral visitor interaction network

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
The authors demonstrate how the effects of herbivory on a key plant trait can cascade to shape the interactions between individual plants and their flower visitors and how the indirect effects between herbivores and pollinators can modulate the structure of interaction networks in terrestrial ecosystems.

Beyond medicine: A proof of concept for synergy analysis in ecotoxicology

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Interactive effects among chemicals, such as synergism and antagonism, are increasingly studied in ecotoxicology and environmental research. However, these interactions are often assessed using a biased, point‐wise approach that overlooks dose‐dependent effects.

Compression‐Expansion: Miniaturization, Modularity, and Logistics Beyond Earth

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT If the Cold War space race culminated in a return to Earth, at present we are experiencing a renewed interest in space. Drawing on fieldwork among people working in the space sector in Sweden, this article focuses on some of the imaginaries underpinning this resurgence and the contemporary commercialization of space. Specifically, I hone in on

Global drivers of the conservation–invasion paradox

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The conservation–invasion paradox (CIP) refers to a long‐term phenomenon wherein species threatened in their native range can sustain viable populations when introduced to other regions. Understanding the drivers of CIP is helpful for conserving threatened species and managing invasive species, which is unfortunately still lacking. We compiled

Modeling nature‐based restoration potential across aquatic–terrestrial boundaries

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Today, few watersheds remain untouched by global change processes arising from climate warming, impoundments, channelization, water extraction, pollution, and urbanization. The need for restoration has resulted in a myriad of interventions, generally performed at small scales, which have limited measurable impact in restoring biodiversity and

Exploring gaps, biases, and research priorities in the evidence for reptile conservation actions

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract With over 21% of reptile species threatened with extinction, there is an urgent need to ensure conservation actions to protect and restore populations are informed by relevant, reliable evidence. We examined the geographic and taxonomic distribution of 707 studies that tested the effects of actions to conserve reptiles synthesized in ...

Role of protected areas in mitigating range loss and local extinctions of terrestrial mammals

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Protected areas (PAs) are a major tool in biodiversity conservation, but the extent to which they mitigate species declines is often unclear. We evaluated the effectiveness of PAs in mitigating range contraction and local extinction for 483 terrestrial mammal species.

Applying the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology to classify, describe, and map ecosystems based on regional data and Indigenous knowledge

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Four streams of infromation, data, and knowledges are brought together into an ecosystem typology for the Tiwi Islands. The Typology contains written descriptions and conceptual models for each ecosystem, cross‐reference to other classification schemes, and a map of ecosystem distributions. Abstract Effective ecosystem conservation for biodiversity and

Question the Mark: A Review and Assessment of Bat Marking Practices

Mammal Review, EarlyView.
We reviewed a decade of research on bats and conducted a broader systematic review to assess the nature of bat marking practices and the effects and efficacy of marks. Effects of marks on bats, mark details and marking procedures are rarely reported and further research on the effects of marks on bats and more thorough reporting are needed.
