Shaped by context: Evolutionary trajectories of desiccation tolerance in land plants

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Desiccation tolerance (DT), the ability to survive near‐complete cellular dehydration, is widespread in diaspores but rare in the vegetative tissues of land plants. The patchy and punctuated phylogenetic distribution of vegetative desiccation tolerance (VDT) suggests that the trait is both ancient and recurrent, yet the evolutionary ...

Methods and tools for assessing the vulnerability of forests and people to climate change [PDF]

, 2008
Adaptation is necessary for reducing the impacts of climate change on forests and societies. So far, forests, forest ecosystem services, and forest-dependent people or sectors have not been adequately represented in adaptation studies or policies, even ...

Flower color variation in Digitalis purpurea: Pollination and soil influences across native and introduced populations

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Flower color, a key trait influencing plant–pollinator interactions, may be influenced by abiotic factors such as soil. We investigated association between pollinators, soil characteristics, and flower color variations in Digitalis purpurea across native populations in Sweden and introduced populations in Bolivia.

Water vapor and the dynamics of climate changes [PDF]

, 2009
Water vapor is not only Earth's dominant greenhouse gas. Through the release of latent heat when it condenses, it also plays an active role in dynamic processes that shape the global circulation of the atmosphere and thus climate.

The Politics of Framing the Student Problem: Inquiries Into Australian Civics Education, 2006–2024

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recurring debates about civics, the kinds of history that should, and should not, be taught in school, and ‘standards debates’ about the ‘basics’ typically follow on the heels of recurring moral panics about the ‘declining’ state of ‘our’ education system.

Understanding the response of tropical overturning circulations to greenhouse gas and aerosol forcing

Environmental Research: Climate
While observational records provide evidence for strengthening of the Pacific Walker circulation and the boreal winter Hadley cell over the last few decades, the underlying causes are not well understood.

Beyond Robodebt: Media Representations of Welfare and Fraud Before and After the Robodebt Royal Commission

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Australia's Robodebt scheme, an automated debt recovery program introduced in 2016, was exposed by the Robodebt Royal Commission (RC) as a serious failure of public administration and source of significant harm for thousands of Australians. Through a critical discourse analysis (CDA) of Australian news media, this study explores whether the RC'
