People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Species occurrence data, which records the presence of an organism at a point in space and time, is central to environmental science and its opening up to new forms of participation such as citizen science. Such data are increasingly aggregated and mobilised, reaching diverse audiences.

Theories of care help explain a peri‐urban tree diversity paradox

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Since diversity is often a management objective for peri‐urban tree communities on public land, one might expect to find greater diversity there than on private land, where such objectives are less common. However, this expectation rests on an assumption that people control diversity towards objectives, overlooking the role of relationships ...

Birds of many feathers? Examining perceptions among US birders following the American Ornithological Society's eponymous renaming decision

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In 2023, the American Ornithological Society announced it will phase out the English eponymous (honorific) names of 152 bird species in the United States and Canada, some of which are named after historical figures with racist, genocidal, or otherwise violent histories that serve as reminders of ornithology's exclusive origins.

Spread and mitigation of antimicrobial resistance at the wildlife-urban and wildlife-livestock interfaces

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a health issue common to all One Health domains. Scientific understanding of what drives AMR and how it spreads is continually expanding. One such dimension of this expanding base of knowledge is the role wildlife populations play as reservoirs and spreaders of AMR.

Care through cultivation: Indigenous Swidden agriculture as forest care

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper argues that the agricultural practices of Bunong swidden cultivators in northeastern Cambodia constitute relational care for forests that is fundamentally misunderstood, misrecognized, and marginalized by dominant state policies, conservation, and development paradigms. Bringing together care theory, long‐term ethnographic research,
