Defining the pollinator garden: is conceptual flexibility a feature or a bug?

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Ecologists often aim to reduce conceptual ambiguity by attempting to create rigid shared lexicons. These efforts imply that ambiguity is undesirable. In some contexts, however, conceptual flexibility comes with under‐discussed benefits. Here, we use the lens of pollinator gardening to explore how conceptual flexibility is built into participatory ...

Potential for conflict between urban coyotes and people experiencing unsheltered homelessness

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Across North America, both unsheltered homelessness and human–coyote (Canis latrans) conflict are increasing, but the relationship between these phenomena has not been thoroughly explored. We synthesize literature‐based evidence with anecdotal observations that occurred during a 15‐year study of coyotes in Edmonton, Canada, to describe three likely ...

Legacy effects of redlining on the distribution of greenspaces in US cities

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
We investigated how a discriminatory housing policy—redlining—has shaped the spatial patterns and configurations of greenspaces throughout 177 cities in the contiguous US. Housing segregation has been a long‐term development practice that has sequestered communities of color to areas with elevated environmental and public health risks.

Half a Century of Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Northern Gannet Eggs: Impact of Regulations

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as “forever chemicals”, are persistent organic pollutants that have been widely used in the industry across the globe for many decades. Their chemical stability, bioaccumulation, and toxicity pose major environmental and health risks. This study examines temporal trends in the concentrations of
