Increased utilitarian value of invasive species in regions with long invasion history may limit public engagement for invasion control

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Positive perceptions of invasive species can hinder effective management, especially if management efforts that are rooted in scientific theories are misaligned with local ecological knowledge. We documented local ecological knowledge about land invasibility as predicted by invasion biology theories. Participants with greater local ecological knowledge

Accidental plant poisonings in France: Lessons from a decade of national toxicovigilance

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Accidental plant poisonings reveal how modern societies are losing everyday botanical knowledge once central to food and health safety. By analyzing a decade of French toxicovigilance data, this study shows that most severe cases arise from plant misidentification or misguided self‐medication.

Operationalising Circular Economy Through Social Innovation: A Systems Thinking‐Based Model for Sustainability Transitions

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social innovation (SI) is increasingly recognised as an important enabler of circular economy (CE) transitions. However, existing research offers limited explanation of the processes through which SI operationalises CE principles, as SI and CE have largely evolved in parallel and existing conceptualisations remain predominantly descriptive ...
