How to Be Hopeful About Climate Change
ABSTRACT Why do people in climate‐vulnerable regions of Kenya and Namibia express more hope for the future than many in Germany, despite facing greater environmental threats? Drawing on ethnographic research and the philosophy of Gabriel Marcel, we make two arguments.

Forest Degradation and Weather Jointly Affect Early‐Life Development in a Tropical Understory Bird
More than a decade of field data from Kenya's Taita Hills show that forest degradation and warming jointly shape nestling development in a tropical forest bird. Nestlings in small or degraded forest patches had poorer condition, especially during low rainfall, while intact high‐canopy forests buffered them against drought and heat. Wings and tarsi were

ABSTRACT Aim Animal movements are a fundamental process affecting communities and ecosystems. Quantifying habitat selection across species and habitats is key for understanding how animals respond to environmental change. Currently, we lack comparative studies that examine how habitat selection varies across species traits and landscapes.

Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation
Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from

From Windhoek to Auschwitz? [PDF]
Forty years before the war of annihilation in eastern Europe and the Holocaust, German colonial troops in German South West Africa perpetrated the first genocide of the twentieth century. From Windhoek to Auschwitz? interrogates the relationship between colonialism and National Socialism, using genocide, the 'racial state', and systems of forced labour

Validating habitat suitability assessments with post‐translocation animal movement data
Wildlife translocations are essential for restoring species to their native habitats, and species distribution models (SDMs) have proven useful for identifying suitable habitats to guide this process. Validating model predictions with data from individual's post‐translocation, however, is rare due to the frequent lack of monitoring data from ...

Recommendations for Improving the Modeling of Wintering Waterbird Population Sizes and Trends
We assessed four statistical approaches (simple GLMM, optimized GLMM, LORI, and TRIM) for analyzing International Waterbird Census data and found that commonly used methods inadequately address zero inflation, overdispersion, and spatial autocorrelation.
