From Data to Knowledge to Wisdom: Lessons Learned From the Vancouver Rat Project
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.A synthesis of 15 years of research conducted by the Vancouver Rat Project revealed that: (1) Pathogen ecology within rat colonies is the result of complex interactions among rats, pathogens, and vectors. (2) Local and global population structures influence rat and pathogen ecology.

Evaluating Encodings for Bivariate Edges in Adjacency Matrices
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present the first empirical evaluation of techniques for encoding distributions of quantitative edge values within adjacency matrices. In many real‐world networks, edges represent not a single value but a set of measurements. While adjacency matrices preserve structural clarity, their compact cells limit the simultaneous display of multiple

Environmental justice in education for climate action: Case studies from Perú and Uganda
Children &Society, EarlyView.Abstract This paper draws on participatory research with secondary school learners in Perú and Uganda that shows how environmental and social (in) justices are interwoven and embedded in young people's experiences of the natural world. These experiences contrast with learners' accounts of environmental education in secondary schooling, in which the ...

Risks of concealing environmental degradation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Current practice seeks to conceal the visual impact of land‐use change (i.e., development). Six percent of development impact assessments in Australia and 14% of the World Bank's assessments recommend visual impact mitigation. This mitigation results in, for example, vegetated buffer strips alongside cleared agricultural areas and earthen ...

Factors affecting early plant survival in restoration of Mediterranean‐type climate shrublands
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.We undertook post‐fire restoration in southern California's shrubland with some portion of plants receiving supplemental irrigation. After 2.5 years survival was higher in California sage scrub (CSS) versus chaparral species and only slightly higher in irrigated individuals.
