A plant–pollinator invasional meltdown: the Japanese pagoda tree Styphnolobium japonicum facilitates the invasion of the giant resin bee Megachile sculpturalis

Oikos, EarlyView.
An invasional meltdown can occur when a non‐native species facilitates the spread of another non‐native species in the invaded area, increasing its likelihood of survival or its ecological impact. Plant–pollinator systems pose an exceptional study system to test this concept, which remains poorly known.

A dramaturgy of uncertainty: Transdisciplinary manoeuvres across forestry and theatre

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The uncertainties of climate change mean that forestry adaptation strategies are often complex and contested. Research has suggested that there is an interest in the forestry sector for facilitated dialogue about uncertainty (de Pellegrin Llorente et al., 2023).

Curating landscapes to encourage care for biodiversity through arts and citizen science

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates how combining Citizen Science and Art workshops within curated wildflower meadows can generate repeated, positive experiences with nature, and foster a sense of care for it. The project aimed to increase awareness, encourage responsibility, and develop competencies related to urban nature.

Prediction of Raw-Wood Consumption Based on Potential Wood Usage in Public Buildings: A Quantitative Approach Using Building Construction Statistics

BioResources
The use of wood in the construction sector to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is garnering global interest. In South Korea, the wood usage in public buildings is limited, being influenced by factors such as the high price of wood products and their

Effects of adjustable‐volume transfemoral prosthetic sockets on balance and falls: A randomized clinical trial

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Adjustable‐volume prosthetic sockets have been developed to allow users to accommodate volume fluctuations throughout the day. Improvement in socket fit is thought to enhance the connection between the user's residual limb and prosthesis and may therefore improve postural control and balance.

Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) in Nigeria: Regional cultivation patterns, landrace diversity, and farmer knowledge for conserving a climate‐resilient indigenous cereal

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) cereals are valued for their drought resilience, adaptability to poor soils, and cultural importance. In Nigeria, where both species are cultivated, fonio has declined due to labor‐intensive processing, lower yields, and changing livelihood choices. By documenting 21 landraces (15 D. exilis and 6 D. iburua),

Direct Measurement of Explosive Impulse From Contact to the Ultra‐Near Field

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Measurement of impulse from explosive charges in contact and ultra‐near‐field regimes remains poorly characterised due to the short duration of loading, high strain rates, and the difficulty of obtaining direct momentum‐based measurements.
