The influence of multiple stressors on the spatial distribution of corals
Abstract Coral reef ecosystems are widely threatened by global change, yet the cumulative impacts of multiple interacting stressors remain difficult to quantify over space and time. We evaluate how long‐term artisanal fishing effort, blast fishing, human population density and marine protected…

Unlocking landscape transient dynamics: Integrating traditional ecological knowledge for enhanced analysis of land‐use changes and forest expansion in a Mediterranean ecosystem
Abstract The Industrial Revolution triggered rural abandonment in Europe and had a profound impact on land configuration and ecosystem dynamics, mainly the growth of forests at the expense of open agricultural habitats. However, rural abandonment has been asynchronous in space and time, depending…

Survey‐based study of public perceptions and preferences for mitigating flood risk via nature‐based solutions in the United States
Abstract Nature‐based solutions (NbS), such as reconnecting floodplains and restoring riparian wetlands, can reduce flood risk as well as provide benefits like carbon storage, habitat support, and recreation. However, wetlands and floodplains are increasingly replaced with urban development and…

Playground tree diversity: A driver of well‐being in preschool children
Abstract Urban greenspaces benefit mental health in adults, with increasing evidence that biodiversity might also play a role. However, we know very little about the impact of urban biodiversity on preschool children's well‐being, despite the critical importance of the formative years…

Deeper sociological insight needed for behaviour change: A systematic review of Chinese ivory consumption
Abstract Chinese consumer demand for ivory threatens vulnerable African elephant populations, despite long‐standing efforts to combat the illegal wildlife trade. Behavioural science approaches have been proposed to address these systemic behaviours. However, their robust use remains uncommon in…

Experienced climate change impacts help explain subjective well‐being—Evidence from 14 nature‐dependent communities
Abstract Climate change profoundly affects well‐being in complex and interconnected ways. However, the relationship between climate change and well‐being has been explored in only a handful of settings, most of which are industrialized. Here, we investigate the association between perceived climate…

Sex matters: European urban birds flee approaching women sooner than approaching men
Abstract Flight initiation distance (FID) is a metric often used to study an individual's perceptions of risk when facing a predatory threat. Longer FID indicates lower risk‐taking, while shorter FID identifies bolder individuals who tolerate greater risk. Until now, no studies have tested the…
