Review of gender, socioeconomic status, and ethnic background considerations reported in active school travel intervention studies (2021)
Journal Article

Introduction: Trends over the last half century have shown that fewer children today are engaging in active modes of travel to and from school than in previous generations. Interventions promoting active school travel (AST) can be effective at revers...

Simulating land use changes, sediment yields, and pesticide use in the Upper Paraguay River Basin: Implications for conservation of the Pantanal wetland (2021)
Journal Article

As a consequence of accelerated and excessive use of pesticides in tropical regions, wilderness areas are under threat; this includes the Pantanal wetlands in the Upper Paraguay River Basin (UPRB). Using a Land Cover Land Use Change (LCLUC) modelling...

The role of anthropogenic habitats in freshwater mussel conservation (2021)
Journal Article

Anthropogenic freshwater habitats may provide undervalued prospects for long?term conservation as part of species conservation planning. This fundamental, but overlooked, issue requires attention considering the pace that humans have been altering na...

Different sets of traits explain abundance and distribution patterns of European plants at different spatial scales (2021)
Journal Article

Aim: Plant functional traits summarize the main variability in plant form and function across taxa and biomes. We assess whether geographic range size, climatic niche size, and local abundance of plants can be predicted by sets of traits (trait syndr...

Vulnerabilities associated with slow-onset events (SoEs) of climate change: multi-level analysis in the context of Pakistan (2021)
Journal Article

This paper explores physical, psychological, social, and institutional vulnerabilities associated with slow-onset events (SoEs) of climate change. Based on review of interdisciplinary research in the context of Pakistan, this paper reviews the releva... Read More about Vulnerabilities associated with slow-onset events (SoEs) of climate change: multi-level analysis in the context of Pakistan.

The relationship between niche breadth and range size of beech (Fagus) species worldwide (2021)
Journal Article

Aim: This work explores whether the commonly observed positive range size–niche breadth relationship exists for Fagus, one of the most dominant and widespread broad-leaved deciduous tree genera in temperate forests of the Northern Hemisphere. Additio... Read More about The relationship between niche breadth and range size of beech (Fagus) species worldwide.

Co-occurrence frequency in vegetation patches decreases towards the harsh edge along an arid volcanic elevational gradient (2021)
Journal Article

Positive plant-plant interactions are thought to drive vegetation patterns in harsh environments, such as semi-arid areas. According to the stress-gradient hypothesis (SGH), the role of positive interactions between species (facilitation) is expected... Read More about Co-occurrence frequency in vegetation patches decreases towards the harsh edge along an arid volcanic elevational gradient.

Globally observed trends in mean and extreme river flow attributed to climate change (2021)
Journal Article

Anthropogenic climate change is expected to affect global river flow. Here, we analyze time series of low, mean, and high river flows from 7250 observatories around the world covering the years 1971 to 2010. We identify spatially complex trend patter...

Anterior cruciate ligament injury: Towards a gendered environmental approach (2021)
Journal Article

Background: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury rate for girls/women has not changed in over 20 years, and they remain 3-6 times more likely to experience injury compared with boys/men. To date, ACL injury prevention and management has been a... Read More about Anterior cruciate ligament injury: Towards a gendered environmental approach.

Visible and invisible risks: Exploring washing and hygiene practices with women living on low income in Kenya (2021)
Journal Article

Shifting environmental conditions and poor or insufficient hygiene facilitates the transmission of bacteria and viruses between and within species of animals; between humans; and between humans and animals. Taking a One Health perspective, we used in... Read More about Visible and invisible risks: Exploring washing and hygiene practices with women living on low income in Kenya.
