Human health implications from consuming eggs produced near a derelict metalliferous mine: a case study (2022)
Journal Article

Lead pollution from metalliferous mines can have major environmental and health effects long after the mines have closed. Animals living near derelict mine sites can inadvertently ingest lead-contaminated soils, causing them to accumulate lead and po...

Reduced ‘fates of the body’ and ‘production of value for others’ in the global garment industry: Thinking with Berlant on eating and hunger during the COVID-19 pandemic (2022)
Journal Article

During the COVID-19 pandemic, suspended and laid off garment workers struggled on severely reduced incomes to meet the cost of food for themselves and their families. It is in this context of ‘double crisis’ that our commentary focuses on the diminis...

Planet Patrolling: A citizen science brand audit of anthropogenic litter in the context of national legislation and international policy (2022)
Journal Article

Anthropogenic Litter (AL) is ubiquitous in distribution and diverse in type and impact. Citizen science AL clean-ups engage citizens with the environment and have the potential to generate data that can inform policy. Here we present a detailed citiz...

Biodiversity: The role of interaction diversity (2022)
Journal Article

Links between the diversity of ecological interactions and community structure have long been recognised but remain broadly understudied. A new study concludes that vertebrate trophic interaction diversity is nearly uncorrelated with either phylogene... Read More about Biodiversity: The role of interaction diversity.

Taxonomic revision and conservation assessment of the Southeast Asian freshwater mussel genus Chamberlainia Simpson, 1900 (2022)
Journal Article

Chamberlainia hainesiana (Lea, 1856) (Unionidae) is the most economically important freshwater mussel in Thailand and is commonly used in food, spiritual ceremonies and pearl culture. Despite the clear economic importance of this monotypic genus, the...

Seizing the Means of Circulation: Choke Points and Logistical Resistance in Coco Solo, Panama (2022)
Journal Article

Recent studies of logistics have embraced the “choke point” thesis: the notion that a strategically positioned group of workers or insurgents can exercise outsize power by disrupting the circulation of goods through the supply chain. This article exa... Read More about Seizing the Means of Circulation: Choke Points and Logistical Resistance in Coco Solo, Panama.

Multi-model evaluation of catchment- and global-scale hydrological model simulations of drought characteristics across eight large river catchments (2022)
Journal Article

Although global- and catchment-scale hydrological models are often shown to accurately simulate long-term runoff time-series, far less is known about their suitability for capturing hydrological extremes, such as droughts. Here we evaluated simulatio... Read More about Multi-model evaluation of catchment- and global-scale hydrological model simulations of drought characteristics across eight large river catchments.

Lianas decelerate tropical forest thinning during succession (2022)
Journal Article

The well-established pattern of forest thinning during succession predicts an increase in mean tree biomass with decreasing tree density. The forest thinning pattern is commonly assumed to be driven solely by tree-tree competition. The presence of no... Read More about Lianas decelerate tropical forest thinning during succession.

Climatic and biogeographical drivers of functional diversity in the flora of the Canary Islands (2022)
Journal Article

Aim: Functional traits can help us to elucidate biogeographical and ecological processes driving assemblage structure. We analysed the functional diversity of plant species of different evolutionary origins across an island archipelago, along environ...

‘Worn out’: debt discipline, hunger, and the gendered contingencies of the COVID-19 pandemic amongst Cambodian garment workers (2022)
Journal Article

Drawing on 203 quantitative surveys with women workers in Cambodia and a further set of semi-structured interviews with 60 original participants, this paper is one of the very first to present empirically grounded research from garment workers on the...

An Assessment of Geophysical Survey Techniques for Characterising the Subsurface Around Glacier Margins, and Recommendations for Future Applications (2022)
Journal Article

Geophysical surveys provide an efficient and non-invasive means of studying subsurface conditions in numerous sedimentary settings. In this study, we explore the application of three geophysical methods to a proglacial environment, namely ground pene...

Geodiversity and biodiversity on a volcanic island: The role of scattered phonolites for plant diversity and performance (2022)
Journal Article

Oceanic islands are cradles of endemism, contributing substantially to global biodiversity. A similarity in magmatic origin translates into high global comparability of substrates of volcanic islands on the oceanic crust with, however, slightly chemi...

Response of a low elevation carbonate lake in the Yucatan Peninsula (Mexico) to climatic and human forcings (2022)
Journal Article

The importance of climate change, specifically drought, across the Maya region in the northern Neotropics, remains a topic of lively debate. Part of this discussion hinges on the coherency of response to climatic variability across different archives...

Long-term trends in diatom diversity and palaeoproductivity: a 16000-year multidecadal record from Lake Baikal, southern Siberia (2022)
Journal Article

Biological diversity is inextricably linked to community stability and ecosystem functioning, but our understanding of these relationships in freshwater ecosystems is largely based on short-term observational, experimental, and modelling approaches....

Disruption of cultural burning promotes shrub encroachment and unprecedented wildfires (2022)
Journal Article

Recent catastrophic fires in Australia and North America have raised broad-scale questions about how the cessation of Indigenous burning practices has impacted fuel accumulation and structure. For sustainable coexistence with fire, a better understan... Read More about Disruption of cultural burning promotes shrub encroachment and unprecedented wildfires.

Aquatic Insect Bioconstructions Modify Fine-Sediment Entrainment and Mobility (2022)

Making (remote) sense of lianas (2022)
Journal Article

Lianas (woody vines) are abundant and diverse, particularly in tropical ecosystems. Lianas use trees for structural support to reach the forest canopy, often putting leaves above their host tree.
