Abstract River rhythmicity refers to the periodic, recurrent phenomena of a riverscape that are synchronized with rise and fall river water, creating regimes time. can serve as lens into temporal dimension formation socio‐ecological dynamics great interest many disciplines. In this paper, we introduce conceptual analytical framework unify riparian human communities, academic disciplines water agencies in approaching research management rivers. We also explore how disruptions riverine rhythms...
The Amazon River Basin's extraordinary social-ecological system is sustained by various water phases, fluxes, and stores that are interconnected across the tropical Andes mountains, lowlands, Atlantic Ocean. This "Andes-Amazon-Atlantic" (AAA) pathway a complex hydroclimatic linked regional cycle through atmospheric circulation continental hydrology. Here, we aim to articulate AAA hydroclimate as foundational for research, management, conservation, governance of aquatic systems Basin. We...
As educators, we should not assume that students are progressing toward intended STEM careers simply because they have persisted and received a degree. In addition to learning biology content scientific skills, need guidance in making optimal career choices. this study, present seven development modules designed specifically motivate consider their successes as scientists applying biological knowledge skills range of careers. These highlight the value utility degree are, therefore, increase...
Abstract Water insecurity, the inability to benefit from affordable, adequate, reliable and safe water, is one of greatest contemporary threats facing humans. While ‘water insecurity’, as a concept, globally recognized serves an essential function in policymaking, it does not capture multiple, relational connections between Indigenous peoples local communities (IPLCs) water systems. We contend that studies insecurity health among IPLCs can be improved by applying systematic approach concept...
Abstract As a cornerstone of biodiversity science, Linnaean taxonomy has been used for almost 300 years to catalogue and organize our knowledge the living world. In this system, names species themselves take on additional functions, such as describing features organism or honoring individuals. Here, we analyze connections between bird descriptions who they honor from 1950 2019 within context global structures power access science interrogate how authority over natural world is designated...
Abstract Despite the importance of freshwater ecosystems to social‐ecological systems Amazon, conservation in region historically has focused on terrestrial ecosystems. Moreover, current information pressing management and needs specific freshwaters is scattered across multiple disciplines generally particular threats, habitats, taxa. This disparateness limits ability researchers practitioners set priorities implement actions that comprehensively address challenges faced by To reduce this...
The Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus) is a culturally iconic wildlife symbol for the South American Andes, but naturally found at very low population densities, and increasingly threatened. Using Range Wide Priority Setting methodology, we (a group of 38 experts) updated historical range (3,230,061 km2), systematized 9998 distribution points across range, identified geographic areas which there was expert knowledge (66%), including where Condors no longer occur (7%), condors are believed to not...
Urban forests are critical infrastructure for mitigating environmental and social challenges cities face. Municipalities non-governmental entities, among others, often set goals (e.g., tree planting or canopy targets) to support urban their benefits. We develop the conceptual underpinnings an analysis of where additional can fit within landscape, while considering factors that influence trees be planted, grow (“practical canopy”). apply this in New York City (NYC) inform setting a goal by...
This study assesses, through the first systematic field observations of winter foraging Tachycineta bicolor (Tree Swallow), whether swallow on fruits Morella cerifera (Southern Wax Myrtle) is correlated to air temperature. We observed Tree Swallows in central Florida for 53 days between 3 November 2011 and 14 January 2012. foraged Southern Myrtle more often colder days, producing a statistically significant negative relationship maximum daily temperature Myrtle. Our results also indicated...

Transformation of urban natural resources management requires engagement with a diversity worldviews related to land and place. Yet, narrow set discourses practices informed by positivist science legacies colonial relations tend dominate the field. Further, sector lacks in staff volunteers. In this perspective, we argue that co-learning spaces can transform thinking practice stewardship. Drawing upon our experiences at [removed], share case Stewardship Salons (co-learning spaces) describe...
