Abstract Formulation of targets and establishing which factors in different contexts will achieve these are critical to successful decarbonization the building sector. To contribute this, we have performed an evidence map roadmaps for zero low energy carbon buildings (ZLECB) worldwide, including a list classification documents on-line geographical map, description gaps, narrative review knowledge gluts. We retrieved 1219 scientific from Scopus, extracted metadata 274 documents, identified...
Natural climate solutions (NCS)-actions to conserve, restore, and modify natural modified ecosystems increase carbon storage or avoid greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions-are increasingly regarded as important pathways for change mitigation, while contributing our global conservation efforts, overall planetary resilience, sustainable development goals. Recently, projections posit that terrestrial-based NCS can potentially capture the emission of at least 11 Gt (gigatons) dioxide equivalent a year,...
Enteroviruses comprise a large group of mammalian pathogens that often utilize two open reading frames (ORFs) to encode their proteins: the upstream protein (UP) and main polyprotein. In some enteroviruses, in addition canonical AUG (uAUG), there is another may represent an alternative initiation site. An analysis enterovirus sequences containing additional AUGs identified several clusters, including strains pathogenic Enterovirus alphacoxsackie E. coxsackiepol. Using ribosome profiling on...
Understanding how the conservation of nature can lead to improvement in human conditions is a research area with significant growth and attention. Progress towards effective requires understanding mechanisms for achieving impact within complex social-ecological systems. Causal models are useful tools defining plausible pathways from actions impacts on people. Evaluating potential different strategies delivering co-benefits people will require use testing clear causal that explicitly define...
Abstract Many researchers working in conservation aspire to produce “actionable science” inform practice. In order understand what it takes actionable science, we interviewed 71 who have worked on producing science conservation. We asked about the attributes of and various factors that, their experience, aid or hinder its production. focused specifically that correspond individual behaviors those relate organizational level policies practices. Six best practices associated with production...
Abstract Mounting environmental crises and the persistent factors driving them require a reconsideration of conservation approaches. Participatory monitoring evaluation (PME) is increasingly valued as way for Indigenous peoples local community actors to lead or engage in activities that directly affect them. While research shows PME can yield favorable outcomes communities (e.g., knowledge co‐production, social learning, trust building) conservation, practical insights are scattered. Here we...
Abstract Background Tropical coastal marine ecosystems (TCMEs) are rich in biodiversity and provide many ecosystem services, including carbon storage, shoreline protection, food. Coastal areas home to increasing numbers of people population growth is expected continue, putting TCMEs under pressure from development as well broader environmental changes associated with climate change, e.g. sea level rise ocean acidification. Attention by conservation organizations has increased although a...
Abstract Buildings are responsible for a major share of global final energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions. An analysis the worldwide observed drivers demand can highlight policy actions most suited to drive decarbonization building sector. To contribute such an analysis, we carry out mapping literature on determinants CO emissions from buildings. The work includes list classification relevant studies in on-line geographical map, description trends gaps, narrative review....
Abstract Capacity development is critical to long-term conservation success, yet we lack a robust and rigorous understanding of how well its effects are being evaluated. A comprehensive summary who monitoring evaluating capacity interventions, what evaluated how, would help in the evidence-based guidance inform design implementation decisions for future interventions evaluations their effectiveness. We built an evidence map by reviewing peer-reviewed grey literature published since 2000,...
Abstract Background Nature-based interventions (NbIs) for climate change mitigation include a diverse set of aimed at conserving, restoring, and/or managing natural and modified ecosystems to improve their ability store sequester carbon avoid greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Recent projections estimate that terrestrial NbIs can lead more than one-third the necessary meet Paris Climate Agreement by 2030. Further, these provide co-benefits in form social ecological outcomes. Despite growing...
Abstract A range of interventions have been established to manage international wildlife trade and protect traded species; however, there is little consensus as whether, when, how they are effective. Here, through a comprehensive, systematic review >8000 articles, we appraise the evidence for effectiveness on conservation, biological, and/or socio‐economic outcomes. Our examined four intervention types: “laws regulations”, “detection enforcement”, “efforts reduce threats species”,...
Evidence assessment—identifying, evaluating, and synthesizing data findings from previous studies—is important to inform environmental decision-making but can be slow resource intensive. Users seeking more efficient approaches have developed a wide range of definitions methods for Rapid Assessment (REA), raising concerns about consistency rigor. To improve confidence in REA, we convened an international group evidence users researchers define REA applications. Our iteratively consensus...
Background: The international trade of wildlife (animals and plants) provides critical resources for human communities worldwide contributes to local, national, economies. However, increasing demand presents a significant threat both species ecosystems as well wildlife-centered livelihoods. Concerns regarding illicit unsustainable harvest has propelled regulation the top political conservation agendas. Consequently, broad range interventions have been established regulate address...
