Towards richer knowledge partnerships between ecology and ethnoecology

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIndigenous and traditional practices based on ethnoecological knowledge are fundamental to biodiversity stewardship and sustainable use. Knowledge partnerships between Indigenous Peoples, traditional local communities, and ecologists can produce richer and fairer understandings of nature. We identify key topical areas where such collaborations can positively transform science, policy, and practice.PMID:37981565 | DOI:10.1016/j.tree.2023.10.010 (Source: Trends in Ecology and Evolution)

Biodiversity modeling advances will improve predictions of nature's contributions to people
Trends Ecol Evol. 2023 Nov 13:S0169-5347(23)00278-1. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2023.10.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAccurate predictions of ecosystem functions and nature's contributions to people (NCP) are needed to prioritize environmental protection and restoration in the Anthropocene. However, our ability to predict NCP is undermined by approaches that rely on biophysical variables and ignore those describing biodiversity, which have strong links to NCP. To foster predictive mapping of NCP, we should harness the latest methods in biodiversity modeling. This field advances rapidly, and new techniques with promising appl...

Facultative lifestyle drives diversity of coral algal symbionts
Trends Ecol Evol. 2023 Nov 10:S0169-5347(23)00270-7. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2023.10.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe photosynthetic symbionts of corals sustain biodiverse reefs in nutrient-poor, tropical waters. Recent genomic data illuminate the evolution of coral symbionts under genome size constraints and suggest that retention of the facultative lifestyle, widespread among these algae, confers a selective advantage when compared with a strict symbiotic existence. We posit that the coral symbiosis is analogous to a 'bioreactor' that selects winner genotypes and allows them to rise to high numbers in a sheltered habit...

Fostering greater recognition of Caribbean traditional plant knowledge
Trends Ecol Evol. 2023 Nov 8:S0169-5347(23)00274-4. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2023.10.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Caribbean is a hotspot of biological and cultural diversity, manifested in traditional plant knowledge of Afrodescendant peoples and other ethnicities. To strengthen the visibility of this knowledge in research, education, and policy making, we propose an eight-step action plan centered on reciprocal relationships with Caribbean plant stewards, especially subsistence farmers.PMID:37949793 | DOI:10.1016/j.tree.2023.10.007 (Source: Trends in Ecology and Evolution)

LIES of omission: complex observation processes in ecology
Trends Ecol Evol. 2023 Nov 8:S0169-5347(23)00276-8. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2023.10.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAdvances in statistics mean that it is now possible to tackle increasingly sophisticated observation processes. The intricacies and ambitious scale of modern data collection techniques mean that this is now essential. Methodological research to make inference about the biological process while accounting for the observation process has expanded dramatically, but solutions are often presented in field-specific terms, limiting our ability to identify commonalities between methods. We suggest a typology of observ...

Novel community data in ecology-properties and prospects
Trends Ecol Evol. 2023 Nov 8:S0169-5347(23)00265-3. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2023.09.017. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNew technologies for monitoring biodiversity such as environmental (e)DNA, passive acoustic monitoring, and optical sensors promise to generate automated spatiotemporal community observations at unprecedented scales and resolutions. Here, we introduce 'novel community data' as an umbrella term for these data. We review the emerging field around novel community data, focusing on new ecological questions that could be addressed; the analytical tools available or needed to make best use of these data; and the pot...

Managing wildlife tolerance to humans for ecosystem goods and services
Trends Ecol Evol. 2023 Nov 8:S0169-5347(23)00275-6. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2023.10.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMany animals can vary their behaviors to better utilize anthropogenic environments. Wildlife living in highly disturbed environments often show an increased tolerance towards humans. While animal behavior can play a vital role in producing and delivering ecosystem services, we know less about how variation in wildlife tolerance to humans can influence ecosystem services. Increased tolerance to humans changes a variety of animal behaviors, and these behavioral modifications, such as changes to foraging, habitat...
