Situational social influence leading to non-compliance with conservation rules
Trends Ecol Evol. 2023 Aug 26:S0169-5347(23)00214-8. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2023.08.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIt is well established that the decisions that we make can be strongly influenced by the behaviour of others. However, testing how social influence can lead to non-compliance with conservation rules during an individual's decision-making process has received little research attention. We synthesise advances in understanding of conformity and rule-breaking in individuals and in groups, and take a situational approach to studying the social dynamics and ensuing social identity changes that can lead to non-compl...

Name and shame: can taxonomists agree on systematic reforms?
Trends Ecol Evol. 2023 Aug 24:S0169-5347(23)00210-0. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2023.07.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Linnean nomenclatural system dominates in taxonomy, despite various ethical issues being raised regarding the rules applied to this approach. Some recent proposals to adapt the system have been dismissed as destabilizing by many taxonomists. However, simple rule changes and amendments to address these issues could be implemented without excessive disruption.PMID:37633726 | DOI:10.1016/j.tree.2023.07.008 (Source: Trends in Ecology and Evolution)

Bridging theory and experiments of priority effects
Trends Ecol Evol. 2023 Aug 24:S0169-5347(23)00212-4. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2023.08.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPriority effects play a key role in structuring natural communities, but considerable confusion remains about how they affect different ecological systems. Synthesizing previous studies, we show that this confusion arises because the mechanisms driving priority and the temporal scale at which they operate differ among studies, leading to divergent outcomes in species interactions and biodiversity patterns. We suggest grouping priority effects into two functional categories based on their mechanisms: frequency...
