Bridging the Gap
Primates live in complex social systems, and social contact and disease interact to shape the evolution of animal (including human) sociality. Researchers use social network analysis (SNA), a method of mapping and measuring contact patterns within a network of individuals, to understand the role that social interactions play in disease transmission. Here, we review lessons learned from SNA of humans and nonhuman primates (NHPs) and explore how th…
Who, where, when
Understanding the observation process is key to effective use of opportunistic biodiversity data from low-structure citizen science. We investigated how observer characteristics, including activity level (enthusiastic, moderate, or short-term) and primary location (resident or visitor), influenced spatial and taxonomic patterns of iNaturalist participation in the Hawaiian Islands from 2008 to 2021. We found that visitors represented nearly two-th…
Drought-vulnerable vegetation increases exposure of disadvantaged populations to heatwaves under global warming
Biodiversity
Biodiversity can be defined as the variation of life forms (genetic, species, taxa) within a given ecosystem or region, or across the entire Earth. Measurements of biodiversity have been undertaken by humans for thousands of years. Recently, there has been a rapid evolution of genetic techniques and geographical information systems databases that have changed the way biodiversity is studied. Latitudinal gradients of species are well established, …

Urban vegetation and income segregation in drylands
To better understand how urbanization affects the amount and timing of urban vegetation in drylands we investigated remotely sensed vegetation patterns across seven large metropolitan regions in the southwestern United States. We asked (1) how low density urban land cover differed from adjacent wildland grass, herb, and shrub land covers in both the amount of vegetation and the length of the growing season, (2) how neighborhood income affected pa…
A Dynamic History of Climate Change and Human Impact on the Environment from Keālia Pond, Maui, Hawaiian Islands
High-resolution palynological, charcoal, and sedimentological analysis of a sediment core from Keālia Pond, Maui, coupled with archaeological and historical records, provides a detailed chronology of vegetation and climate change since before human arrival. These records provide new evidence for human–environment linkages during the Hawaiian Polynesian period and subsequent European period. Prior to human arrival, the charcoal record indicates th…
Non-Native Plant Invasion of the Hawaiian Islands
The Hawaiian Islands hold a unique geographic position that has resulted in plant species with remarkable evolutionary adaptations to island life as well as the highest proportion of plant endemism (90%) in the world. Polynesians and Europeans significantly reduced the extent of native vegetation types, and Europeans introduced non-native plants that have become highly invasive. The Hawaiian Islands have been extremely susceptible to invasion due…

The Laity in Biblical Perspective
“The ‘new direction’ which a biblical perspective on the Christian laity requires of us today ... will be realized only if the ‘nonclergy’ are willing to move up, if the ‘clergy’ are willing to move over, and if all God's people are willing to move out.”
