Geography of Discourse about a European Natural Park
Listening to what people discuss about natural landscapes is important, particularly for the management of protected areas where a range of uses are permitted with the potential for conflict. Increasingly social media platforms provide insights into such public discourses. Retrieving data from Twitter, we conducted a bilingual quantitative analysis of the content and sentiments in 2,060 tweets in Portuguese (67%), or English (29%) about Arrábida …
Using social media images to assess ecosystem services in a remote protected area in the Argentinean Andes
Orchid conservation and research
Using crowd-sourced photos to assess seasonal patterns of visitor use in mountain-protected areas
Quantifying anthropogenic threats to orchids using the IUCN Red List
Orchids
Mountain environments and tourism
Publishing not perishing
Current understandings suggest that three aspects of writing practice underpin the research student publication process: knowledge creation, text production and identity formation. Publishing a literature review is the first opportunity most students have to publish. This article compares the pedagogical benefits of different literature review methods. It discusses why narrative reviews are challenging for novices both in terms of process and out…
Is tourism damaging ecosystems in the Andes? Current knowledge and an agenda for future research
The benefits of publishing systematic quantitative literature reviews for PhD candidates and other early-career researchers
Universities increasingly expect students to publish during a PhD candidature because it benefits the candidate, supervisor, institution, and wider community. Here, we describe a method successfully used by early-career researchers including PhD candidates to undertake and publish literature reviews – a challenge for researchers new to a field. Our method allows researchers new to a field to systematically analyse existing academic literature to …
Limits to Climate Change Adaptation
Climate change is occurring and not being mitigated, motivating adaptation but adaptation strategies can have biophysical, economic, technological, and social limits. We review publicly available documents to assess how successful current and proposed adaptation strategies may be for the Australian Alps, including likely limits and potential collaborations and conflicts among stakeholders. Conservation managers, the tourism industry, and local co…
A systematic quantitative review of urban tree benefits, costs, and assessment methods across cities in different climatic zones
Past results and future directions in urban community gardens research
Adventure Racing Events in Australia
This paper investigates the adventure racing phenomenon in Australia, highlighting the nature and extent of adventure racing, its potential environmental and socio-cultural impacts, and the challenges and opportunities it presents for protected area management. We argue that there is cause for concern about the impacts of adventure racing, in particular in a context where activities of this kind are likely to continue and increase in popularity, …
Roadside Weeds of the Snowy Mountains, Australia
Weeds are an increasing threat to the biodiversity of mountain regions worldwide, including in Australia. We reviewed 18 surveys of 401 sites conducted between 1986 and 2004 and examined the distribution and characteristics of common weeds on roadsides in the Snowy Mountains, Australia, to determine the range of natural habitats these weeds are found in, whether they are limited to disturbed sites, whether they are also common in other mountain r…
TRIPs‐plus’ patent privileges—an intellectual property ‘Cargo cult’ in Australia
This article challenges the desirability of implementing more than the minimum patent standards required by Australia’s commitment to the World Trade Organisation’s Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (so‐called ‘TRIPs‐plus’ measures). We argue that there has not been an adequate analysis of what the various TRIPs‐plus measures actually are under the Patents Act 1990 (Cth), and that these measures have not been subj…
