Working with Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) in large‐scale ecological assessments
There have been calls for greater inclusion of Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) in applied ecosystems research and ecological assessments. The Intergovernmental Science‐Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Global Assessment (GA) is the first global scale assessment to systematically engage with ILK and issues of concern to Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLC). In this paper, we review and reflect on how th…
Levers and leverage points for pathways to sustainability
Humanity is on a deeply unsustainable trajectory. We are exceeding planetary boundaries and unlikely to meet many international sustainable development goals and global environmental targets. Until recently, there was no broadly accepted framework of interventions that could ignite the transformations needed to achieve these desired targets and goals. As a component of the IPBES Global Assessment, we conducted an iterative expert deliberation pro…
Assessing nature's contributions to people
Recognizing culture, and diverse sources of knowledge, can improve assessments
Linking the influence and dependence of people on biodiversity across scales
Why protect nature? Rethinking values and the environment
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans the biological, physical, and social sciences.
The social value of biodiversity and ecosystem services from the perspectives of different social actors

El Programa de Pensión Alimentaria (no contributivo) para adultos mayores en México, Distrito Federal ante el envejecimiento demográfico
Se realizan diversas estimaciones que evidencian los alcances y limitaciones del programa de pensión alimentaria para adultos mayores en México, Distrito Federal (DF), ante su inminente envejecimiento poblacional. Según los últimos datos censales, se tiene y se presentará un proceso más acelerado de lo previsto del fenómeno, lo cual traería como consecuencia directa, serias implicaciones económicas para mantener en operación al programa. Se emple…
Tobacco use in the Dominican Republic
Systematic qualitative methods provided pertinent information about tobacco attitudes and use to guide subsequent project steps. Integrating qualitative then quantitative research can be replicated in similar countries that lack empirical data on the cultural dimensions of tobacco use
Proteomic comparison of human and great ape blood plasma reveals conserved glycosylation and differences in thyroid hormone metabolism
Most blood plasma proteins are glycosylated. These glycoproteins typically carry sialic acid‐bearing sugar chains, which can modify the observed molecular weights and isoelectric points of those proteins during electrophoretic analyses. To explore changes in protein expression and glycosylation that occurred during great ape and human evolution, we subjected multiple blood plasma samples from all these species to high‐resolution proteomic analysi…
Ecological approaches to rural development projects
Most rural development projects include ecological considerations, and most conservation projects include some reference to sustainable development. However, conservation projects frequently fail because they do not incorporate local communities' perceptions and needs. Many development projects are also unsuccessful because they are not based on adequate ecological assessment. We focus here on the most important ecological issues to be addressed …
A structural difference between the cell surfaces of humans and the great apes
The sialic acids are major components of the cell surfaces of animals of the deuterostome lineage. Earlier studies suggested that humans may not express N-glycolyl-neuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), a hydroxylated form of the common sialic acid N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac). We find that while Neu5Gc is essentially undetectable on human plasma proteins and erythrocytes, it is a major component in all the four extant great apes (chimpanzee, bonobo, gor…
