The relation between biodiversity in literature and social and spatial situation of authors
Understanding the nature–culture entanglement by combining the methods of natural sciences and humanities is little approached in neither of the fields. With a specific combination of methods from both digital humanities and ecology, we aimed at identifying several of people's life circumstances that relate to their individual sensitivity towards biodiversity. The circumstances with a strong correlation could be considered and targeted by decisio…
From trees to rain
The ability of pollen to enable the glaciation of supercooled liquid water has been demonstrated in laboratory studies; however, the potential large-scale effect of plants and pollen on clouds, precipitation and climate is pressing knowledge to better understand and project clouds in the current and future climate. Combining ground-based measurements of pollen concentrations and satellite observations of cloud properties within the United States,…
The rise and fall of biodiversity in literature
Nature's non‐material contributions to people are difficult to quantify and one aspect in particular, nature's contributions to communication (NCC), has so far been neglected. Recent advances in automated language processing tools enable us to quantify diversity patterns underlying the distribution of plant and animal taxon labels in creative literature, which we term BiL (biodiversity in literature). We assume BiL to provide a proxy for people's…
Securing the Seas, Securing the State
This essay suggests that the renewed politicization and militarization of the maritime sphere is a product of the increasing need to re-legitimise the current state-based political order. Order can be understood as particular configurations of boundaries as they define political communities through various practices of inclusion and exclusion: East Asian seas have become one of the final frontiers for sustaining national developmental projects, t…
Effective Biodiversity Monitoring Needs a Culture of Integration
Despite conservation commitments, most countries still lack large-scale biodiversity monitoring programs to track progress toward agreed targets. Monitoring program design is frequently approached from a topdown, data-centric perspective that ignores the socio-cultural context of data collection. A rich landscape of people and organizations, with a diversity of motivations and expertise, independently engages in biodiversity monitoring. This dive…
Danger, Development and Legitimacy in East Asian Maritime Politics
Securing Japan in the 'West
Why has the military dimension of the US-Japan relationship remained the central point of reference for Japanese foreign relations, despite the demise of the Soviet Union? Why has Japan, deepening economic interdependence notwithstanding, remained politically distant from East Asia? Based on analysis of statements by Japanese and US political elites and academics regarding the US-Japan alliance, this article argues that the rise of China, cotermi…
Is forest diversity driving ecosystem function and service
Die Alterssicherung Selbständiger in Deutschland und in Europa – Stand und Perspektiven
Angesichts des Wandels der Erwerbstätigenstruktur, veränderter Erwerbsbiografien und einer vermehrten Fluktuation zwischen abhängiger Beschäftigung und Selbständigkeit steht in Deutschland eine verpflichtende Altersvorsorge für Selbständige verstärkt in der öffentlichen Diskussion. Sozialpolitische Relevanz und Handlungsbedarf ergeben sich vor allem wegen des steigenden Anteils von Selbständigen mit niedrigem Einkommen und der damit verbundenen G…
