Food for flower‐visiting insects: Appreciating common native wild flowering plants
Native wild flowering plants provide important season‐round nectar and pollen resources for flower‐visiting insects, but many are unappreciated or even disliked by members of the public; for example ivy ( Hedera spp.), dandelion ( Taraxacum officinale agg.) and bramble ( Rubus fruticosus agg.). This antipathy has received little research attention despite a pressing need for a societal shift towards greater awareness of such plants and recognitio…
People, nature and large herbivores in a shared landscape: A mixed‐method study of the ecological and social outcomes from agriculture and conservation
In this exploratory study, we employ an interdisciplinary approach to explore potential synergies and trade‐offs between the needs of people and nature in the context of agroecological farming and nature conservation. Ecological field studies and management surveys from six sites were combined with a participatory‐deliberative appraisal exercise using the Multi‐Criteria Mapping (MCM) method. All six study sites and all four land use options in th…
Towards understanding interactions between Sustainable Development Goals: The role of environment–human linkages
Only 10 years remain to achieve all Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) globally, so there is a growing need to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of action by targeting multiple SDGs. The SDGs were conceived as an ‘indivisible whole’, but interactions between SDGs need to be better understood. Several previous assessments have begun to explore interactions including synergies and possible conflicts between the SDGs, and differ widely in …
