Mapping the patriarchy in conservation by Leonie Bossert, Tom Crompton, Anwesha Dutta, Joni Seager

“…In this article, we discuss one aspect that undermines conservation’s effectiveness while at the same time being underexplored in the academic and political discourse on conservation: patriarchal norms and structures. We argue that these norms and structures, which promote male supremacy and inequality, are central to driving environmental destruction. …”

What factors enable sustainable university-industry collaboration communities? Evidence from a symbiosis theory perspective by Jun Liu, Xuewei Wang, Wenqing Miao, Xiurong Wang

“…. • University-Industry Collaboration (UIC) faces challenges in implementation, including communication barriers between institutions and misaligned expectations between stakeholders • Traditional approaches to university-enterprise cooperation often lack systematic frameworks for sustainable collaboration and resource sharing • The success of industry-education partnerships heavily depends on institutional support and policy frameworks, but practical guidelines for implementation are often unclear • Introduces a comprehensive ''three-dimensional symbiosis'' framework that provides practical guidance for establishing and maintaining effective industry-education partnerships • Identifies specific mechanisms for successful collaboration, including resource sharing, information exchange, interest alignment, and organizational support structures • Presents evidence-based strategies for overcoming common barriers in University-Industry Collaboration (UIC), based on systematic analysis of real-world implementations • Educational institutions should establish dedicated communication channels and resource-sharing platforms to facilitate ongoing collaboration with industry partners • Policy makers need to develop targeted incentive mechanisms and clear evaluation criteria to encourage sustained participation from both educational institutions and industry partners • Practitioners should focus on building long-term relationships through structured programs that address both immediate needs and strategic development goals of all stakeholders…”

Road mitigation is a demographic filter for grizzly bears by Adam T. Ford, Mirjam Barrueto, Anthony P. Clevenger

“…Using data on grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) movement in Banff National Park (AB, Canada), we focused on selection by family groups (adult females travelling with young) and singleton (adult male or female) bears for 5 crossing structure designs distributed among 44 sites. Using data from the world's longest running monitoring program (1997–2014) on wildlife crossing structure use, we created an economic model to estimate demographic‐specific cost‐effectiveness for each crossing structure design. …”
