Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...

Purpose To assess relationships between heart rate (HR), ventilation (̇ $$\dot V$$ V ˙ E ), and respiratory frequency (F R ) decoupling and durability of the first ventilatory threshold (VT 1 ), and the strength of practical models to predict power output at VT 1 during prolonged exercise. Methods Durability of VT 1 was assessed via measurements of power output at VT 1 before and after ~ 2.5-h of initially moderate-intensity c...

Purpose Power output at the moderate-to-heavy-intensity transition decreases during prolonged exercise, and resilience to this has been termed ‘durability’. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between durability and the effect of prolonged exercise on severe-intensity performance, and explore intramuscular correlates of durability. Methods On separate days, 13 well-trained cyclists and triathletes (V̇O 2 p...

The appeal of trait‐based approaches for assessing environmental vulnerabilities arises from the potential insight they provide into the mechanisms underlying the changes in populations and community structure. Traits can provide ecologically based explanations for observed responses to environmental changes, along with predictive power gained by developing relationships between traits and environmental variables. Despite thes...

Many of the skills and resources associated with botanic gardens and arboreta, including plant taxonomy, horticulture, and seed bank management, are fundamental to ecological restoration efforts, yet few of the world's botanic gardens are involved in the science or practice of restoration. Thus, we examined the potential role of botanic gardens in these emerging fields. We believe a reorientation of certain existing institutio...
