The feedback effects on different sex morphs, however, remains unclear. In this study, taking the gynodioecious <i>Arenaria polytrichiodes</i> as a model species, we aimed to assess the sex-specific facilitation intensity of cushion plant by measuring the beneficiary cover ratio, and to assess the potential costs in cushion reproductive functions by measuring the flower and fruit cover ratios. The total beneficiary cover ratio was similar between females and hermaphrodites. Females produced much less flowers but more fruits than hermaphrodites. These results suggested that females and hermaphrodites possess similar facilitation intensity, and female cushion <i>A</i>. <i>polytrichoides</i> may allocate more resources saved from pollen production to seed production, while hermaphrodites possibly allocate more resources to pollen production hence reducing seed production. The surface areas covered by beneficiaries produced less flowers and fruits than areas without beneficiaries. In addition, strong negative correlations between beneficiary cover and flower cover were detected for both females and hermaphrodites, but the correlation strength were similar for these two sex morphs. However, the correlation between beneficiary cover and fruit cover was only significantly negative for females, suggesting that beneficiary plants negatively affect fruit reproduction of females while have neutral effects on hermaphrodites. All the results suggest that to facilitate other beneficiaries can induce reproductive costs on cushion <i>A. polytrichoides</i>, with females possibly suffering greater cost than hermaphrodites. Such differentiation in reproductive costs between sex morphs, in long-term perspective, may imply sex imbalance in population dynamics.</p>","PeriodicalId":47081,"journal":{"name":"Urban Policy and Research","volume":"19 1","pages":"247-255"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11128911/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81482590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maybe this is a good thing in addressing the ills that Gray has expounded, but maybe not. Surely the issue of zoning remains a complex one, and this book will undoubtedly catalyse salient conversations of this nature in the policy world, piquing the interests of YIMBYs and NIMBYs alike. I would recommend this book to the interested public, or to planners grappling with many of the issues that Gray recounts: sprawl, segregation, affordability, or overly restrictive land use rules.

Sarkissian","doi":"10.1080/08111146.2023.2198287","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/08111146.2023.2198287","url":null,"abstract":"“Planning Wild Cities” is a thoughtful and stylish book by Wendy Steele. Interlaced with her analyses are potent references to contemporary music. Beautiful photographs by her son and partner illustrate this book. Particularly compelling is a “bushfire” painting by Melanie Nightingale. In the introduction, Steele pens a powerful personal story about how she and her partner escaped a terrifying bushfire during the Black Summer of 2020. She claims they had “nowhere to go” and cries, “But where to now?” This introduction is powerful, relevant, experiential, heartfelt, passionate, engaged, and embodied. Steele tells us: “We are beginning to understand that in the context of anthropogenic or human-induced climate change, it is ‘we’ who are on fire”. She identifies the critical value of engagement as she sadly points out: “Little in Australia’s engagement with climate change has changed”. Steele systematically guides us through the weaknesses of the modernist planning project. Her current references are most valuable to the researcher. She thoroughly analyzes the causes and manifestations of Australia’s climate emergency (an area in which she is clearly an expert). She enumerates the multiple ways that planning fails Nature. While valuable, this analysis is not new or about “wildness”. Planning academics have been painfully slow to catch on, while environmental ethicists and Nature writers have been across these issues for decades. Nevertheless, Steels convincingly summarises the well-documented failures of urban planning concerning Nature. Her discussion of “borders” in Chapter 2 conjures compelling images of new ways of conceptualising living at the margins and “the borderlands”. However, Steele buries the notion of “wildness” in familiar analyses of planning’s many well-documented failures. Chapter 4, a discussion of the planning of South Australia’s 1950s new town, Elizabeth, raises the question: “what’s this got to do with wildness?” Government planners sacrificed outer suburban farmland to create this model of the British New Town to house families of immigrants working in a car factory. Direct experience of Elizabeth over many decades suggests that whatever is currently amiss in Elizabeth probably has little to do with wildness. Steele then reminds us: “For we are the wild city. The present’s bleeding heart. How to speak of its aliveness?” Sadly, she fails to address the bigger question: “How to listen to its wildness?” Indeed, that activity must precede speaking of (or for) it in planning contexts. Steele claims, “We are situated in damaged and wounded country”. Her problematic solution for planners of wild cities is stewardship. We should try to avoid this deeply anthropocentric concept in writing about planning. It originated in traditions long central to Judaism, Christianity and Islam. (Not to mention colonialism.) This discussion prompts me to ask, how can we possibly respect “the wild” if we continue to affirm that humans are the peak of ","PeriodicalId":47081,"journal":{"name":"Urban Policy and Research","volume":"41 1","pages":"242 - 244"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44960674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Semi-structured interviews and analysis of participants’ examples showed a multiplicity of nuanced and diverse meanings, the catch-phrase serving as an empty signifier.

This transformation largely unfolded during Australian governments’ embrace of neo-liberal policies which are usually associated with the State’s withdrawal from active economic intervention. A close examination of the Geelong experience, however, shows the State as a key actor, intervening through direct employment, targeted industry support, economic restructuring and decentralisation policies. Our analysis suggests a need to recentre the role of the interventionist State in conceptualisations of economic and social resilience while adding a nuanced regional dimension understandings of neo-liberalism in Australia.","PeriodicalId":47081,"journal":{"name":"Urban Policy and Research","volume":"41 1","pages":"247 - 261"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48404789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
