Arlidge, editors. 2024. &lt;i&gt;Natural Science and Indigenous Knowledge: The Americas Experience&lt;/i&gt;. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Working with Indigenous peoples, valuing Indigenous knowledge systems, and weaving together Indigenous and non-Indigenous science are critical to cultivating a healthy and just world. The book &lt;i&gt;Natural Science and Indigenous Knowledge: The Americas Experience&lt;/i&gt; is positioned as an edited volume to introduce ecologists to the many ways scholars have collaborated with Indigenous knowledge holders and with Indigenous Peoples. The eight chapters presented in the volume can be read as a collection or as stand-alone pieces, which focus on examples from across the Americas. Chapters are authored and coauthored by practitioners, experts, elders, and academics in diverse social science, education, and science-based fields. Indigenous authorship is represented, although the book is not Indigenous-led. The chapters of varying lengths provide a set of case studies that advocate for recognizing Indigenous knowledge systems as science and share how integrating diverse knowledge systems coproduces new insights that assist with analyses of complex socioecological processes. Findings reported from the works have the potential to foster coproduced research that inform policy and management strategies to sustain ecological and human well-being.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This volume, in part, can be read as a response to the overwhelming number of international conventions, peer-reviewed articles, workshops, and other initiatives that have sought to recognize Indigenous knowledge holders and knowledge systems as part of the solution to local to global change. For example, actors at international sites of environmental governance have recently ratified what Indigenous leaders have long articulated: Indigenous peoples and their placed-based knowledge systems, inclusive of their cosmological and spiritual foundations, are critical to addressing the precarity, uncertainty, and complexity of the current planetary crisis. Furthermore, Indigenous peoples' meaningful participation within decision-making bodies (local, state, and international) around topics that directly affect their homelands and livelihoods is necessary for bioculturally diverse and self-determined futures. The &lt;i&gt;United Nations Declaration of Rights for Indigenous Peoples&lt;/i&gt; (2007), the &lt;i&gt;United Nations Framework for the Convention on Climate Change&lt;/i&gt; (UNFCCC) Paris Agreement (2015), the &lt;i&gt;Escazú Agreement&lt;/i&gt; (2018), and articles ratified in the &lt;i&gt;Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services&lt;/i&gt; (IPBES) and &lt;i&gt;Convention on Biological Diversity&lt;/i&gt; (CBD) all in different ways articulate recognition for, comanagement with, and transdisciplinary engagement alongside Indigenous peoples and Indigenous knowledge systems (see, e.g., Lightfoot &lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the United States, th","PeriodicalId":93418,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America","volume":"106 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bes2.2212","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"From Prototype to Reality: Moving Beyond the Technology Hype in Ecological Research","authors":"Eline Lorer,&nbsp;Dries Landuyt","doi":"10.1002/bes2.2209","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bes2.2209","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;In the face of accelerating anthropogenic pressures threatening global ecosystems, the need for environmental monitoring grows ever more important. Continuous tracking of species and ecosystems helps us to understand ecosystem dynamics and functioning in these uncertain times. Scientists and conservationists everywhere are emphasizing that technological advancements can improve monitoring efforts by increasing spatial and temporal resolution and allowing for real-time data streams (Hahn et al. &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;, Speaker et al. &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). The enhanced understanding of global ecosystem responses to, for instance, climate change is critical to inform policy decisions and guide conservation and environmental management (Allan et al. &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;). More and more, the scientific and conservation community are creating new affordable monitoring systems fully tailored to their specific needs, mostly by leveraging open-source electronics such as the Arduino or Raspberry Pi platforms (e.g., Pearce &lt;span&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt;, Jolles &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;, Mühlbauer et al. &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). These success stories are published in various scientific journals, but when problems or failures occur they remain underexposed, potentially creating inflated expectations for readers (Lahoz-Monfort et al. &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;). While reflective practice (see Box 1) is strongly embedded in social sciences research, it is rarely adopted in the natural sciences, let alone distributed via scientific publications (but see the Centre and Journal of Trial and Error; https://trialanderror.org/).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This piece of reflection grew from the complications we faced and insights we gained when developing an innovative phenology monitoring system ourselves. With this writing, we want to look beyond the technology hype and associated good news narratives to think about a future with sustainable technological innovations for ecological research and conservation. Sustainability, in this case, implies performance, stability, and reuse, which is definitely not the same as achieving successful measurements over 1 week, month, or year for one project. We firmly believe in the potential of technology to help us better understand the challenges our planet is faced with and we hope this testimony can serve as a motivation to take on ambitious innovation projects but with a realist view and a collaborative mindset.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Within our research project, we study how global environmental change affects flowering and vegetative phenology of forest understorey plant species. More specifically, we assess phenological shifts in a global change mesocosm experiment in which small plant communities are being exposed to warming, light addition, and nutrient addition. To investigate flowering phenology, we counted flowers every 2 days throughout the flowering season of 2021 and 2022 (Lorer et al. &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;). Since the temperate forest understory harbors both early flowering and summer flowering s","PeriodicalId":93418,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America","volume":"106 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bes2.2209","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143111816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each year the ESA hosts an annual meeting that attracts individuals from the US and around the world to share their work and according to the society's website (www.esa.org), ~4,000 individuals attend the meeting, which results in study abstracts being accessed for a year following the conference. In 2024, the 109th annual meeting was held in Long Beach, California, USA from August 3 to 9, and sessions were loosely organized around the theme of “Supporting Ecologists Throughout their Careers.” This meeting review summarizes the thematic takeaways of Contributed Oral Session 173, &lt;i&gt;Education Research and Assessment 2&lt;/i&gt;, held during the 2024 ESA Annual Meeting on August 8th, related to the conference theme.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Emergent from this session was a thematic focus on supporting students in learning within a discipline that inherently engages with wicked and complex socioecological problems. As E. P. Odum posited in &lt;span&gt;1977&lt;/span&gt;, ecology is inherently an “integrative discipline that links physical and biological processes and forms and bridge between the natural and social sciences.” Presentations from this session addressed this integration both from a learning perspective, in supporting students in the practices of scaffolded reasoning across disciplinary boundaries to address SES problems, and applying theory and practice from the social sciences in support of ecological education.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Below, we will summarize the four presentations given in this session. Because several, but not all, authors have worked together, these presentations were placed in this single session. Below, we summarize the speaker's presentations and connection to the theme.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rebecca Jordan (Michigan State University) shared a presentation on meeting students' educational goals around climate change education. In this session, Jordan focused on gaps in students' knowledge about climate change using the context of food systems (see Jordan et al. &lt;span&gt;2023a&lt;/span&gt;). While students were able to define the problem and some of the drivers, they struggled to discuss solutions. Indeed, students themselves acknowledged this gap and indicated that more climate change education, especially in the social sciences, is warranted and needed in ecological curriculum. Jordan proceeded to share a socioecological systems (SES) perspective where social, natural, and altered drivers work in concert to drive global change and ended the session with a call for more research on college students' understanding of SESs to tailor postsecondary climate change education to both ecology students and in general STEM education.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maria Ceron (University of South Florida) shared information on the societal programs to support diverse communit","PeriodicalId":93418,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America","volume":"106 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bes2.2207","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143111023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
