High-resolution images and drone-based LiDAR reveal striking patterns of vegetation gaps in a wooded spinifex grassland of Western Australia

Stephan Getzin et al.

Summary: The study found that small gaps consistently appeared about 5 meters away from the fairy circles, which are known as the most water-depleted locations in the grassland. The fairy circles were rounder than the small gaps, indicating their function as an extra source of water for the surrounding matrix vegetation. Trees and shrubs had spatial patterns unrelated to fairy circles, likely due to their water uptake in deeper sub-soil layers.

Largest on earth: Discovery of a new type of fairy circle in Angola supports a termite origin

Norbert Jurgens et al.

Summary: In the Namib Desert margin, circular bare patches known as fairy circles are a subject of ongoing scientific debate. Previous studies regarded fairy circles in the region as one type, albeit increasing in size towards the north, but recent evidence shows a distinct discontinuity at -16.23 degrees latitude. South of this line, fairy circles share characteristics of previously described circles from Namibia and South Africa, while north of the line, there are larger fairy circles caused by a different termite species closely related to the harvester termite genus Microhodotermes. This juxtaposition is seen as an example of convergent evolution resulting in similar ecological structures.

Definition of fairy circles and how they differ from other common vegetation gaps and plant rings

Stephan Getzin et al.

Summary: Fairy circles in the Namib Desert are defined as empty gaps in grassland without central insect-nest structures, forming spatially periodic hexagonal patterns with a regional distribution confined within a narrow arid envelope. Unlike other vegetation gaps or plant rings, fairy circles have specific characteristics that set them apart, requiring separate discussion.

Indigenous knowledge and the shackles of wilderness

Michael-Shawn Fletcher et al.

Summary: The current environmental crises on Earth are classified as the Anthropocene, originating from industrialization in mid-20th century Europe and linked to human activities. Despite the belief that protecting pristine wilderness is the solution to environmental crises, this concept overlooks the importance of Indigenous and local peoples in valuing and shaping biodiverse landscapes, leading to the demise of many systems.

People have shaped most of terrestrial nature for at least 12,000 years

Erle C. Ellis et al.

Summary: Archaeological and paleoecological evidence suggest that human societies have been using ecologically transformative land use practices since 10,000 BCE, shaping nearly three quarters of Earth's land by that time. The current biodiversity crisis is not primarily caused by the loss of uninhabited wildlands, but rather from the appropriation, colonization, and intensifying use of biodiverse cultural landscapes long shaped and sustained by prior societies. Recognizing the deep cultural connection with biodiversity will be crucial in resolving the crisis.

Language extinction triggers the loss of unique medicinal knowledge

Rodrigo Camara-Leret et al.

Summary: The study found that language extinction may result in the loss of indigenous knowledge, with over 75% of medicinal plant services being linguistically unique and most of them associated with threatened languages. This suggests that language loss will play a critical role in the extinction of medicinal knowledge compared to biodiversity loss.

Six modes of co-production for sustainability

Josephine M. Chambers et al.

Summary: Co-production is a method that combines research and practice to promote sustainable development, involving diverse goals, terminologies, and practices. By comparing 32 projects from around the world, the study found diversity in co-production methods, including differences in understanding and application of objectives, power, politics, and impact pathways. The analysis identified various modes of co-production, each with unique potential and challenges.

Sharing and storing digital cultural records in Central Australian Indigenous communities

Petronella Vaarzon-Morel et al.

Summary: This article discusses how Indigenous peoples in Central Australia share and preserve cultural knowledge in the digital age, particularly when they have limited access to digital media. By examining current infrastructures and analyzing practices of sharing materials without easy access to databases and the Internet, the study highlights challenges in managing storage and circulation of cultural records. The article also considers how different platforms can either support, extend or challenge Indigenous socialities and ontologies in the process.

The contribution of pathogenic soil microbes to ring formation in an iconic Australian arid grass, Triodia basedowii (Poaceae)

Neil D. Ross et al.

Summary: The research suggests that an accumulation of pathogenic soil microbes may hinder seedling emergence and growth in the center of ring-forming Triodia grasses; Seedling emergence in the center of the rings significantly increased in response to soil sterilization; However, no significant difference in growth between sterile and live soils was found in this study, possibly due to high rates of seedling mortality in all treatments.
