Summary: Restoring functional ecosystems is crucial for protecting global biodiversity and addressing climate crises. Rewilding, as a proactive tool for ecosystem restoration, has gained attention, although it has been criticized for lacking evidence-based research. A scoping review reveals significant growth in European rewilding projects, with evidence supporting the restoration of biodiversity, ecosystem services, and nature-based economies. To advance the field, country-specific networks of monitored rewilding projects should be established, and caution should be taken when standardizing the assessment of rewilding success. Careful management of large herbivore refaunation efforts is also emphasized to mitigate welfare concerns, overgrazing, and reputational risks.

Summary: This review and case study aims to analyze the role of agricultural rewilding in biodiversity conservation and restoration, and identify research questions. The authors found that agricultural rewilding combines ecological restoration with agricultural production, primarily focusing on herbivores. The main actions to enhance rewilding include extensive grazing and habitat restoration.

Summary: As we enter the United Nations' Decade of Restoration, we are faced with two challenges: the need for scaling up restoration efforts due to past global failures, and the changing focus on functional and dynamic restoration goals. Rewilding, an emerging ecological restoration strategy, provides a promising avenue for restoration funding in Europe by restoring self-sustaining complex ecosystems with minimal human interference. However, the unique characteristics of rewilding may pose challenges when accessing existing funding streams, necessitating modifications to better suit rewilding's special needs.

Summary: New approaches to environmental conservation and management are being developed in Europe in response to the current ecological crisis. Initiatives are focusing on encouraging the return of wilderness and going beyond mere preservation of nature to contribute to a global territorial transition by creating social and interspecies links and developing virtuous economic forms within territories.

Summary: Rewilding, reintroducing wild animals and plants, is gaining importance in Europe, but its effective implementation is currently limited. A first assessment of seven European sites found that the most common intervention for rewilding is the reintroduction of keystone species, while interventions targeting stochastic disturbances are less common. Despite improvements in rewilding scores at five sites, scores declined at two, partly due to competing socio-economic trends.

Summary: The study found that reintroducing African savanna elephants had different impacts on the presence and habitat selection of the cape dwarf gecko and the generalist skinks. These effects may take prolonged periods to develop.

Summary: This paper reviews the current state of knowledge on thermal comfort during non-steady state conditions, focusing on the psycho-physiological phenomena of thermal alliesthesia and thermal habituation. Major knowledge gaps in the domain of dynamic thermal perception are identified, and future research needs to fill these gaps are proposed.

Summary: Studies show that migrants face multiple barriers to accessing healthcare, necessitating the need for adapted structures. In response to the unique healthcare needs of recently resettled Syrian families, a family consultation service was established in Lausanne, Switzerland. Collaboration between different medical disciplines improved care coordination and quality.

Summary: Research indicates that the reintroduction of digging mammals may have direct and indirect effects on predatory invertebrates, leading to reductions in bare ground in the ecosystem and changes in predator abundance and composition.

Summary: This paper reviews the growing body of work on network dynamics in organizational research, focusing on a corpus of 187 articles published between 2007 and 2020. It presents a taxonomy that organizes the territory of network dynamics into three categories, examines the drivers and effects of network dynamics, and clarifies the assumptions, strengths, and weaknesses of different analytical approaches. In the second phase, it critically reflects on the findings and outlines a rough agenda for future research.

Summary: Novel methods were developed for building earthquake networks and investigating patterns in seismic data. The resulting networks showed scale-free and hierarchical structures with features correlated with the magnitude of events. The methods better capture a region's seismic characteristics and can help develop a more precise seismicity analyzing framework.

Summary: This paper presents a novel approach to future research in the social sciences and humanities (SSH) on renewable energy sources by developing a set of 100 priority questions through interviews, workshops, and a horizon scanning process. The research identifies four main directions for future SSH research, including economic transformation, cultural diversity, energy governance, and value-based objectives. The findings contribute to enriching dialogues between policymakers, funding institutions, and researchers, emphasizing the intrinsic importance of SSH scholarship in renewable energy research.

Summary: The international mechanism for ecosystem restoration lacks flexibility and an innovative culture, calling for institutional redesign. Proposed actions include adopting an empowering narrative of nature recovery, creating innovation zones, developing functional classifications of nature, establishing markets for ecosystem recovery, and introducing professional training in ecosystem recovery.
