The contribution of non-PAs to climate-driven species migration is important for long-term biodiversity conservation and climate change adaptationan. This article reveals that non-PAs provide transient refugia for species within PAs during climate-driven migrations in China and acts as steppingstones to facilitate species range shifts.

This review highlights the widespread prevalence of exposure to certain phthalates used in industrial practices, sheds light on exposure trends over time, and identifies significant gaps in biomonitoring data across various regions, particularly in areas with limited research infrastructure.

The article demonstrates that while healthier diets often align with reduced environmental impacts in several domains, significant trade-offs exist, particularly regarding water use and cost. Diet quality indexes that emphasize plant-based foods offer the most consistent sustainability benefits. However, no diet pattern is without drawbacks, underscoring the importance of nuanced, multidimensional assessments and the integration of nutrition and sustainability data to inform effective policy and clear public guidance.

In low- and middle-income countries, there is growing evidence that trees in landscapes can support healthy diets. Yet, the bulk of this evidence is based on broad-scale associations and thus fails to tease apart the contributions of different types of trees. Here, we examine how the use of on-farm trees for food, income, and fuel relates to micronutrient adequacy (vitamin A, zinc, iron, and folate) and food sourcing patterns in rural Malawi. We used data from socioeconomic, land use, and dietary surveys conducted with 460 women in both the dry and wet seasons.
