Arctic Indigenous food systems are typified by diverse social interactions that maintain food security. Given the numerous challenges Arctic Indigenous communities face, it is important to understand diversity in these systems and how they are impacted by change. This study adopts a mixed methods approach that combines participatory methods with ne...

Energetic resources in ecological and social-ecological systems are distributed through complex networks, which co-evolve with the system and consumers to move resources from points of origin to those of end use. Past research has focussed on effects of spatiotemporal resource heterogeneity in ecosystems and society, or socioeconomic drivers of ine...

Quantifying soil structural and ecological heterogeneity is crucial for understanding their interactions and their relationships to the resilience and health of the wider ecosystem. However, a clear understanding of how structural heterogeneity affects soil biodiversity is still emerging. Previous work has primarily used expensive, often laboratory...

Resource distribution networks are the infrastructure facilitating the flow of resources in both biotic and abiotic systems. Both theoretical and empirical arguments have proposed that physical systems self-organise to maximise power production, but how this trajectory is related to network development, especially regarding the heterogeneity of res...

In this paper, we present results of a laboratory study in which participants completed an asynchronous collaborative search task while thinking aloud. Based on analysis of the think-aloud data and screen recordings, we present a set of collaborative search actions and rationales that our participants employed. For each, we describe the purpose and...
