Land‐Use Effects on Melliferous Woody Flora in Sudanian Agroforestry Parkland and Protected Area of West Africa

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study assessed how land use types influence the diversity, structure, and temporal dynamics of melliferous woody species and honeybee (Apis mellifera) foraging in a sudanian landscape of southwestern Burkina Faso. Fallow land and protected area supported higher species richness and distinct community composition compared with farmland, while ...

Orchids in the Open: Understanding Biodiversity Beyond Madagascar's Forests

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Orchids make up 8% of Madagascar's vascular plant species richness and are typically associated with the island's forests. Yet most of the island is covered by open ecosystems, long dismissed as degraded. This perception has contributed to their neglect, limiting our understanding of species ecology and hindering conservation action in ...

Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2630-2651, March 2026.
Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from

Plant conservation in a changing Mediterranean world

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 49-72, January 2026.
The Mediterranean is one of five climatic regions on the planet characterised by a prolonged summer drought, exceptional plant diversity and high rates of endemism. We provide a framework to link the ecology of plant species conservation in the context of rapid and extreme climate deregulation to a philosophical typology of temporal attitudes (i.e ...

A pan‐European citizen science study shows population size, climate and land use are related to biased morph ratios in the heterostylous plant Primula veris

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
A large‐scale citizen science study involving thousands of cowslip (Primula veris) observations from all over Europe revealed an unexpected prevalence of S‐morphs over L‐morphs, which was influenced by climatic as well as land use factors. Furthermore, general morph ratios were often unbalanced with the strongest shifts occurring in smaller populations.

Review of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on Ten years of phytopharmacovigilance in France: Review of the only organisation of its kind in Europe for post‐MA vigilance of plant protection products

open access: yesFood Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Phytopharmacovigilance consists in identifying signals of adverse effects on human, animal and plant populations and the environment associated with the use of plant protection products, and reporting them to the various bodies responsible for assessing and managing risks.

Genetic Confirmations of Dwarf Lemurs Across Madagascar Highlights Complex Biogeographic Patterns 马达加斯加全境鼠狐猴的遗传确认揭示了复杂的生物地理模式

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 665-674, December 2025.
Using a diagnostic mitochondrial marker gene, we document the presence of furry‐eared dwarf lemurs, a species known from Madagascar's eastern montane rainforests, in several forest fragments across the island's central highlands. These findings raise new questions about when this species colonized these sites, how they tolerate these changing and ...

The Swiss Pursuit of Environmental Sustainability in Farming La quête d’une agriculture durable en Suisse Das Schweizer Bestreben nach ökologischer Nachhaltigkeit in der Landwirtschaft

open access: yesEuroChoices, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 35-40, December 2025.
Summary Switzerland introduced results‐based payment schemes for farmers at an early stage, specifically in the area of biodiversity. When an ecological focus area (e.g. extensive meadow) reaches a certain level of plant species diversity, it receives more monetary reimbursements.
