Modeling seed germination data to meet biodiversity conservation needs in the Mediterranean

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Workflow to assess the availability and quality of germination data and assign species' thermal risk in the Mediterranean. (a) Assessment of data availability, including the phylogenetic distribution of the number of records (i.e. available germination data); (b) data quality assessment; and (c) assignment of climate risk categories for species that ...

Improving efficiency in conservation planning by modeling species‐specific responses to threat abatement

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Reversing ongoing biodiversity loss requires effectively managing anthropogenic threats. Although conservation actions can mitigate these threats, prioritizing and targeting such actions remain challenging because species respond differently depending on the nature of the threats and their biological traits.

Optimizing biodiversity offsetting for habitat succession and colonization dynamics

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity offsetting aims to compensate for ecological losses from development through conservation and restoration. However, its long‐term outcomes under repeated impact–offset cycles remain uncertain. Using a conceptual forest succession model, we evaluated how offset outcomes are affected by interactions among compensation scale ...

AI foundation models in plant biology

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Foundation models decode genomes, engineer proteins, phenotype crops, and drive AI agents across plant biology. This figure was created in BioRender (BioRender.com/xcmmkel). Summary Rapid technological progress has enabled plant biologists to accumulate unprecedented volumes of multi‐scale, multi‐modal data, yet this abundance of data has intensified ...

There Is Always a Bigger Fish. Determinants of Power Perceptions in Swiss Biodiversity Policy

open access: yesPolicy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) views power as crucial in policy processes, but the nature of coalition power, its determinants, and how to empirically measure it remain understudied. In this article, we use a mixed method approach and social network analysis to explore power relationships in the biodiversity policy subsystem in ...

Does the Adoption of Improved Cassava Varieties Boost Productivity in Ghana? The Role of Technology, Management, and Structural Gaps

open access: yesWorld Food Policy, Volume 12, Issue 2, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural development initiatives in sub‐Saharan Africa have emphasized improved crop varieties as a pathway to food security, resilience, and rural poverty reduction. However, empirical evidence often focuses narrowly on plot‐level outcomes and overlooks whole‐farm effects and the substantial heterogeneity in farmers' management practices,

From Indicator to Prediction: Five Decades of Biochemical Oxygen Demand Research in Tropical Freshwaters

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) remains a core indicator of organic pollution in freshwater monitoring, but its role in water policy and practice is changing as water‐quality assessment moves toward predictive, integrative, and decision‐support approaches.

In Situ Engineering an S‐Scheme MnS/MnB‐MBene Heterojunction With Spatially Separated Redox Sites for Efficient H2 Evolution and 5‐HMF Oxidation

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Photocatalytic H2 evolution coupled with biomass upgrading offers a sustainable route for clean energy conversion and high‐value chemical synthesis. Herein, an in situ grown S‐scheme MnS/MnB‐MBene heterojunction (denoted as SMx) was fabricated via alkaline etching of Mn2AlB2 followed by controlled sulfurization.
