Impacts of land use change on diaspore‐dispersing ant assemblages in southwestern Amazonia

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Land use changes shift ant assemblages, more intensive land uses are dominated by generalist and open habitat specialist species engaging in group foraging. The diaspore removal rates cannot differ, but the quality of dispersal was lower in disturbed habitats.

Sheep and cattle grazing regimes differentially affect ground beetle and ant communities in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Sheep and cattle grazing significantly shape ant and ground beetle species composition in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands, promoting higher diversity by increasing habitat heterogeneity. Ground beetles and ants reflect changes in grazing regimes, with sheep‐grazed areas showing the highest diversity, highlighting their utility in ecosystem monitoring.

How Accurately Do Species Distribution Models Predict the Expansion of Invasive Insects, and Does Climate Data Choice Matter? Insights From the Invasion of Dryocosmus kuriphilus

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict the spread of invasive species, yet their accuracy over time and the influence of climate data resolution remain unclear. Here, we examine the capacity of SDMs to predict the distribution and short‐term expansion of the invasive gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus, and compare the ...

Reconfiguring biofortification strategies to transform food systems and address micronutrient deficiency of the 21st century

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explores how to make staple foods and horticultural crops more nutritious, including how artificial intelligence‐based screening of gene banks helps deploy nutritionally rich germplasm into breeding. Genome editing can help develop crops richer in minerals, vitamins, and health‐promoting compounds, supporting healthier diets and more ...

Peasant Movements and the Fourth Transformation in Mexico: What Does the Theory of Collective Empowerment Tell Us?

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines peasant and Indigenous movements in Mexico since Morena's rise to power in 2018 through the lens of collective empowerment theory, a theory of political‐cultural formation. Beyond offering an empirical assessment, the theory is refined and formalized through an analysis of these movements and their relationship to ...

Strategies for Legitimizing Regeneration in Supply Chain Fields

Journal of Supply Chain Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In view of escalating environmental degradation, regenerative business has been proposed to restore social–ecological systems. However, as regeneration fundamentally departs from mainstream approaches and lacks commonly accepted standards, it suffers from a liability of newness that hampers its broader legitimation and adoption.

Afforestation priority for multiple objectives at national scale: Italy as a case study

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation is increasingly recognized as a key strategy to address climate change and ecological degradation, offering multiple ecosystem services. However, strategic planning is needed to ensure that afforestation actions are ecologically effective and economically efficient by targeting areas where ecosystem service provision

Diverse discourses in ecological, ecosystem, and forest landscape restoration literature

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration has emerged as a key strategy to address biodiversity loss. However, restoration is marked by a diversity of discourses, often running in parallel under three major restoration framings: ecological restoration, ecosystem restoration, and forest landscape restoration.
