Asynchronous Synchronization: A Spatially Explicit Agent‐Based Model Simulating Ficus Trees and Their Obligate Wasp Pollinator

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Normal or baseline scenario with parameterization from the literature. The green line indicates the CPS based on the decision tree. The blue hatched area indicates the transition period of the model where there are increasing number of wasps present at the end of the simulations and an indication that the model is becoming more stable.

State‐Level Politics in Forest Governance: The Role of the Narrative‐Policy Nexus in the Brazilian Amazon

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 476-490, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Deforestation and its social impacts are an enduring challenge in agrarian frontiers, especially in the tropics. Fueled by global demand for commodities, this process is mediated by ideas, concepts, meanings, and policies that uphold socioenvironmental degradation. A key and understudied—arena in which this mediation occurs is the sub‐national
