The Blind Spots of Aid Evaluation: Why Do Some Departments Capture Unintended Effects Better Than Others?

open access: yesJournal of International Development, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 961-975, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines why some evaluation agencies and departments of bilateral aid donors report more unintended effects than others. It does so by analysing Belgian, Dutch and German evaluation practices. Using a comparative political economy approach, it evaluates the rigour and independence vis‐à‐vis implementers of their systems.

The role and significance of beekeepers' education for the improvement of beekeeping

open access: yes, 2023
The lack of professionally trained beekeepers is one of the biggest problems of beekeeping in Serbia. The great interest in beekeeping is not accompanied by the necessary theoretical and practical education that would enable those interested in this type of production to approach beekeeping in an adequate and quality way. This results in unprofessional

A review of blue carbon credit projects' socio‐economic activities

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2748-2762, August 2026.
Abstract Coastal ‘blue carbon’ ecosystems (mangroves, seagrasses and saltmarshes) are critical for climate regulation and biodiversity, yet significant funding gaps persist in marine conservation. While blue carbon credits are increasingly used to bridge these gaps, concerns remain regarding their efficacy in delivering socio‐economic benefits.

Hidden Microbiota Inhabiting in Pollen Reserves of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) From Amazonas Region Revealed by DNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
DNA metabarcoding of honey bee pollen reserves from Amazonas region reveals that microbial communities are strongly shaped by their ecosystem. Despite high taxonomic turnover across different habitats, these microbiomes maintain stable, essential functions for pollinator health, though they remain highly vulnerable to habitat homogenization.
