Geographical Distribution and Socio‐Economic Importance of Raphia ruwenzorica From South‐West of Burundi

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The genus Raphia is among the commonly used and socio‐economically important plants in Africa. While Raphia ruwenzorica species is known to occur in Burundi, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda, its geographical distribution and socioeconomic importance are poorly documented in Burundi. This study maps R.

Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change: Are Climate‐Smart Practices Important in Burkina Faso?

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT In Burkina Faso, smallholder farmers rely heavily on rain‐fed agriculture, which is affected by climate change. The adoption of climate‐smart practices is essential to strengthen the resilience of agricultural systems to climate change and improve household food security and, consequently, global food security.

Weak Physics‐Guided Multi‐Agent Learning for Surface to Subsurface Moisture Estimation Across Diverse Climate and Soil Conditions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Estimating subsurface soil moisture remains challenging due to limited in situ observations and the complexity of soil water dynamics. Although surface soil moisture can be retrieved from satellites with high accuracy, deeper layers are not directly observable. Traditional physics‐based models that predict subsurface soil moisture require site‐

Land use gradients drive spatial variation in Lassa fever host communities in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 2, Page 296-312, February 2026.
As West Africa urbanises, the risk of Lassa fever may paradoxically decrease. We found the invasive house mouse, a dominant urban species, outcompetes and displaces the primary Lassa virus host. Considering these species interactions is critical for accurately predicting future zoonotic disease patterns.

Lifespan and Fecundity Impacts of Reduced Insulin Signalling Can Be Directed by Mito‐Nuclear Epistasis in Drosophila

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.
Insulin signalling extends lifespan across species but, in Drosophila, this effect can vary among populations. This variable response is underpinned by epistasis between mtDNA and nDNA. ABSTRACT The changing demography of human populations has motivated a search for interventions that promote healthy ageing, and especially for evolutionarily‐conserved ...

Underrepresentation of bats in Africa's protected areas

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Biodiversity is severely threatened globally, with habitat loss and other human pressures accelerating species extinctions. Protected areas (PAs) are a critical conservation tool; however, their effectiveness in safeguarding many taxa, such as bats, remains unclear.
