Spatially Downscaling of Future Food Demand for Policy Planning

open access: yesWorld Food Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the subnational dynamics of food demand, while accounting for the evolution of the agrifood system at the global level, remains a challenge for designing food policy to ensure food security. To link global agrifood systems with subnational food policy planning, we downscale per capita food demand for 62 food commodities at the ...

Issues of Bounded Geographies and Participatory Governance in Accessing Water in Informal Settlements: A Case of Khulna City, Bangladesh

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the unequal water supply infrastructure in Khulna city's informal settlements, focusing on the largest slum, Rupsha. It investigates both formal and informal water governance, examining the roles of various actors, their decision‐making processes, and the challenges these settlements face in accessing water.

Leaf longevity and structure, fruit mass and phenology in 52 cultivated varieties and wild accessions of olive

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1193-1206, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although phenology has long been recognized as a critical feature for the adaptation of organisms to their local environment, until recently, phenological events have seldom been considered in the broader context of trait‐based ecology.

No one‐size‐fits‐all: Trait‐dependent effects of local plant diversity on pollinators and pollination service in a densifying city

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Increasing local floral richness can support pollination success of specialised plants in dense urban landscapes. However, a floral enrichment strategy alone is less effective for generalist plants, which are typically more abundant in plant communities.

Dynamics of neutral genes and genes under selection and their implications for threatened species translocations

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our results provide advice for the management of wild populations and the planning of translocations. Prior to this study, the understanding was deduced from genetic theory, which did not consider stochastic events included in our simulations. Our modelling showed an overall increase in genetic diversity resulting from translocations, suggesting that ...

European mistletoe shares a similar demographic strategy with non‐parasitic plants

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
European mistletoe (Viscum album) does not have a distinct demographic strategy from non‐parasitic plants, as quantified by time‐based life history traits. We found that mistletoe vital rates were driven by mistletoe size and position in the host tree.

Passive environmental DNA sampling: A review of current practices, limitations and future directions for biodiversity monitoring

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1535-1555, May 2026.
Abstract Passive environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling is rapidly emerging as a powerful alternative to active sampling methods (e.g. direct water sampling), with a rapidly growing diversity of tested approaches but little methodological convergence.
