Trade Networks and Consumer Practices in Amedeka, Ghana: Negotiating “Nkudzedze” From the Late 19th to Mid‐20th Centuries

American Anthropologist, Volume 127, Issue 4, Page 757-776, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper examines local taste practices in the era of “legitimate trade” when the trade in botanical (e.g., palm oil, palm kernel oil, and cocoa) and nonbotanical (e.g., ivory, textiles) commodities replaced the trade in enslaved Africans. Following the 1807 British abolition of the Atlantic trade in enslaved people, the locus of the trade ...

Resilience of Indigenous healthcare systems: Ethnobotanical approaches among the Baka, southeastern Cameroon

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 2879-2894, November 2025.
Abstract Indigenous Peoples rely on biodiversity and traditional knowledge for health and well‐being, yet biological and cultural systems are threatened by ecological and social changes. Limited understanding exists on the factors that support the resilience of Indigenous Peoples' healthcare systems—the capacity of a healthcare system to adapt to ...

Allelopathic effect of the Cladonia verticillaris lichen extracts and fumarprotocetraric acid on the early growth of germinated seedlings in Allium cepa L. [PDF]

, 1999
The allelopathic activity of the different type of Cladonia verticillaris lichen extracts and fumarprotocetraric acid on the early growth of A. cepa (IPA 6) germinated seedlings depends on their chemical composition and concentration, respectively.

Recent vegetation shifts in the French Alps with winners outnumbering losers

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 11, Page 3275-3292, November 2025.
Analysing 11 million records of 4250 French Alps plant species over 30 years shows that one‐third expanded their range, dominated by thermophilic and fast‐colonizing species, while 13% declined. Most species showed little response, with potential shifts lagging behind climate change. Our study deepens our understanding of the complex dynamics of recent

CAMELIA: Enhancing species assemblage predictions by integrating structural and functional indices: A case study on plant communities in the French Alps

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, Page 2694-2709, November 2025.
Abstract Addressing the challenge of predicting biodiversity requires models that fully capture the complex dynamics of species and communities. While species distribution models (SDMs) predict individual species' distributions based on environmental variables, they often fail to reconstruct realistic communities.
