Taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity patterns of Saturniidae moth communities along a tropical forest recovery gradient in Ecuador

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 746-756, July 2026.
Diverse Saturniidae moth communities are found in naturally recovering tropical forests in Ecuador. Community composition showed a gradual turnover with strongest differences between old‐growth forest and active agriculture, but only weak differences in taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity. While our results suggest that Saturniidae are not

Understanding landowners' preferences to participate in tropical mountain forest restoration

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Introduction The restoration of degraded tropical forests is a promising strategy to mitigate the climate and biodiversity crises. Across the globe large areas have the potential to be restored through multiplying small‐scale initiatives implemented by landowners working at local scales.

Evidence of introgression amid phylogenetic conflict in Brachyotum, a plant radiation from the Tropical Andes

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Premise The species‐rich flora of Tropical Andes underwent multiple rapid and recent diversifications, yet resolving their evolutionary histories remains challenging despite increasing phylogenomic data. Here, we examined phylogenomic conflict in Brachyotum (Melastomataceae) to identify sources preventing its resolution.

Landscape forest cover, not edge contrast, modulates edge effects on palm diversity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that landscape forest cover plays a critical role in modulating edge effects in plant communities in our study system, but not all woody crops systems provide buffering benefits, as cacao plantations in our study failed to soften edge effects.

Pass‐Through of Cocoa Prices Along the Supply Chain: What's Left for Farmers in Côte d'Ivoire?

Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 77, Issue 2, Page 411-428, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Most cocoa farmers in Côte d'Ivoire are trapped in a cycle of poverty and farming practices that degrade the environment. This paper aims to provide an in‐depth understanding of the price formation process for cocoa at each stage of the supply chain in the world's largest cocoa‐producing country.

Is Technological Heterogeneity the Key to Sustainable Coffee Production Efficiency?: A Latent Class Frontier Analysis in the Traditional Coffee Region of Colombia

Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 77, Issue 2, Page 429-440, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Coffee producers deal with uncertainty due to high volatility in coffee prices. To navigate these challenges, producers must balance the tradeoff between higher yield and better quality utilising heterogeneous technologies, such as intensive production methods and environmental management practices.

Agroforestry and enhanced rock weathering: A dual strategy for sustainable cacao

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 843-860, May 2026.
Cacao production is both economically vital and environmentally intensive, presenting a major sustainability challenge as a crop largely cultivated by smallholder farmers in climate‐vulnerable regions. This review synthesises evidence that integrating agroforestry with enhanced rock weathering (EW) may significantly reduce emissions from cacao ...
