Open letter: The need for a site‐based biodiversity standard measuring and certifying impacts from nature‐based projects

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1394-1402, September 2026.
Despite growing investment in restoration, weak accountability and poor biodiversity monitoring mean many projects fail to achieve ecological recovery. The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS) offers a practical way to ensure that restoration finance delivers measurable gains for nature.

Host‐associated chemical cues mediating host‐finding behaviour in the larval ectoparasitoid Cephalonomia tarsalis

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8459-8467, September 2026.
Host‐associated volatiles mediate host location in Cephalonomia tarsalis, with faecal odours from fourth‐instar larvae, particularly 1‐pentadecene, attracting females and supporting the biological control of stored‐product pest beetles. Abstract BACKGROUND Understanding how parasitoids locate their hosts is essential for improving the effectiveness of ...

Effects of Temperature Peaks and Water Stress on Tropical Seed Germination: Experimental Trials With Species From Brazil's Northeastern Coastal Zone

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the effects of high temperatures and water deficit on germination provides valuable insights into seed stress tolerance, guiding the use of native seeds in ecological restoration. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of (1) temperature peaks and (2) water stress treatments and post‐stress recovery on the germination of some ...

Insights Into Soil Health in Sugarcane From a Bibliometric Analysis: Brazil's Scientific Contribution to the World

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 9, September 2026.
This bibliometric review (2000–2025) reveals a sharp increase in publications and citations on sugarcane soil health after 2010, driven by mechanized harvesting and climate–bioenergy policies. Research is spatially concentrated in São Paulo State and dominated by chemical and physical indicators, with biological attributes remaining underrepresented ...

Thermal Thresholds and Genetic Sensitivity in Barrel Racing Performance of Quarter Horses Across Temperature–Humidity Indices

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 5, Page 719-733, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Heat stress is an increasingly important challenge for the performance and welfare of equine athletes, particularly in competitions conducted across diverse climatic conditions. Understanding the genetic basis of performance responses to increasing thermal load is therefore essential to support robust genetic evaluation and sustainable ...

How Accurately Do Species Distribution Models Predict the Expansion of Invasive Insects, and Does Climate Data Choice Matter? Insights From the Invasion of Dryocosmus kuriphilus

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1035-1046, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict the spread of invasive species, yet their accuracy over time and the influence of climate data resolution remain unclear. Here, we examine the capacity of SDMs to predict the distribution and short‐term expansion of the invasive gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus, and compare the ...

Volatile Organic Compounds Emitted by Fungi Have Substantial Effects on Growth and Disease Resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 7168-7190, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by certain fungi have previously been suggested to modulate plant development and their response to stresses. While some fungal species, such as Trichoderma harzianum, are known to produce VOCs, the production of VOCs in other phylogenetically divergent species, such as Mucor mucedo, was previously ...

Soil and Forest Degradation Driven by Cattle Grazing and Selective Logging in Sub‐Antarctic Nothofagus Ecosystems of Patagonia

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10532-10545, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil and forest degradation driven by chronic land‐use pressures is an increasingly widespread process in forested landscapes worldwide, yet its empirical characterization remains limited, particularly in temperate and sub‐Antarctic ecosystems.

A Field Guide for Soil Erosion Risk Assessment in Olive Orchards Across Mediterranean Conditions for End‐Users and Stakeholders

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9202-9221, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion control poses a crucial challenge to the sustainability of Mediterranean olive groves. To facilitate field‐level decision‐making, we have developed a field guide oriented to use in any type of olive orchard across the Mediterranean.

Genetic Indicators of Performance Resilience in Barrel Racing Quarter Horses

open access: yesAnimal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Resilience, defined as the capacity to maintain consistent performance under variable conditions, has emerged as a relevant breeding objective in livestock systems, yet remains largely unexplored in equine populations. The objectives of this study were to (1) derive indicators of resilience from longitudinal barrel racing time (BRT) records in
