Demographic Responses to Experimental Manipulation of an Enclosed Population of Invasive Brown Treesnakes (Boiga irregularis)

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 3, July 2026.
We evaluated demographic responses of an enclosed population of brown treesnakes to two experimental perturbations: supplemental feeding followed by removal of the adult and sub‐adult cohort 2 years later. Our results indicate that adding food to the system increased the population growth rate by 50% within 6 months and that removing the adults and ...

Regeneration Strategies in Seed Plants: A Continuum Shaping Survival

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Seed plants dominate terrestrial ecosystems in part because regeneration is not a single event, but a coordinated sequence of traits acting across time and space. Here, we synthesize regeneration strategies in seed plants as a continuous, integrated framework spanning pre‐germination regulation, germination timing, seedling emergence, soil seed banking,

Full Dollarisation and Economic Performance Revisited

open access: yesInternational Journal of Finance &Economics, Volume 31, Issue 3, Page 3869-3886, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the economic performance of fully dollarised economies compared to those with alternative monetary regimes. Using an extensive dataset covering 192 countries from 1980 to 2021, we employ a variety of econometric techniques, including joint maximum likelihood and propensity score matching, to address endogeneity and ...

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

open access: yesHorticulturae, 2018
The coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB, Oryctes rhinoceros L.) is a serious pest of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) in many tropical regions, however the influences of CRB herbivory on the coconut leaf chemistry are unknown.

Environmental and Protection Effects of Shark‐Companion Associations Across Three Ocean Basins

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Companion species frequently associate with large marine hosts, yet the ecological drivers of these relationships remain poorly understood. Using a global dataset of midwater BRUVS deployments, we modelled the presence and abundance of shark‐companion associations across seven shark species and three ocean basins.
