Comment on Ju et al. (2025): Global Declines in Mangrove Area and Carbon Stock From 1985 to 2020

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract This is a comment on Ju, Fu, Lyne, et al. (2025, https://doi.org/10.1029/2025gl115303), for which we believe there are significant errors in the analysis that has been undertaken. While the aim and objectives of the study are appropriate, the claimed results do not align with other published studies on mangroves and are considered unlikely to ...

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 ...

High Genetic Diversity in Geographically Remote Populations of Endemic and Widespread Coral Reef Angelfishes (genus: Centropyge)

open access: yesDiversity, 2013
In the terrestrial environment, endemic species and isolated populations of widespread species have the highest rates of extinction partly due to their low genetic diversity.
