Unlocking Tropical Forest Complexity: How Tree Assemblages in Secondary Forests Boost Biodiversity Conservation. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Secondary forests are crucial for achieving COP15/16 conservation goals. An operational national approach was developed to identify and characterise forest ecosystems based on the dominant tree species in the canopy, serving as indicators for ecosystem extent and condition.

Use of community characteristics to predict hunting and game harvests in western Amazonian forests. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Wild game harvesting in Amazonia provides rural residents with protein and cash income but can threaten wildlife populations and forest ecosystem functions. As yet, the socioeconomic and environmental drivers that shape hunter livelihoods remain poorly understood.

Exploring local perceptions and drivers of engagement in biodiversity monitoring among participants in payments for ecosystem services schemes in southeastern Mexico. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Payments for ecosystem services (PES) are widely applied incentive‐based instruments with diverse objectives that increasingly include biodiversity conservation. Yet, there is a gap in understanding of how to best assess and monitor programs’ biodiversity outcomes.

From pollen provision to pollinator: Species‐specific sterol assimilation by wild bees in urban landscapes

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1906-1920, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

Forest cover drives bird occupancy across guilds and habitats in a Colombian coffee‐farming landscape

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Increasing landscape forest cover would improve occupancy for nearly all bird guilds using coffee and forest habitats in the Eastern Colombian Andes. Conserving forest and enhancing shade coffee are complementary–not interchangeable–strategies: landscape forest cover shapes the conditions under which farm‐scale habitat management can sustain diverse ...

Agribusiness Supply Chains: From Green to Regenerative

Journal of Supply Chain Management, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 105-124, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Supply chain management has traditionally prioritized maximizing profits, creating persistent tensions with social‐ecological systems (SES) despite sustainability efforts. Regeneration offers an alternative, ecocentric approach, yet it remains unclear how supply chains can operate within SES boundaries.

The ecology of attraction: Fruit traits and frugivore diversity in neotropical Piper

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 611-623, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruit traits can benefit plant reproduction by enhancing seed dispersal by mutualistic frugivores (e.g. seed dispersal syndromes), but identifying the role of specific fruit traits in mediating frugivory is challenging because these traits can serve multiple functions ...

Nocturnal Gardeners: Dispersal of Large Seeds by Tent‐Roosting Bats in the Lacandon Rainforest, Mexico

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Tent‐roosting bats in the Lacandon Forest, Mexico, play a previously undocumented role in dispersing large seeds (> 5 mm) from mature forest species with important ecological and human uses. Sampling 21 feeding tents across two protected areas yielded 2137 seeds from 54 species, with seed deposition rates significantly higher under bat tents than in ...

Using Environmental DNA Sampling for Simultaneous Detection of Hosts and Their Pathogens: A Case Study With the Critically Endangered Frog Genus Atelopus

Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 663-674, October 2025.
Environmental DNA is a powerful tool for simultaneous detection of rare species and their pathogens. We confirmed the presence of Atelopus at multiple sampling locations and found that the concentration of the amphibian pathogen Bd in eDNA samples was correlated with stream characteristics and the pathogen load of the amphibian community.
