Varied motivations for secondary forest reclearing among landholders make forest persistence challenging

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1943-1956, June 2026.
Abstract Remote sensing studies show that ephemeral forest regeneration is widespread in the tropics, limiting the climate and biodiversity benefits from net increases in forest cover. Socioeconomic, biophysical and landscape variables can help explain the spatial distribution of reforestation reversals.

Hurdles to overcome to achieve biostimulant‐driven, low chemical input crop production

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 783-791, May 2026.
Crop production requires considerable chemical inputs that result in significant greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental costs. Biostimulants are natural agents, such as microorganisms or seaweed, applied to plants and soil to stimulate plant growth and reduce chemical inputs. Biostimulant use is rapidly increasing globally, but hurdles remain,

Evolutionary and environmental determinants of heat tolerance and acclimation capacity in herpetofauna

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Exploring heat tolerance and acclimation capacity can provide an effective approach to evaluating species’ sensitivity to extremely high temperatures due to climate warming. Despite some work on amphibian and reptile thermophysiological adaptation, related questions remain. We reviewed the literature to provide a synthesis of worldwide data on

Quality Infrastructure for Resilient Pharmaceutical Manufacturing in Ethiopia: A Comparative Archival Review

open access: yesJournal of Critical Infrastructure Policy, Volume 7, Issue 1, Spring/Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT The National Quality Infrastructure (NQI) in a given country provides the essential framework for quality assurance integrating standardization, metrology, accreditation, and conformity assessment to create the technical backbone for industry and trade. Hence, building a resilient NQI is fundamental to securing medicine quality, enabling local

Assessing the evidence for treating developmental plasticity and phenotypic flexibility as different phenomena

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 2949-2961, November 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phenotypic plasticity has long played a central role in eco‐evolutionary theory, but it was not until 20 years ago that it was proposed that the term encompasses two distinct phenomena—developmental plasticity and phenotypic flexibility. While this terminology has since

Modeling nature‐based restoration potential across aquatic–terrestrial boundaries

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Today, few watersheds remain untouched by global change processes arising from climate warming, impoundments, channelization, water extraction, pollution, and urbanization. The need for restoration has resulted in a myriad of interventions, generally performed at small scales, which have limited measurable impact in restoring biodiversity and

Escribir en comunidad: Construcción de relaciones y responsabilidad en la producción de conocimiento

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, Volume 127, Issue 3, Page 447-465, September 2025.
ABSTRACT As anthropology reckons with its past, present, and future, anthropologists increasingly seek to challenge inequities within the discipline and academia more broadly. Anthropology, regardless of subdiscipline, is a social endeavor. Yet research often remains an isolating (though not necessarily solitary) process, even within research teams and
