Rock phosphate increased nodulation, growth and yield of Vigna unguiculata in sub-Saharan agrosystem of Burkina Faso. P334 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Cowpea plays a considerable role in the nutritional balance and rural economic of Burkina Faso. However, its farming is marked by yields instability related to drought and soil depletion of nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus.

Colours of urban selection: carotenoid‐based signals reveal divergent urban/rural evolutionary trajectories in two closely related passerines

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Urbanisation is a major driver of environmental change, reshaping ecological and evolutionary processes. Urban‐driven phenotypic differences are increasingly documented, but the underlying role of selection is still understudied. One pattern is the consistent reduction of carotenoid‐based plumage pigmentation in city birds.

Bioinformatic analysis of glutathione peroxidase family from theobroma cacao and gene expression during Moniliophthora perniciosa infection.[Poster-B185] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) are enzymes which are part of the antioxidant system of the cell. Mammalian GPXs are known as selenoproteins because containing the selenocysteine (Sec) amino acid. In plants, these proteins are less known.

Does nocturnal light pollution impair immune function in a wild‐living amphibian?

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 311-322, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Light pollution is among the most rapidly growing anthropogenic stressors on Earth. As it spreads far beyond its original source, it affects natural protected areas playing a key role in protecting biodiversity.

An evolutionary perspective on the response‐effect framework

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 298-310, February 2026.
Abstract The response‐effect framework (REF) has provided a foundational approach in functional ecology, using traits to predict how species respond to environmental factors (‘response traits’) and influence ecosystem functioning (‘effect traits’).

Contribution of microcosm experiments to conservation science

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Microcosms, or miniature experimental systems, have been used to develop models and theories in ecology. However, their contribution to conservation science is unclear. We explored the application, design, and impact of microcosms in conservation science from 469 systematically identified articles published from 1986 to 2023.

Estimating Oceanic Export Production based on 3D coupled physical-biogeochemical modelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The study addresses various aspects of model-based estimating the oceanic primary production. In particular, we consider existent interpretations of the export fluxes; influence of implied conversions between modelled chlorophyll and biomass, expressed ...

Understandings and critiques of biocultural diversity conservation and future recommendations for conservation actors

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract As biocultural approaches to conservation gain traction (e.g., through international commitments to Indigenous Peoples and local communities) and external conservation actors increasingly seek to engage with on‐the‐ground holders of biocultural diversity, improved understanding is needed of what biocultural diversity means.

Triiodothyronine suppresses humoral immunity but not T-cell-mediated immune response in incubating female eiders (Somateria mollissima)

open access: yes, 2007
Immunity is believed to share limited resources with other physiological functions and this may partly account for the fitness costs of reproduction. Previous studies have shown that the acquired immunity of female common eiders (Somateria mollissima) is
