Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1735-1759, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

New canopy legume species highlight liana gap sampling across Amazonian and Atlantic rain forests

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Lianas are a key component of the Neotropical flora, accounting for 10% of angiosperm richness and playing important ecological roles. However, the canopy preference of some species often leads to their underrepresentation in herbarium collections, thereby exacerbating Linnaean, Darwinian, and Wallacean shortfalls. The papilionoid legume genus

The Mobile Core: Perpetuating Tourism Leakage Through the Socioecological Fix in South Korea

open access: yesAsia Pacific Viewpoint, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 229-239, August 2026.
ABSTRACT By adopting the socioecological fix concept, this study aims to examine the spatial dynamics of tourism leakage. An ethnographic examination of an ecotourism project on Jeju Island, South Korea was conducted for 18 months from 2011 to 2013.

The Erotic Wound: Sexual Racism and Queer Resistance in Digital Spaces

open access: yesCanadian Review of Sociology/Revue canadienne de sociologie, Volume 63, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This article proposes the erotic wound as a sociological concept to examine how queer people of colour (QPOC) experience sexual racism in digital intimacy, and—equally—to demonstrate how they actively contest, rework, and transform its effects through engagement in digital counterpublics.

The Sanitization of the Night: Gentrification and the Everyday Temporal Politics in Belgrade

open access: yesCity &Society, Volume 38, Issue 2, August 2026.

Between famine and freedom: Food prices during the Indonesian War of Independence, 1945–9

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, Volume 79, Issue 3, Page 1082-1107, August 2026.
Abstract This paper investigates how the Indonesian War of Independence (1945‒9) influenced staple food prices, and how fluctuations in those prices, in turn, shaped the trajectory and dynamics of the conflict. We compiled a dataset comprising more than 8600 prices for staple foods covering the entire Indonesian archipelago from 1939‒49, allowing us to

Local Adaptation to Current but Not Future Climate in Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests: Population Genomic Evidence in a Neotropical Legume Tree

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Neotropical seasonally dry biomes are amongst the world's most threatened ecosystems and are predicted to lose more biodiversity with climate change. The capacity of natural populations to respond to these changes depends on their genetic variation, but is poorly understood in most Neotropical seasonally dry forest species.

Birth of a scapegoat: An actor‐affect‐affordance model of symbolic attribution in the digital age

open access: yesPolitical Psychology, Volume 47, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract How do scapegoating narratives emerge, diffuse, and solidify within digital media ecosystems? This paper introduces an actor‐affect‐affordance (3A) model to explain how complex social problems become symbolically attributed to marginalized groups.
