“Is This Edible Anyway?” The Impact of Culture on the Evolution (and Devolution) of Mushroom Knowledge

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mushrooms are a ubiquitous and essential component in our biological environment and have been of interest to humans around the globe for millennia. Knowledge about mushrooms represents a prime example of cumulative culture, one of the key processes in human evolution.

On the need for biocultural approaches to restoration

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2598-2609, August 2026.
Abstract Ecological restoration is gaining global momentum for climate mitigation, yet its prevailing approach, often rooted in Western technical science, frequently appears neutral while inadvertently reinforcing power imbalances and sidelining local knowledge.

Reciprocal relations shape cultural landscapes: Women's environmental stewardship in Ait Bouguemez (High Atlas, Morocco)

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2847-2865, August 2026.
Abstract Mountain social–ecological systems encompass steep ecological gradients and diverse cultural practices, yet the relative roles of these factors in shaping mountain landscapes remain underexplored. In particular, the knowledge and practices of women in coproducing biocultural landscapes are often invisible in the academic literature. In the Ait

Conserving native Kalimantan species: the role of agroforestry in biodiversity conservation and carbon storage

Trees, Forests and People
The rich biodiversity of Kalimantan is threatened by land use changes, making it essential to adopt conservation strategies. The implementation of agroforestry systems by the local community is a potential conservation strategy to sustainably preserve ...

Habitat connectivity shapes biodiversity outcomes in Indonesia's community‐managed forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our findings suggest that community‐managed forests established within predominantly forested areas can make a meaningful contribution to area‐based conservation, including recognition as Other Effective Area‐based Conservation Measures (OECMs). In community‐managed forests established in more modified production landscapes, targeted restoration and ...

Repositories of biocultural diversity: Toward best practices for empowering ethnobotany in digital herbaria

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1095-1103, July 2026.
Societal Impact Statement As herbaria digitize millions of plant specimens, ethnobotanical information associated with them is becoming increasingly accessible. These biocultural data include plant uses, names, and/or management practices of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs).

Biodiversity science is improved when silent herbaria speak

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1378-1386, July 2026.
Herbaria in the Global South are critical yet underutilized resources for biodiversity science and often absent from international databases and research networks. We highlight the phenomenon of “silent herbaria” using Nigeria as a case study and quantify how these collections fill important gaps in global biodiversity knowledge.

Diverging Effects of Elevation on Species Richness of Freshwater Organisms: A Global Meta‐Analysis

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT A primary ecological challenge is to disentangle how abiotic factors affect species richness using measured environmental variables in addition to broad proxies such as elevation. Considering direct ecogeographical gradients, such as climate harshness, it is therefore essential to understand whether these underlying abiotic factors might ...
