Secondary Forest Conversion Into Betel Nut Plantations Reduces Soil Water Retention by Altering Soil Properties

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Soil hydrological properties were significantly altered by the land‐use change. Topsoil water retention was reduced by the conversion of tropical forests into betel nut plantations. Stable soil infiltration rates were reduced by the conversion of tropical forests into betel nut plantations.

Mechanisms of Action Involved in the In Vivo Gastroprotective Response of Fruits: A Systematic Review

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal diseases remain a significant global health concern, primarily due to the limitations of current pharmacological treatments, which often come with adverse side effects and high recurrence rates. This situation highlights the urgent need for safer and more effective alternatives.

Utilizing traditional literature to triangulate the ecological history of a tropical savanna

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 81-98, January 2026.
Abstract The ecological history of tropical savannas remains a subject of intense debate and of high conservation relevance. Despite emerging evidence suggesting the antiquity of tropical savannas, the misconception that all tropical savannas are products of anthropogenic deforestation still dominates public and policy spheres.

Energetic and oxidative costs of microfilarial infection: evidence for fitness trade‐offs in male village weavers of the Amurum Forest Reserve

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Microfilariae contribute to a higher energetic demand that could lead to oxidative damage and reduce hosts' fitness. Yet reports about the energy status and oxidative stress‐defense mechanisms of infected wild birds are rarely documented. We investigated the relationship between microfilariae and the energy status and oxidative damage‐defense ...
