PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1616-1633, September 2026.The use of wild edible plants and the traditional knowledge associated with them are rapidly disappearing across the Mediterranean, with serious consequences for biodiversity, cultural heritage, and regional food security. This study compiles and organizes fragmented information to create the first comprehensive catalogue of these plants across the ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1500-1516, September 2026.For generations, Mediterranean communities have used Lamiaceae or Labiatae plants like rosemary, thyme or mint to care for their health and to enrich their food. By bringing together dispersed knowledge from across the Mediterranean region, our review revealed the continuing relevance of Lamiaceae while also compiling past uses that may hold future ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1778-1791, September 2026.Utility‐scale solar energy (USSE) development generates novel questions regarding coupling clean energy production with terrestrial ecosystem services (e.g., forage production, pollinator support). We found that a USSE array sited in a fallowed cropland maintained a reseeded native plant community even a decade post‐restoration and that the array ...

Co‐Flowering Plant Species in a Glasshouse Boost Both Strawberry Production and Bee Health
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.Integrating co‐flowering plants into glasshouse strawberry systems creates a “win‐win” synergy where floral diversification enhances stingless bee vitality and crop visitation. This approach increased A‐grade fruit from 25% to 70%, demonstrating that strategic biodiversity integration optimises both pollinator health and sustainable agricultural ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.Our study provides a pathway to leverage functional diversity to quantitatively characterize solar‐associated avian communities and the ecological mechanisms that shape them. Our results suggest that meeting biodiversity conservation goals while achieving solar energy targets requires ecologically informed siting and processes, particularly across ...

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.Landscape complexity and configuration influence bird functional diversity and the distribution of functional groups across natural and degraded land‐cover types. The graphical abstract illustrates how increasing landscape complexity and configuration are associated with higher functional diversity (FD), functional richness (FRic) and functional ...

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding the effects of high temperatures and water deficit on germination provides valuable insights into seed stress tolerance, guiding the use of native seeds in ecological restoration. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of (1) temperature peaks and (2) water stress treatments and post‐stress recovery on the germination of some ...

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.Exotic taxa dominate the urban woody flora, with potentially invasive species posing a direct risk to adjacent primary forest remnants. Historical management has favored a simplified, cosmopolitan species pool over regional biodiversity. There is failure to implement local native‐priority mandates, offering concrete ecological targets for urban ...

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.ABSTRACT Bats, the second most diverse group of mammals, play essential ecological roles in insect control, pollination, and seed dispersal. In Peru, insectivorous bats remain poorly studied, particularly in high‐elevation rainforest ecosystems of the upper Amazon region.
