Critical Infrastructure, Climate Disasters, and Cultural Survival: Policy Failures and Community Displacement in the Era of Managed Retreat

Journal of Critical Infrastructure Policy, Volume 7, Issue 2, Fall/Winter 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate disasters are currently changing territory around the world by showing large inequalities that exist in infrastructure systems, governance arrangements, and development pathways. In many cases, climate risk response strategies like managed retreat have been framed as practical approaches to respond to increasing climate disasters ...

Soil Properties and Plant Species Identity Independently Influence Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Composition Across Lowland Tropical Forests

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We found that plant species identity and soil properties, especially soil phosphorus availability, independently structured arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community composition in tropical forests across central Panama. We also found that soil nutrient availability may mediate the interaction networks between plants and AMF. ABSTRACT Plant species

Patch and Landscape Predictors of Mammal Diversity and Their Trait‐Relationships in the Largest Atlantic Forest Island in Brazil

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Urbanization and habitat fragmentation reshape mammal communities on Santa Catarina Island, one of the largest Atlantic Forest islands in Brazil. Using camera traps across protected forest patches, we show that species richness declines with urban and unvegetated matrices, while abundance increases in smaller and more isolated fragments dominated by ...

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

Conservation 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.

Formas políticas peri-urbanas

Diálogos Latinoamericanos, 2008
This essay explores the production of peri-urban participatorypractices in the city of Cochabamba, Bolivia. We seek to identify thedistinctive and productive elements of local forms of social andpolitical organization, constructed both in spite of and in the contextof the city’s exclusions.

Urban rendezvous: Spatiotemporal overlap is more important than abundance and trait matching for urban plant–pollinator interactions

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our study shows that the generalized structure of urban plant–pollinator interactions is mirrored in the mechanisms that shape them, as interactions are governed primarily by less restrictive drivers such as abundance and spatiotemporal overlap rather than by trait matching.

How Management Practices Shape the “Local Habitat Signature” That Modulates Bird Communities in Urban Green Spaces

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Local scale factors, not just the broad urban gradient, are the key drivers of urban bird communities. Our multi‐scale study found that specific management practices, such as managing leaf litter depth or the presence of unmanaged tall grass, explained the largest portion of variation in bird composition.
