Seasonality of fruiting phenology, hunting behaviour and taste preferences in Madagascar's Makira Protected Area

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 935-944, April 2026.
Abstract For many people around the world, especially in Indigenous communities, seasonal changes affect the availability and desirability of different types of food. Assessing the relationship between seasonality, sociocultural preferences and hunting patterns is vital for understanding how these populations harness seasonal food production dynamics ...

Seed dormancy explains plant response to mass mortality events

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 907-921, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are large‐scale, rapid die‐offs resulting in extreme inputs of carrion biomass. Recent work demonstrates the effects of increasing carrion biomass on plant communities modulated by vertebrate scavengers and herbivores.

Vegetation type mediates how urbanization reshapes the structure, function, and spatial variation of soil food webs

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 956-968, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Urbanization represents one of the major anthropogenic alterations of the Earth's surface, with significant impacts on biodiversity and its functions. Soil animals are essential components of biodiversity, and their trophic interactions play integral roles in the ...

Introducing TropiCam‐AI: A taxonomically flexible automated classifier of Neotropical arboreal mammals and birds from camera‐trap data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1235-1247, April 2026.
Abstract Rapid, accurate assessment of arboreal vertebrates in tropical forests remains a bottleneck for large‐scale biodiversity monitoring, due to the challenges and effort associated with traditional survey methods. To bridge this gap, arboreal camera‐trapping is emerging as a promising way to observe otherwise elusive species, opening new avenues ...

Informing spatial conservation prioritization with species’ traits

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target.

Resistance of Tectona grandis To Ceratocystis Wilt

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Tectona grandis (teak) is a tree species highly appreciated for its high‐quality hardwood and versatile industrial applications. Despite clonal teak plantations showing several advantages, such as reduced rotation time and increased wood volume production, the genetic uniformity of plantations makes them more susceptible to diseases ...
