Development of species distribution models helps identify source country anomalies in timber supply chains

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract For many timber species, a lack of consistent, comprehensive global distribution data makes validating supply source (country of harvest) difficult. To supplement these data, we developed species distribution models (SDMs) for the American mahogany species (genus Swietenia) to demonstrate how SDMs can assist in the analysis of supply sources ...

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 ...

Pharmaceutical Evaluation of the Suspending Properties of Pentadesma butyracea Gum in Biphasic Liquid Preparations of Diffusible and Indiffusible Powders

Advances in Pharmacological and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The use of synthetic polymers as suspending agents is common in pharmaceutical formulations; however, their toxicity and environmental impact have raised safety and sustainability concerns. This has prompted the search for natural alternatives. This study investigated the suspending properties of purified Pentadesma butyracea gum in biphasic liquid ...

Sustainable Land Management Practices Improve Soil Organic Matter Status in Central Benin

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
To restore soils degraded by unsuitable practices, which have led to declines in organic matter content and associated consequences, sustainable land management (SLM) practices have been implemented in central Benin. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of these practices on soil organic matter (SOM) levels in cultivated soils in Central Benin ...

Comparative Analysis of the Effects of Various Storage Packages on Maize (Zea mays L.) Postharvest Quality

International Journal of Food Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Maize is a critical staple crop, yet postharvest losses largely due to inadequate storage packages remain a significant issue in Tain District, Bono Region, Ghana. In the present study, different storage packages (treatments): hermetic bags, nylon sacks, and jute sacks (all stacked on wooden pallets) compared with unpackaged maize (maize stored on a ...
