Carbon finance initiatives can provide biodiversity benefits
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.We evaluated the biodiversity co‐benefits of a REDD+ initiative in the tropical forests of Sierra Leone and Liberia using a quasi‐experimental study design. Complementary measures from bioacoustics and DNA metabarcoding revealed that REDD+‐financed protected areas were associated with additional biodiversity benefits compared to control areas.

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 351-363, April 2026.ABSTRACT Pollination is a key ecosystem service, yet most studies focus on diurnal interactions, often overlooking nocturnal pollinators such as hawkmoths and settling moths. In arid environments, nocturnal pollination plays a crucial role in maintaining native plant species of high biocultural value, as seen in the Caatinga dry forest.

Target capture efficiently resolves the long‐standing taxonomic dead end of Diachrysia moths
Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.We demonstrate the high efficiency of the target capture method in elucidating the taxonomy of the cryptic species of Diachrysia chrysitis and D. stenochrysis. Phylogenomic and population structure analyses reveal clear nuclear divergence and asymmetric allele sharing, consistent with historical gene flow rather than recent hybridization.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 380-392, March 2026.We surveyed 119 stands of common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) across an urbanisation gradient to investigate how restored garden habitat might ameliorate the negative effects of urbanisation on specialist herbivores. Surprisingly, we found most herbivores (including the monarch butterfly) had greater occupancy on common milkweed towards an urban centre.
