Congo Basin Carbon Cycle Responses to Global Change

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.
Understanding the resilience of the Congo Basin carbon cycle in the face of current and future pressures requires a detailed understanding of its response to past and present drivers of change. Building on a pantropical framework of drivers and possible regional mechanisms for resilience, this review provides the first comprehensive assessment of Congo

Elevational Patterns in Two Groups of Micromoths (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae, Alucitidae) in Tropical Forests of Mount Cameroon

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Tropical elevational gradients offer unique insights into ecological processes shaping biodiversity, although micromoths remain severely understudied, especially in the Afrotropics. We analysed species richness, community composition, elevational range size and wingspan of two micromoth families, many‐plumed moths (Alucitidae) and plume moths (

Are crop fields pharmacies for megaherbivores? From ecophysiological studies of elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) crop raiders in Gabon

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Forest elephants need to be conserved not only because they act as forest engineers. They also appear to be self‐medication specialists and could possibly help humans to cope with present and future health issues. Managers should include the development of medicinal leeches to mitigate HEC.
