A Global Systematic Map of Trends and Knowledge Gaps in Nontimber Forest Product Management for Livelihood and Ecosystem Resilience

International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Nontimber forest products (NTFPs) are widely recognized for their roles in supporting the livelihoods and cultural practices of forest‐dependent communities and their contributions to ecological conservation. However, the evidence base is highly heterogenous and dispersed across disciplines, regions, and product types, constraining both a consolidated ...

Pollination ecology in the tropical Andes: moving towards a cross‐scale approach

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2312-2345, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Plant–pollinator interactions structure ecological communities and represent a key component of ecosystem functioning. Pollination networks are expected to be more diverse and specialised in the tropics, but pollination ecology in these regions has been understudied in comparison to other areas.

Ensuring Pollinator Presence in Expanding Oil Crops: The Case of Mystrops debilis (Nitidulidae) and the Macauba Palm (Acrocomia aculeata, Arecaceae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 8, Page 1180-1195, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The macauba palm (Acrocomia aculeata, Arecaceae) is a Neotropical native oil palm, increasingly important in Central and South America due to rising demand for raw materials and its potential for bioenergy. Understanding its pollinator ecology is crucial to identify new areas for cultivation. This study examines the structure of floral visitor

Palm Demography Is Biased Towards Neotropical and Human‐Used Species, While the Richest Biogeographic Region and Threatened Taxa Are Neglected

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Demographic studies are essential for understanding how species populations respond over time to environmental conditions and anthropogenic pressures. This knowledge is crucial for developing effective conservation and management strategies. The Arecaceae family (palms), comprising approximately 2500 species, plays significant ecological and ...

Insights From a New 1‐ha Permanent Forest Plot Reveal Differences Between Habitat Type and Similarities Between Forest Type in the Southwestern Amazon

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Southwestern Amazon forests are highly diverse, but information on how tree diversity and composition changes between habitat and forest types remains scarce. We conducted floristic analyses to investigate these changes across a precipitation gradient, between habitat types, and between disturbed and old‐growth forest.

Long‐Term Fire and Vegetation Change at Cocha Cashu Biological Station, Peru

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 3, May 2025.
Cocha Cashu is a dynamic system that has experienced various forms of past ecological turnover. However, the dynamism seen at Cocha Cashu was not caused by intensive human activities in the past. ABSTRACT Past human influence from the pre‐Columbian and colonial periods may have played a role in shaping modern Amazonian vegetation.
