High and dry: Environmental conditions drive opportunities for disease transmission in desert bighorn sheep

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
By using probabilistic models to predict contacts as a function of spatially and temporally varying environmental conditions, we show that population‐level conditions at the time of disease introduction can structure opportunities for transmission within each population.

Effects of Forest Cover and Seasonality on Several Faunal Groups in Cattle Ranching Landscapes of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
Forest cover within cattle ranches can strongly shape faunal biodiversity. In Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico. We show that butterflies, moths, dung beetles, and birds respond differently to forest cover across habitats (pastures vs. forest fragments) and seasons, as a function of their specialization and resource needs.

From Hierarchical Capitalism to Developmental Governance: The Emergence of Concerted Skills Formation in Middle‐Income Countries

Regulation &Governance, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 1005-1024, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Skills formation is a pressing issue for middle‐income countries given the pace of technological change. In Latin America, scholars point to the hierarchical type of capitalism and its segmentalist skills formation system as the main roadblocks to exiting the middle‐income trap.

Home‐Based Versus In‐Hospital Care in Pediatrics: A Systematic Review of Cost‐Effectiveness Studies

World Medical &Health Policy, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Home‐based care has emerged as a potential alternative to traditional hospital‐based care for children and adolescents worldwide. This systematic review aimed to systematically gather and critically assess the available evidence on the cost‐effectiveness of home‐based versus in‐hospital care for pediatric populations globally.

Plant and soil elemental coupling in response to experimentally altered precipitation and root herbivory in an Australian grassland

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
This work provides novel experimental evidence on how chemical elements in plants and soils respond to changes in precipitation regimes and shifts in plant–animal interactions (root herbivory), moving the focus from changes in plant and soil elements to the way in which such elements are coordinated.

Local canopy cover, shade tree identity and landscape tree cover shape leaf‐cutter ant nest density and herbivory in cacao agroforestry systems

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our findings provide practical guidance for agroforestry management by demonstrating that intercropping with selected species can mitigate damage from leaf‐cutter ants in cacao agroforests. At the landscape scale, high tree cover was associated with low herbivory rates, emphasising the need to maintain or restore forested habitats.

Assessing contributions of deterministic versus stochastic processes to local species assembly: A field experiment with annual plant‐dominated communities in gypsum systems

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
In this study, we experimentally show that stochasticity can play prominent roles in driving local species assembly in annual plant‐dominated communities of semiarid gypsum ecosystems. Drylands are traditionally viewed as restrictive environments that impose strong deterministic filtering effects, but neutral events can also contribute decisively to ...

Plant functional diversity does not dilute virus infection, but community virus prevalence positively correlates with net C3 grass production

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study examines if plant functional diversity dilutes plant virus prevalence in grass hosts and evaluates how virus prevalence influences net community and host production. Functional diversity did not mitigate or amplify virus prevalence. While we found that species relationships between virus prevalence and production varied, overall, virus ...
