Informal Firms' Adoption and Use of Mobile Money Under Uncertain Times: Evidence From Burkina Faso

Review of Development Economics, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 1533-1564, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how uncertainty affects mobile money adoption and use by informal businesses. Despite the prevalence of the informal sector in developing countries and the recognized potential of mobile money for financial inclusion, empirical research on its adoption and usage among unregistered businesses is limited.

First Insight Into Multiple Paternity in the Potato Cyst Nematode Globodera pallida Facing Masculinizing Plant Resistance

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study demonstrated multiple paternity in the potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida: all females were polyandrous. Moreover, the female mating rate with different males appeared to remain stable, i.e., an average of seven fathering males, throughout the adaptation process to a masculinizing potato resistance.

Invasive plant species for compost production: Review of environmental and economic insights

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Invasive plant species pose significant ecological and economic challenges, threatening biodiversity and altering soil properties, while conventional control methods are often costly and resource‐intensive. This review examines the potential of composting invasive plant biomass as a viable and sustainable alternative that aligns with circular ...

Connecting tradition and technology: The digitization of the ethnobotanical collection at the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1104-1115, July 2026.
The digitization of RBetno (JBRJ) represents a step forward for biodiversity conservation in Brazil. Aligned with the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (Target 2, 2020–2030), this project documents the use of plants, including traditional knowledge and vernacular names, with a focus on the Atlantic Forest and Amazon.

Synergistic attraction: Development and field evaluation of a multicomponent lure for Zeugodacus cucurbitae based on host‐plant volatiles and gut bacterium‐derived volatiles

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6919-6930, July 2026.
The newly developed ternary blend was validated in field trials and proved highly effective in attracting both male and female Zeugodacus cucurbitae. Abstract BACKGROUND Zeugodacus cucurbitae is a global quarantine pest. Management of this pest relies heavily on chemical insecticides, which impose substantial environmental burdens. Male‐specific lures [

Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus: A persistent seed‐borne threat to cucurbits

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is a highly stable, seed‐borne tobamovirus that threatens global cucurbit production. Its efficient mechanical and seed transmission, long‐term environmental persistence, and the spread of Clade II CGMMV isolates drive its rapid dissemination and cause severe yield losses.

Rhizobia–Bean Symbiosis Increases Root Herbivore Attraction and Growth via Volatile Signals and Enhanced Nutrition

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3952-3962, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The symbiosis between nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia and plants is considered mutually beneficial, yet its indirect effects on other organisms remain understudied. We examined how rhizobia symbiosis in Phaseolus vulgaris influences the behaviour and performance of Diabrotica balteata larvae. Specifically, we tested larval preference for nodulated (R+

Detection and Identification of Quarantine and Non-Quarantine Pest Species of Prunus avium Agroecosystem in Kyrgyzstan

Bulletin of Science and Practice
Research of agroecosystem is a comprehensive study of one species with in biocenosis taking into account integrated plant protection to increase output. Gardeners in developing countries most often resort to the use of highly toxic universal pesticides, which leads to the Pesticide Syndrome with general decline of these products.
