The private and public insurance value of conservative biodiversity management [PDF]

The ecological literature suggests that biodiversity reduces the variance of ecosystem services. Thus, conservative biodiversity management has an insurance value to risk-averse users of ecosystem services.

Global beef production: Trends, challenges, and opportunities for sustainable development

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Sustainable livestock systems require managing trade‐offs and synergies across productive, socioeconomic, and environmental dimensions to meet rising global beef demand. We present a biophysical framework to analyze how management‐driven energy allocation is manifested through herd size and total and per‐head beef productivity.

Simulating Agroecology Policy Options for the Resilience of Smallholder Food Security to Climate Shocks

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Climate shocks and the agroecology–resilience nexus of smallholders. Summary of key findings: Agroecology increases smallholder resilience capacity by 8.7% in the short term under a decreased rainfall scenario, a projected 11% decline in precipitation reduces resilience by 5.6% and 14.2% in the short and long terms, respectively, and a policy‐induced ...

Modelling Climate‐Resilient Habitats for Conservation and Restoration of Isoberlinia doka Craib and Stapf and Isoberlinia tomentosa (Harms) Craib and Stapf in Benin

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Despite having similar climatic niches, woody plant species can exhibit contrasting responses to climate change. Using MaxEnt and spatial prioritization, we evaluated Isoberlinia doka and I. tomentosa under future climate scenarios (2041–2060). Despite high niche overlap (D = 0.635; I = 0.788), I. doka experienced severe habitat contraction, whereas I.

Freshwater Biodiversity Research in Brazil: Trends from a Systematic Review and Topic Modeling

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Brazil is a megadiverse country that hosts six major biomes and a vast freshwater network. Despite this richness, research on freshwater biodiversity has been heterogeneous across regions, communities, and time, leaving significant knowledge gaps.

Wildfire in the Surrounding Landscape Alters Limnological Conditions and Plankton Communities in a Tropical Reservoir

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Wildfires are becoming increasingly frequent and severe as a consequence of climate change. Their impacts on terrestrial ecosystems and on the atmosphere include the release of gases and ash, as well as enhanced soil susceptibility to erosion and the downstream transport of materials into aquatic systems.

Locked Pollen, Unchanged Buzzes: Bumblebee Foraging Behavior Persists Despite Pollen Restriction in a Poricidal Legume

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 4, December 2026.
In plants that offer pollen as their sole floral reward, this resource is finite and nonreplenishable, making such plants useful systems for studying how resource availability across flowers shapes pollinator behavior. Because tropical ecosystems of the Global South harbor exceptionally diverse plant–pollinator interactions, understanding pollinator ...
