Differential effects of agricultural expansion on wild bee taxonomic and functional diversity

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 878-892, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollinators, especially bees, are in global decline, threatening biodiversity and food security. While intensive agriculture is a primary driver, its impact on bee functional diversity—particularly in the diverse Mediterranean region—remains understudied.

Entre culture et science : l’État, l’innovation et le changement agricole dans la région de Charlevoix, fin XIXe — début XXe [PDF]

Scientia Canadensis, 2009
Interventions malhabiles des agents agricoles de l’État et agriculteurs routiniers ont été souvent mentionnés comme explication aux lents progrès de la transformation de l’agriculture dans les dernières décennies du XIXe siècle et les premières du XXe siècle. Mais le problème paraît beaucoup plus complexe, comme le découvrent progressivement les agents

Global determinants of home range sizes in felids: Evidence of human disturbance impact

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 697-711, April 2026.
This study is the first to demonstrate the influence of anthropogenic factors and species richness in felids on home range size across the entire felid taxon. Felids are a taxon of major interest in conservation biology, and gaining a comprehensive view of their spatial ecology will help derive global conservation recommendations.

La méthanisation agricole saisie par les sciences humaines et sociales : transition énergétique versus transition écologique ?

Natures Sciences Sociétés
Cet article éclaire le champ de recherche de la méthanisation agricole en interrogeant la tension qui ressort entre le répertoire de la transition énergétique et celui de la transition écologique lorsqu’on examine la territorialisation des acteurs et des processus, et non simplement la production d’énergie renouvelable.

Comparative Analysis of Lavandula Dentata Rhizosphere Microbiota Across Different Developmental Stages in a Semi‐Arid Area

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study aims to give deeper insight into the relationship between the dynamics of the rhizospheric microbiota and the developmental stages of L. dentata growing spontaneously in a semi‐arid environment. To achieve this objective, we examined and monitored the biomass (using phospholipid fatty acid, PLFA analysis), diversity and network complexity of

Threats to and management of Natura 2000 protected areas relative to agricultural practices

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network combines biodiversity protection and socioeconomic targets. Human activities, such as agricultural practices, can affect biodiversity in N2K sites in diverse ways. Limiting activities with negative impacts while enforcing land management that supports biodiversity is crucial for effective conservation.
