Gender, Social Reproduction and the Construction of Capabilities for Social Sustainability of Agriculture: A Relational Approach

open access: yesSustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 8775-8788, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Farmers' capabilities, a core component of social sustainability, have been largely neglected in sustainable agriculture discourse. Using a relational approach to capabilities and autonomy, this study explores how women farmers translate the opportunity of agricultural innovation into their valued outcomes, and which factors shape their ...

Inhibition of chickpea seedling copper amine oxidases by tetraethylenepentamine [PDF]

open access: yes
Copper amine oxidases are important enzymes, which contribute to the regulation of monoand polyamine levels. Each monomer contains one Cu(II) ion and 2,4,5-trihydroxyphenylalanine (TPQ) as cofactors.

Alternative seed trait strategies are linked to a trade‐off between spatial and temporal dispersal

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3073-3085, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Seed dispersal allows plants to seek favourable conditions or spread the risk of unfavourable conditions through space and time. While theory predicts a trade‐off between spatial and temporal dispersal, empirical tests have been stymied by the difficulty of measuring ...

Demography in an increasingly variable world

open access: yes, 2006
Recent advances in stochastic demography provide unique insights into the probable effects of increasing environmental variability on population dynamics, and these insights can be substantially different compared with those from deterministic models ...

Trait variation driven by tree size more than environment and shows limited translation to species vital rates

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3302-3317, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Functional traits are expected to predict vital rates and performance outcomes because they mediate how organisms interact with the environment. However, trait‐based models often have poor predictive power for tree species survival and growth.

Stem water content predicts drought‐induced mortality in tropical semiarid species

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3318-3331, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Hydraulic Failure is one of the primary mechanisms underlying plant mortality during drought. Hydraulic failure occurs when the plant's xylem, under water stress, crosses a critical percentage of loss of xylem hydraulic conductivity (PLC) threshold, which causes the ...

Rainfall memory and spring atmospheric demand predict herbaceous biomass production in Mediterranean ecosystems

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 10, October 2026.
Across 24 years of observations from a long‐term Mediterranean rainfall‐manipulation experiment, herbaceous biomass was shaped by interacting climate controls rather than rainfall alone. Greater winter and spring rainfall memory promoted biomass, whereas high spring vapour pressure deficit reduced it; seasonal thermal variability further modified ...

Spatial demography: progress and prospect

open access: yes, 2018
In this talk I will define spatial demography and reflect on its position within the wider discipline, as well as discussing future or anticipated directions the field may take, with the focus once more on both research and instruction.
