More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

Engaging the public in plant science: Communication facilitators and barriers of scaling up a citizen science campaign

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Volunteers have been involved in nature observations for decades through citizen science initiatives, providing large data sets as well as problem identification that allow a more complete understanding of many natural phenomena. Although communication is a core component in citizen science, the key factors that determine its effectiveness in ...

Antioxidative and chaperone‐like activities of a bacterioruberin‐rich extract: An innovative approach to protect the skin proteome

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
The bacteriorubin‐rich extract of Arthrobacter agilis has high antioxidative properties, protecting proteins against oxidative stress and preventing their carbonylation. It also protects proteins against saline and heat stresses, suggesting a dual mode of action including antioxidant and chaperone‐like activities.

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

From rhetoric to measurement: The economics of wetland conservation

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 56-77, March 2026.
Abstract Wetland conservation continues to be a pressing issue as wetlands continue to be lost due to urban, industrial, and agricultural expansion. This paper synthesizes the current knowledge about wetland conservation economics in Canada, with a focus on prairie landscapes. We review the methods economists use to empirically measure the costs (i.e.,

Public willingness to pay for wetland restoration in the Canadian Prairie Pothole Region

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 35-55, March 2026.
Abstract Wetlands play a crucial role in the agricultural landscapes of Canada's Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) but are being lost to agricultural and urban development. There is increased interest from governments and conservation organizations in restoring previously drained wetlands, but these projects are costly and associated with intangible ...

Scoping Review of Paddy Field Dam Studies in Japan

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 1, Page 198-216, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Paddy field dams are one of the nature‐based solutions provided by farmers in Japan for mitigating flood damage. This scoping review analysed 38 papers in the Web of Science Core Collection and J‐STAGE obtained by searching for keywords associated with paddy field dams.

Ecological factors shaping post‐fire resilience in mature black spruce forests of eastern North America

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Our study provides an assessment of the fire resilience of mature black spruce (BS) forests. A third of pre‐fire mature closed‐canopy stands are expected to transition into open woodlands. While mature BS‐dominated forests are considered more fire‐resilient than younger stands, our study raises concerns about their capacity to persist under the ...

Understanding fire conflict through stakeholder mapping in Madagascar's grassy biomes

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 110-126, January 2026.
Abstract Fire management in biodiverse regions where rural communities depend on traditional fire‐use practices presents a complex global challenge, particularly in Madagascar where fire is considered a threat to forests yet is essential for maintaining grassland ecosystem health and rural livelihoods.

At‐sea distribution of seals on the Northwest European Shelf: Towards transboundary conservation and management

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study provides the first comprehensive, regionally scalable distribution estimates for pinnipeds across the NWES and its constituent countries. The modelling framework is adaptable to other central‐place and migratory species, supporting transboundary biodiversity assessments and international conservation policy. We discuss common limitations and
