Mitigating Black Pod Disease in Cocoa Plants: An Optimal Control and Cost‐Effectiveness Analysis

open access: yesNatural Resource Modeling, Volume 39, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Black pod disease (BPD), caused by Phytophthora species, continues to pose a significant threat to cocoa production, particularly in tropical regions where cocoa farming is a major economic activity. This study develops a deterministic compartmental model to understand the transmission dynamics of BPD and evaluate the impact of multiple ...

Chocolate Bushbabies: Cocoa Agroforests as Habitat for Galagos (Galagidae) in the Ashanti Region, Ghana

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We assessed whether galagos occur in cocoa agroforestry systems in the Ashanti Region of Ghana, using passive acoustic monitoring and a YOLOv5‐based convolutional neural network trained on galago vocalisations from sub‐Saharan Africa. We confirmed the presence of at least one species of western dwarf galago (Galagoides sp.) in four cocoa agroforests ...
