Frugivore Declines Across Taxa Affect Forest Biomass

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
We examined how frugivore declines affect aboveground biomass in 260 1‐ha forest plots across Gabon using imputed frugivory networks between 122 frugivores and 99,349 trees. Simulated frugivore declines across Gabon tended to reduce aboveground biomass, with effects varying by taxon and geography.

Riparian Restoration Improves Physical Habitat but Not Ecosystem Functioning to Reference Levels in Urban Neotropical Streams

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanization modifies stream ecosystems through changes in land use and water quality, with particularly understudied effects in tropical regions. This study evaluates how the conservation status (reference, restored, and impacted) influences nutrient enrichment and organic matter decomposition—key indicators of ecosystem function—across five ...

Tick‐Tac‐Foe: When Ticks, Trade, and Zoonotic Pathogens Align in African Wet Meat Markets

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases account for over ∼60% of infectious diseases and present a significantly growing fatality threat in Africa. Live and wet markets (LWMs) in Africa function as key economic venues that support human livelihoods through social interaction and trade in food stuff, including meat and other animal‐based products.

Genome‐wide association studies of a pea germplasm reveal novel markers and candidate genes implicated in resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi races 1 and 2

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an essential legume crop cultivated globally as food and feed. However, its production is greatly constrained by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi (Fop). Breeding for resistance is the most efficient management strategy, but the genetic foundation of Fop resistance remains unclear.

Antimicrobial Secondary Metabolites From Rhizosphere‐Associated Streptomyces Species in Northern Nigerian Agricultural Soils: Genomic Mining and Bioactivity Assessment

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Nigerian agricultural soils harbour diverse Streptomyces species producing novel antimicrobial secondary metabolites. Genomic mining revealed 187 biosynthetic gene clusters, leading to isolation of twelve new compounds with potent activity against multidrug‐resistant pathogens, including MRSA and vancomycin‐resistant Enterococcus. ABSTRACT Streptomyces

Vegetal Infrastructure: Rwanda's Eucalyptus Boom and the Material Politics of Tree Planting as a ‘Nature‐Based Solution’

The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract This article analyses the political ecology of Rwanda's eucalyptus boom, situating it as a site of tension within a global push towards ‘nature‐based solutions’. It develops the concept of vegetal infrastructure, demonstrating how certain tree species become legible to global environmental governance while making local social ...

Vast, overlooked peat, and organic soils in Brazil's Cerrado: carbon storage, dynamics, and stability

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2946-2965, June 2026.
Summary Tropical peatlands are critical for climate mitigation due to their dual role as major carbon sinks and methane sources. In rainforests, high and stable rainfall supports peat accumulation in tropical climates. However, groundwater‐fed peatlands in seasonally dry tropical ecosystems remain poorly understood, despite their potential importance ...
