A combination of conserved and diverged responses underlies Theobroma cacao’s defense response to Phytophthora palmivora
(BMC Biology, 2024)
Plants have complex and dynamic immune systems that have evolved to resist pathogens. Humans have worked to enhance these defenses in crops through breeding. However, many crops harbor only a fraction of the genetic diversity ...
Making finance flow to adaptation in small-scale agrifood systems. The role of the third long-term goal of the Paris Agreement.
(ODI, 2024-03)
This paper is the second in a pair of reports exploring how climate-resilient development can be supported through the implementation of the third long-term goal of the Paris Agreement, Article 2.1(c). As identified in the ...
Tropical forest succession increases taxonomic and functional tree richness but decreases evenness
(Wiley, 2024-06-08)
Successional changes in functional diversity provide insights into community assembly by indicating how species are filtered into local communities based on their traits. Here, we assess successional changes in taxonomic ...
Tree demographic strategies largely overlap across succession in Neotropical wet and dry forest communities
(2024-05-19)
Secondary tropical forests play an increasingly important role in carbon budgets and biodiversity conservation. Understanding successional trajectories is therefore imperative for guiding forest restoration and climate ...
Quantifying movement of the coffee berry borer at the interface between coffee plantations and adjacent land uses
(Frontiers, 2024-04-03)
In this study, our objective was to provide evidence of the movement of the coffee berry borer (CBB), the most important pest in coffee cultivation, from neighboring coffee plantations to adjacent land uses at different ...
Haitian coffee agroforestry systems harbor complex arabica variety mixtures and under recognized genetic diversity
(University of Jeddah, 2024-04-16)
Though facing significant challenges, coffee (Coffea arabica) grown in Haitian agroforestry systems are important contributors to rural livelihoods and provide several ecosystem services. However, little is known about ...
Making Global Climate Action work for nature and people: Priorities for Race to Zero and Race to Resilience
(Science Direct, 2024-09)
There is increasing recognition in science and policy that the current nature and climate change crises are highly intertwined, and that these need to be jointly addressed. Within the United Nations Framework Convention ...
