Past, present and future of local crop evolution

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

From traditional practice to unsustainable exploitation: Fruit overharvesting on the endangered relict palm Jubaea chilensis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Overharvesting of wild edible plants poses a growing threat to plant populations worldwide, particularly for slow‐growing species with limited regeneration. We quantified fruit extraction from the third‐largest known population of Jubaea chilensis—an endangered palm endemic to Chile—modeled the critical harvest threshold, and assessed consumer ...

Niche‐tracking as a collecting method: Habitat‐targeted search strategies for taxon‐focused botany

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biodiversity science depends on more than collecting plants—it depends on how we search for them. Although GPS and digital maps have transformed fieldwork, they can also encourage repeated visits to the same easy‐to‐access sites, leaving other habitats and populations unknown to science.

Use of amazonian fruits in dental bleaching

OBSERVATÓRIO DE LA ECONOMÍA LATINOAMERICANA
Natural products stand out for their chemical diversity, thus plants are important candidates for screening new bioactive compounds. This study evaluated the effect of plant extracts combined with 16% carbamide peroxide (PC16%) on tooth whitening. Bovine teeth and composite resin blocks were randomly assigned to pigmentation and whitening protocols ...

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...

Taxogenomic Characterization and Comparative Genomic Analysis of Hermanozyma buritii sp. nov., f.a., a Yeast Species Isolated From Plants and Soil

Yeast, EarlyView.
Isolation of the novel yeast species Hernanozyma buritii sp. nov. from soil and plant in Brazil, followed by phylogenetic characterization and genome analysis, highlighting its relationship with closely related taxa and genomic features associated with mating, pulcherriminic acid biosynthesis, and iron‐dependent pigmentation.

Availability of a Keystone Plant Resource Reduces Niche Overlap and Drives Distinct Species‐Specific Changes in Niche Breadth Among Small Rodents

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated how three rodent species respond to the seasonal availability of Araucaria angustifolia seeds. While Oligoryzomys spp. increased seed consumption and abundance during seed production, the more insectivorous Akodon paranaensis maintained a broader diet.

The Social Determination of Racial Inequities in Oral Health Among Indigenous Peoples

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To foster a critical analysis of the racial inequities affecting the oral health (OH) of Indigenous peoples in Brazil, framed by the social determination of the health‐disease‐care process (SDHP). Methods This critical literature review articulates the themes of colonisation, Indigenous peoples' oral health and racial inequities in ...
