Climate Change Mitigation in Rice Farming Should Account for Biodiversity

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.
Climate change mitigation and biodiversity loss are closely linked challenges, yet agricultural strategies often address them separately. Focusing on rice farming, this article shows that widely promoted water‐saving practices can reduce greenhouse gas emissions but may also harm freshwater biodiversity that depends on flooded fields.

Biological Activities of trans‐Nerolidol–Rich Chamaecyparis obtusa Essential Oil and Its Application in Lettuce Preservation

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Chinese hinoki essential oil (Chamaecyparis obtusa (Siebold & Zucc.) Endl.; HEO) was characterized by GC‐MS, and its antimicrobial, insecticidal, and potential preservative activities were evaluated. The analyzed essential oil exhibited a trans‐nerolidol–dominant composition, contributing additional data to the currently limited information available ...

Getah Virus in Review: An Emerging Zoonotic Arbovirus

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Getah virus (GETV), a zoonotic virus, belongs to Togaviridae, Alphavirus. GETV leads to diarrhea in piglets and dysfunction of the reproductive system in sows, with pregnant sows potentially experiencing abortion, fetal death, or weak offspring, causing a severe impact on the livestock industry and resulting in economic losses.

Studies on Anopheles sinensis, the vector species of vivax malaria in Korea [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2005
Extensive previous studies on taxonomy, behavior/bionomics and control of Anopheles sinensis are reviewed and summarized. Recent molecular identification revealed that the population of An. sinensis complex includes An. sinensis, An. pullus, An. lesteri and at least two new species, and An. yatsushiroensis is synonmy of An. pullus. An.
