Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 14, Page 8315-8328, November 2026.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2448-2466, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Ecological consequences of primary and secondary seed dispersal on seed and seedling fate of Dipteryx oleifera (Fabaceae)

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010
The relative contributions of primary and secondary seed dispersal to plant demography have received little investigation. Evidence on these seed dispersal types, on seed fate and seedling recruitment of the tropical rain forest tree Dipteryx oleifera ...

The effects of timing of grazing on plant and arthropod communities in high-elevation grasslands.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Livestock grazing can be used as a key management tool for maintaining healthy ecosystems. However, the effectiveness of using grazing to modify habitat for species of conservation concern depends on how the grazing regime is implemented.

Black‐Tailed Godwits Eat Animal and Plant Material at a Key Non‐Breeding Site at the Overlap of Two Asian Flyways

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Food resources are essential for understanding habitat use, migration strategies, and population dynamics of migratory shorebirds, yet dietary information for Black‐tailed Godwits in Asian flyways remains poorly known. We provide the first assessment of their non‐breeding diet in the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna delta, showing seasonal changes in prey ...

Comparative genomics reveals carbohydrate enzymatic fluctuations and herbivorous adaptations in arthropods

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal
Background: Arthropods represent the largest and most diverse phylum on Earth, playing a pivotal role in the biosphere. One key to their evolutionary success is their ability to feed on plant material.

The influence of weather conditions on the activity of high-arctic arthropods inferred from long-term observations

BMC Ecology, 2008
Background Climate change is particularly pronounced in the High Arctic and a better understanding of the repercussions on ecological processes like herbivory, predation and pollination is needed.

Future warming enhances rates of population increase of arthropod crop pests globally

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Arthropod herbivores cause severe crop yield losses worldwide. Global warming is expected to shift their ranges, phenologies and performances, highlighting the need for improved forecasts of their potential expansion and impacts on food security. After decades of experimental research on thermal biology of arthropod crop pests, available data and tools

Effects of habitat disturbance on physiological metrics of deer mice (Peromyscus sonoriensis)

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The effect of anthropogenic disturbance on wildlife physiology has been understudied and has produced inconsistent results. While some species appear unable to tolerate disturbance and disappear from disturbed areas, others seem able to persist, although it may be physiologically costly.
