Abstract Urban environments create unique challenges for wildlife, where dietary habits may reflect both ecological heterogeneity and societal disparities. In this study, we explored how social factors such as household income and human population density, and ecological factors such as tree canopy correlate with coyote (Canis latrans) diets in Seattle,

ABSTRACT Low water activity ingredients, including dried fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices, are widely used in ready‐to‐eat (RTE) and non‐RTE foods. Although low water activity limits microbial growth, bacterial pathogens can survive for extended periods in these products.

Urban Animal Density: Red Foxes and Emergent Sociality in the City
Short Abstract Density is considered a foundational quality of urban life. Geographical investigations of density remain anthropocentric, despite the fact that animals also live at high density in cities. Through a collaborative ethological‐ethnographic study of a group of foxes in London, this paper asks how urban animal density is produced ...

Statement on MRLs for difluoroacetic acid (DFA)
Abstract In accordance with Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the European Commission requested EFSA to carry out a targeted review of the maximum residue levels (MRLs) for difluoroacetic acid (DFA), following the availability of data on DFA residue levels in commodities for which EU MRLs are based on Codex MRLs. EFSA identified the Codex MRLs

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Summary New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) can be an important tool to achieve the goals set out in the European Green Deal like food security, environmental sustainability and climate change adaptation. However, the success of NGT‐derived products in the market depends on their acceptance by consumers and stakeholders.

Cirsium arvense management with electrical weed control and clopyralid
Electrical weed control (EWC) treatments reduced Cirsium arvense biomass by ≤95% and suppressed new shoot emergence by 70–95%, achieving control comparable to clopyralid. Sequential or integrated applications enhanced efficacy, demonstrating EWC's potential as a nonchemical tool for perennial weed management in orchard systems.
