Feast or famine: How food deserts, wealth and greenspace correlate with coyote diets in Seattle, Washington

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 3051-3065, September 2026.
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,

A Risk‐Based Framework for Ranking Microbiological Hazards and Identifying Mitigation Strategies for Dried Fruits, Vegetables, Herbs, and Spices Used in Ready‐to‐Eat Foods

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
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

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 3, September 2026.
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)

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
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

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1805-1829, August 2026.
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.

Will European Consumers and Stakeholders accept New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) in Food Production? Les consommateurs et les parties prenantes européens accepteront‐ils les nouvelles techniques génomiques (NTG) dans la production alimentaire ? Werden europäische Verbraucher und Interessengruppen neue genomische Verfahren (NGV) in der Lebensmittelproduktion akzeptieren?

open access: yesEuroChoices, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 22-28, August 2026.
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.

Review of the existing maximum residue levels for clopyralid according to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA has reviewed the maximum residue levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for the pesticide active substance clopyralid. To assess the occurrence of clopyralid residues in plants, processed commodities, rotational crops and livestock, EFSA considered the conclusions ...

Cirsium arvense management with electrical weed control and clopyralid

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6575-6584, July 2026.
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.
