Farmer selection of drought‐tolerant enset landraces reduces trait diversity in drier environments

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Drought stress poses a growing threat to food security worldwide. In this study, we investigated the putative drought tolerance traits of enset, a multipurpose staple crop endemic to Ethiopia that sustains over 20 million people. Our findings reveal that enset's domestication has reduced landrace diversity and trait variability, particularly in drier ...

The pitfalls of pastoralism and grazing's hidden threat: Exacerbation of rainfall erosion in semi‐arid areas of China

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The steppe is facing an increase in soil erosion, which is threatening the ecosystem and agricultural production. Our study reveals how grazing intensity and rainfall exacerbate soil erosion that is leading to a gradual loss of soil nutrients. This study raises a warning to both herders and policymakers that focusing on grazing without considering the ...

Alpine greening deciphered by forest stand and structure dynamics in advancing treelines of the southwestern European Alps

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Multidecadal satellite observations, like those from Landsat, enable the study of vegetation greenness trends at extensive spatial and temporal scales. Alpine ecosystems show significant increases in vegetation greenness, but the ecological processes driving this greening are less understood.

Trade‐Offs Among SDGs: How the Pursuit of Economic, Food, and Urban Development Goals May Undermine Climate and Equity Targets?

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a comprehensive framework for addressing global challenges; however, their implementation reveals critical tensions between development priorities and climate action that warrant deeper examination.

Forging a New Frontier: Antimicrobial Peptides and Nanotechnology Converging to Conquer Gastrointestinal Pathogens

open access: yesSmall, Volume 21, Issue 26, July 3, 2025.
This review explores the potential of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and nanotechnology for the treatment of gastrointestinal infections. It analyzes bacterial resistance mechanisms, the antimicrobial actions of AMPs, and advances in nanocarriers, such as lipid‐based, polymeric, metallic, and mesoporous silica systems, that enhance peptide protection ...

Impact of Droplet Splashing on Biological and Medical Materials Relevant to Clinical Settings

open access: yesSmall Science, EarlyView.
Droplet splashing on biological and medical materials poses contamination risks in clinical settings. Using high‐speed imaging and quantitative modelling, this study reveals how fluid properties and surface features—like roughness and curvature—govern splash dynamics.
