The effect of different processing methods on nutrient retention in African leafy vegetables (fig‐leaf gourd leaves)

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Inadequate nutrition is a leading factor in global health challenges, particularly in sub‐Saharan Africa, where malnutrition and hunger remain widespread. Fig‐leaf gourd (Cucurbita ficifolia), a nutrient‐dense African leafy vegetable, is readily available to low‐income populations and holds promise for improving micronutrient intake

Structural stability of plant–pollinator interactions despite seasonal abundance of long‐tongued hawkmoths

Oikos, EarlyView.
Seasonal environmental cycles affect plant–pollinator interactions by altering plant phenology. Periods of low resource availability can filter pollinators and reduce the complexity of interaction networks, but the extent to which the functional morphology of pollinators influences such filtering remains unclear.

Prospective of indigenous African wild food plants in alleviation of the severe iron deficiency anaemia in Sub‐Saharan Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Iron deficiency anaemia remains a major public health challenge in Sub‐Saharan Africa, where population growth, displacement and limited resources heighten nutritional insecurity. We compiled a list of indigenous African underutilized wild food plants and examined their potential for addressing micronutrient deficiencies.

Linking to images and AI‐based identification tools—The only way for Flora projects to survive

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Floras are comprehensive and authoritative catalogues of plants growing in an area of interest. They help people find and name plants, which is achieved by a combination of images, drawings, and text, rarely also maps. Like other catalogues (lexica, dictionaries, telephone books), Floras will not survive unless they move online and become portable ...
