Differential LTR-retrotransposon dynamics across polyploidization, speciation, domestication and improvement of cotton (Gossypium)

Background Transposable elements (TEs) are major components of plant genomes and major drivers of plant genome evolution. The cotton genus (Gossypium) is an excellent evolutionary model for polyploidization, speciation, domestication and crop improvement.

A review of high nature value farming systems in Europe: Biodiversity, ecosystem services, drivers, innovations and future prospects

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Farming systems of high natural and cultural value represent approximately 30% of farmlands in the European Union and are associated with a high species and habitat diversity and/or the presence of species of European conservation concern. This study aims to synthesize the existing knowledge on the assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem ...

The impact of COVID‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to
