Assessing plant water status: Part 1 – Classical methods

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract As a result of the changing climate, water scarcity poses a significant threat to crop and pasture production. Although soil water content can indicate drought, its measurements often provide limited spatial resolution and are weakly correlated with plant water status, producing misleading drought assessments.

Bee pollen as functional food and environmental bioindicator: current evidence and future challenges

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Bee pollen (BP), a plant‐derived product collected by honey bees, is increasingly promoted as a functional food due to its content of proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids.

Ask the locals: application of fishers ecological knowledge to characterize use of a previously collapsed spawning ground by Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus)

FACETS
Reproduction is a key component of species life history, and understanding spawning habitat, location, and timing is essential for effective population monitoring, conservation, and management. When a spawning ground of a fish population collapses, often

Overview of the re‐evaluation of trace elements as nutritional feed additives in the European Union: characterization, safety, and efficacy

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract The re‐evaluation of feed additives in the European Union was outlined in the Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The primary objectives were to ensure safety and verify efficacy, as well as to update authorizations and phase out unsafe additives or those in which the industry expressed no interest.

Image‐based and biochemical multimodal phenotyping for explainable classification of chia (Salvia hispanica L.) genotypes

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study developed an explainable machine learning framework integrating morphological, color, and biochemical characteristics for classifying chia (Salvia hispanica L.) genotypes. A dataset was assembled from 1200 seed images spanning four genotypes, from which 17 morphological and color features were extracted.

Cereal–legume intercropping for climate‐smart livestock production: insights from oat–alfalfa intercropping

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Cereal–legume intercropping can improve forage productivity and quality at the same time as enhancing soil function and reducing environmental impacts, yet integrative evaluations under low‐input conditions are scarce. This study assessed oat (Avena sativa L.)–alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) intercropping for forage yield, nutritive ...

Understanding natural variation in milk lipids: why parity and lactation stage matter for nutritional value

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Bovine milk is a major dietary source of lipids whose fatty acid (FA) profile shapes its nutritional and technological quality, yet its natural variation is commonly described using fixed days‐in‐milk windows that ignore individual peak‐yield timing and parity‐specific metabolism.

Living on the edge: Habitat characteristics of northern myotis at the periphery of its distribution

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Northern myotis selected tall trees with minimal decay, in patches with other roosting options. In our study area, these trees occurred in narrow bands within an agricultural matrix, differing from contiguous forest at the core of the species' distribution. Nevertheless, bats selected the tallest trees in the densest patches available.

Landscape drivers of scaled quail occurrence across a broad spatiotemporal scale: implications for habitat management

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Combining large‐scale avian surveys with remote sensing products revealed landscape variables that likely limit scaled quail occurrence at the ecoregion scale in Texas. Promoting management practices that address ecoregion‐specific limiting factors may be key to averting further declines.
