Pesticide regulatory homogeneity and firms' import decisions: Evidence from EU‐Swiss agri‐food trade

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Country‐specific variations in food standards often reflect national regulatory traditions, but they also disrupt trade by increasing associated costs and limiting market access. Aligning such standards between countries should reduce or eliminate the additional market access costs and enhance trade.

Potential of alternative control of leaf‐cutting ants using essential oils: A systematic review

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Abstract Leaf‐cutting ants (LCAs) are abundant and cause considerable damage to agricultural and forest crops in the Neotropical region and are commonly controlled using sulfluramid‐based ant baits. However, this active ingredient is a precursor of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), a persistent, human‐made pollutant that poses serious environmental

System level network data and models attack cancer drug resistance

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Drug resistance is responsible for >90% of cancer related deaths. Cancer drug resistance is a system level network phenomenon covering the entire cell. Small‐scale interactomes and signalling network models of drug resistance guide directed drug development.

GM Crops and the Jevons Paradox: Induced Innovation, Systemic Effects and Net Pesticide Increases From Pesticide‐Decreasing Crops

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Jevons paradox describes how increased efficiency in the use of a resource can paradoxically increase rather than reduce its overall consumption. In agricultural systems, efficiency is confounded by a broad range of economic, ecological, social and evolutionary factors. Agriculture is a particularly elastic kind of production: Efficiencies

Whole‐Genome Sequencing and Phenotyping Reveal Specific Adaptations of Lachancea thermotolerans to the Winemaking Environment

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adaptation to the environment plays an essential role in yeast evolution as a consequence of selective pressures. Lachancea thermotolerans, a yeast related to fermentation and one of the current trends in wine technology research, has undergone an anthropisation process, leading to a notable genomic and phenomic differentiation.
