Insect‐resistant soybean genotypes accumulate rutin and its O‐methylated derivative narcissin, a more potent flavonol targeting Anticarsia gemmatalis digestive and detoxification enzymes and reducing larval survival

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Soybean underpins Brazil's agricultural, yet its sustainability is threatened by lepidopteran pests such as Anticarsia gemmatalis. Although insect‐resistant cultivars have long been associated with the constitutive accumulation of quercetin‐derived flavonols, the biochemical mechanisms underlying this resistance remain poorly ...

Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry: Fundamental Principles, Diverse Applications, and the Latest Technological Frontiers

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The review examines the evolution of chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CI‐MS), a technique developed in 1966 by Field and Munson. CI is a soft‐ionization method that produces more intense molecular ions with less fragmentation than electron ionization (EI).

Understanding smallholder decision‐making to increase farm tree diversity: Enablers and barriers for forest landscape restoration in Western Kenya

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Integrating diverse trees and shrubs (hereafter ‘trees’) in agricultural landscapes has emerged as a crucial nature‐based solution to the triple challenge of biodiversity loss, climate change and food security. The potential benefits of on‐farm trees for both people and nature, however, are often constrained by inadequate consideration of ...

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 ...

Sustainable plant protection for increased food security in a changing climate [PDF]

, 2008
The global climate is changing. Rising temperatures in temperate regions are making headlines, but there are a host of changes that may have even greater impact on a global scale, particularly in regions where food security is already delicately ...

Using a social‐ecological macrosystems framework to understand how human activities alter ecological synchrony

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

The effect of traditional handling, processing and storage methods on the quality of dried fish in small scale fisheries in Nigeria [PDF]

, 1999
Most of the fish marketed throughout Nigeria are in either smoked or dried form. The technological requirement for other forms of preservation like chilling and freezing cannot be afforded by the small scale fisher folk.

The paradox of mosquito net fishing: Complex socio‐ecological trade‐offs in southwestern Madagascar

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Small‐scale fisheries are vital for the livelihoods, nutrition and well‐being of millions of people in coastal regions. In many parts of the Global South, rising poverty, limited alternatives and declining resources have driven the spread of mosquito net fishing (MNF), a non‐selective practice using repurposed health‐distributed nets.
