American Journal of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Premise What maintains mixed mating is an evolutionary enigma. Cleistogamy—the production of both potentially outcrossing chasmogamous and obligately selfing cleistogamous flowers on the same individual plant—is an excellent system to study the costs of selfing.

Energy analysis of drying basil (Ocimum basilicum) leaves in an active greenhouse solar dryer
Journal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 46, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Abstract The need for better utilization of solar greenhouses during summer in the hot climate conditions of Mexico led to the development of the concept of active greenhouse solar dryers. The objective of this research was energy analysis of an active greenhouse solar dryer for basil leaves drying.

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2023., 2023 Abstract Dietary recommendations are developed from the best available scientific evidence on the effect of nutrients and food on health. These recommendations take into account that the effect of food depends not only on its nutritional content but also on the matrix in which is ingested, the alterations during the culinary process, the presence of ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Africa's protected areas (PAs) are the last stronghold of the continent's unique biodiversity, but they appear increasingly threatened by climate change, substantial human population growth, and land‐use change. Conservation planning is challenged by uncertainty about how strongly and where these drivers will interact over the next few decades.

Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 11, Page 2684-2700, November 2022., 2022 Our results provide important insights into the proximal mechanisms that operate during ontogeny and drive variation in mature plant size in annual herbs. Of the three traits considered (a), seed mass and duration of vegetative growth had the greatest influence on plant size at maturity (b).

Climate change adaptation in Central America: A review of the national policy efforts
Latin American Policy, Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 276-327, November 2022., 2022 Abstract The latest comparative studies of climate policies reinforce the fundamental importance of employing adaptation planning alongside national development strategies. While these studies are necessary to document and share the knowledge of the practices and experiences undertaken at the national level, documents are still scarce on regions of ...

The Plant Journal, Volume 112, Issue 4, Page 1014-1028, November 2022., 2022 SUMMARY Ammonium (NH4+)‐based fertilization efficiently mitigates the adverse effects of nitrogen fertilization on the environment. However, high concentrations of soil NH4+ provoke growth inhibition, partly caused by the reduction of cell enlargement and associated with modifications of cell composition, such as an increase of sugars and a decrease in

Flexible drought deciduousness in a neotropical understory herb
American Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 8, Page 1262-1272, August 2022., 2022 Progression of leaf loss and growth between wet seasons. Abstract Premise Adaptive divergence across environmental gradients is a key driver of speciation. Precipitation seasonality gradients are common in the tropics, yet drought adaptation is nearly unexplored in neotropical understory herbs. Here, we examined two recently diverged neotropical spiral

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 14, Issue 11, Page 2618-2634, November 2021., 2021 Abstract Iberian wild goats (Capra pyrenaica, also known as Iberian ibex, Spanish ibex, and Spanish wild goat) underwent strong genetic bottlenecks during the 19th and 20th centuries due to overhunting and habitat destruction. From the 1970s to 1990s, augmentation translocations were frequently carried out to restock Iberian wild goat populations (very

Review of Policy Research, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 529-554, September 2021., 2021 Abstract Carbon taxes are frequently advocated as a means of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, yet their political feasibility remains a challenge. To enhance their political appeal, carbon tax proponents have proposed revenue recycling as a means of alleviating public concern with this instrument's visible costs.
