Heterogeneity in Food Price Inflation Convergence Across the EU: Evidence From Club Dynamics and Structural Breaks

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines food price inflation rate convergence among EU27 Member States from 2005 to 2024, focusing on structural breaks, external shocks, and regional disparities. Using panel unit root tests and club convergence analysis, the findings reveal no overall convergence but identify multiple convergence clubs.

Design Optimization of Soft Fabric Pneumatic Actuators

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a systematic optimization framework for elongating and bending fabric‐based soft pneumatic actuators. After a preliminary design‐space reduction, the framework minimizes energy consumption under mechanical performance constraints by integrating validated finite element modeling with statistical surrogate models. Optimal designs were

Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...

Linking community structure and climate vulnerability in desert plant assemblages of southern California

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

Iron Deficiency in Seagrasses and Macroalgae in the Red Sea Is Unrelated to Latitude and Physiological Performance

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Iron can limit primary production in shallow marine systems, especially in tropical waters characterized by carbonated sediments, where iron is largely trapped in a non-available form.

Regulation and Planning in the Mediterranean Sea

, 2022
Due to the many anthropogenic as well as natural challenges (oligotrophy, heavy human pressure, high rate of biological invasions, exposure to geohazards, semi-enclosed sea with a very low turnover time) the Mediterranean Sea can be characterized as a diverse but fragile system with low physical inertia and limited ecological resilience.

Phylogenomic insights into the genus Tulipa (Liliaceae): Taxonomy, evolution, and biogeography

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Tulips are one of the best‐known geophytes, but their taxonomy remains convoluted and their evolutionary history poorly understood. Here, we used plastid genomes to identify some issues with current classification, understand the diversification history of the genus, and identify potential species linked to historical cultivation ...

Additional records of the little sleeper shark, Somniosus rostratus (Elasmobranchii: Squaliformes: Somniosidae), in Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria
This study investigates the distribution and morphometrics of the little sleeper shark, Somniosus rostratus (Risso, 1827), in the Mediterranean Sea. Ten sharks caught as bycatch between 2009 and 2019 in the northern sectors of the Strait of Sicily, the ...

Seasonal sea level extremes in the Mediterranean Sea and at the Atlantic European coasts [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2010
Hourly sea level data from tide gauges and a barotropic model are used to explore the spatial and temporal variability of sea level extremes in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic coasts of the Iberian peninsula on seasonal time scales.

Diagnosing the system: Mental health, necropolitical uncare, and the abolition of migration detention

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the psychological effects of migration detention in the European Union's Closed Controlled Access Center (CCAC) on Samos through an ecological lens. It explores a double normalization of suffering: the brutalization of necropolitical migration governance and the simultaneous understanding of resulting distress as an ...
