Seeds of Opuntia spp. as a novel high potential by-product: phytochemical characterization and antioxidant activity [PDF]

, 2015
Most of the nearly 1500 species in Opuntia genus contain health-promoting components. These species are able to grow under adverse conditions, not suitable for other fruits/vegetables.

Edible Biopolymer Coatings for Postharvest Preservation in Warm‐Chain Horticultural Supply Chain: Mechanisms, Materials, Design Strategies, and Future Directions

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Fresh fruit and vegetable postharvest losses reach 30%–50% between harvest and consumption, concentrated in low‐ and middle‐income countries where warm‐chain supply chains (20°C–35°C, 55%–85% relative humidity, intermittent handling) replace the refrigerated cold chains conventional technology assumes.

Sensory characterization of nopalitos (Opuntia spp.)

Food Research International, 2006
Nopalitos (edible young cladodes of flat-stemmed spiny cacti mainly of the Opuntia genus used as vegetables) with high commercial value were sensory studied by quantitative descriptive analysis method. A new descriptive and discriminating language and their standard references were developed in a 20 1/2 panel-hours.

Retrospective image analysis for long‐term demography using Google Earth imagery

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 5, Page 816-831, October 2026.
We demonstrate that high‐resolution Google Earth imagery, combined with minimal field validation, enables retrospective tracking of individual invasive plants. The image shows one of the monitored individuals of Opuntia sp. in Greece. Our approach reveals long‐term demographic patterns, recruitment dynamics, and spatial expansion without continuous ...

Monitoring Natura 2000 habitats to support Opuntia stricta containment on Capraia Island (Tuscan Archipelago, Italy) [PDF]

Vegetation Ecology and Diversity
Invasive alien species are a major threat to biodiversity, prompting management actions. Here, we present the first two years of monitoring Natura 2000 habitats on Capraia Island (Tuscan Archipelago, Italy), in relation to control measures for the ...

Prioritizing site groups for intrinsic biodiversity assets using complementarity and not just rarity

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
Conservation practitioners rightfully focus on at‐risk species when valuing biodiversity assets and prioritizing spatial units. We compared and combined numbers of at‐risk species with four other community metrics using surveys of vascular plants at wetlands in a preserve network in Illinois, USA.

Preventing Invasive Non‐Native Species: A Horizon Scanning for the Canary Islands

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Oceanic islands host exceptional biodiversity and endemism but are highly vulnerable to biological invasions. We aimed to identify non‐native species with high potential to invade the Canary Islands within the next decade and to prioritise them based on their environmental and socioeconomic risks.

A hierarchical unmanned aerial system–light detection and ranging–satellite learning framework for scaling heterogeneous vegetation cover mapping in rangelands

Grassland Research, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 245-269, September 2026.
This study shows how drones, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and satellites can be combined to map vegetation in rangelands more effectively. Drone imagery captures fine‐scale plant details, LiDAR adds information about vegetation structure and height, and satellite data allow the mapping approach to be expanded across larger areas.
