Cassava production systems optimized for double output: Seed‐cuttings and root yields

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a strategic crop for food security but continues to face major challenges related to low root yields and the lack of optimized systems for producing high‐quality seed‐cuttings. This study evaluated the effects of different planting densities, varieties, and agrochemical‐based seed‐cutting treatments ...

Frost Tolerance Increases With Plant Height Among Co‐Occurring Alpine Species in the Central Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Frost tolerance (LT50) varies greatly among species coexisting in an alpine community. Taller plants are more frost‐tolerant, reversing the expected intra‐community pattern. Evidence for a frost survival trade‐off: avoidance in short plants vs. tolerance in tall plants.

Effects of Alternative Prey Density on Cannibalism in Adult Female Neoseiulus californicus

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Using two strains of N. californicus—TU (reared long‐term on T. urticae) and OB (reared long‐term on O. bakeri)—this study demonstrated that although alternative prey density had no significant effect on cannibalism, both rearing strain and conspecific life stage significantly influenced cannibalistic behavior, with a significant interaction between ...

Traits Explain Canopy Tree Occurrence Along Regional Environmental Gradients: A Subset Combine to Be Useful

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our paper addresses the problem of “How to predict where a tree can be found from its traits?” We show that wood density, bark thickness, maximum height and seed mass combine for a useful model of tree distributions. ABSTRACT Trait‐Species Distribution Models (trait‐SDM) help to understand the importance of plant strategies to niches, assess their ...

Pastinaca sativa L.: Nutritional Composition, Phytochemistry, and Pharmacological Properties Supporting Its Potential as a Functional Food and Therapeutic Agent

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Food‐grade processing of Pastinaca sativa (parsnip) converts a nutrient‐rich plant matrix (dietary fiber, fructans, phenolics) through washing/slicing/enzymatic treatment and ingredient preparation into functional food ingredients, including fiber concentrates, antioxidant‐rich fractions, and parsnip powders/extracts.
