Soil Microbial Diversity and Network Organization Respond to Land Use and Agricultural Inputs Worldwide

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Based on a global analysis of 1921 soil samples, we show that agricultural management acts as a powerful ecological filter reshaping microbial communities. Land use and inputs—pesticides and fertilizers—drive a functional shift toward opportunistic pathogens and fragmented, less connected microbial networks, potentially compromising soil ecosystem ...

Integration of selective sweeps across the sheep genome: understanding the relationship between production and adaptation traits

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution
Background Livestock populations are under constant selective pressure for higher productivity levels for different selective purposes. This pressure results in the selection of animals with unique adaptive and production traits.

Causal inference for the covariance between breeding values under identity disequilibrium

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2022
Background The covariance matrix of breeding values is at the heart of prediction methods. Prediction of breeding values can be formulated using either an “observed” or a theoretical covariance matrix, and a major argument for choosing one or the other ...

Evaluation of sunn hemp performance and nutritive value in Maine, USA

open access: yesGrassland Research, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 112-118, June 2026.
Abstract Background Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L. and Crotalaria ochroleuca G. Don) was evaluated as a warm‐season legume to mitigate the “summer slump” in Maine's forage production caused by heat and moisture deficit stress. Methods This study compared three cultivars: “Crescent Sunn,” “Loei,” and “Red Mini,” at 60 and 90 days after seeding over the

Participatory fuzzy cognitive modelling reveals leverage points for agroecological adoption in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1817-1831, June 2026.
Abstract Global institutions are increasingly calling for an agroecological transition of our food systems to promote sustainable farmer livelihoods, safeguard agrobiodiversity and foster socio‐ecological resilience to a changing climate. Yet adoption remains limited, and there is a paucity of research examining how local conditions enable and ...

The importance of the fatty acids in breast milk and in lacteal formulae.

open access: yesGrasas y Aceites, 2012
The best choice for feeding the newborn child is breast milk, and when it is not possible to breastfeed a baby, the breast milk is replaced by lacteal formula, which is why numerous studies focus their attention on the analysis of the diverse components ...

Epistemic opacity in Antarctic science: Unknowing the last frontier

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1641-1647, June 2026.
Abstract Antarctica is facing intensifying pressures from climate change, industrial fishing, tourism and renewed geopolitical competition, even as scientific activity on the continent reaches unprecedented levels. We argue that this proliferation of research often fails to deliver the integrated, policy‐relevant knowledge needed for precautionary ...

Varied motivations for secondary forest reclearing among landholders make forest persistence challenging

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1943-1956, June 2026.
Abstract Remote sensing studies show that ephemeral forest regeneration is widespread in the tropics, limiting the climate and biodiversity benefits from net increases in forest cover. Socioeconomic, biophysical and landscape variables can help explain the spatial distribution of reforestation reversals.
