The potential effect of megafaunal extinctions on modern conservation of horse chestnut Aesculus hippocastanum

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1563-1566, September 2026.
Many plant species worldwide are struggling to regenerate due to the ongoing effects of climate change. These effects appear to be further exacerbated by the loss of keystone megafauna, which were important seed dispersers. By identifying the traits commonly seen in seeds spread by modern elephants, it is possible to predict which species likely ...

Glomus iranicum var. Tenuihypharum as a Biofertilizer Modulates Soil Microbial Community Composition and Enhances Soil Carbon Dynamics in Nectarine Cultivation

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of biofertilization strategies based on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represents a promising approach to enhance crop productivity and soil health while reducing the environmental footprint of conventional fertilization. This study evaluated the effects of Glomus iranicum var.

Upcycling Almond Byproducts: A Technoeconomic and Environmental Assessment of Almond Hull Hydrolysate

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
This study presents the first integrated technoeconomic analysis (TEA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) of converting almond hulls—a sugar‐rich agricultural byproduct—into almond hull hydrolysate (AHH), a low‐cost and environmentally favorable fermentation growth medium.

A high‐quality haplotype‐resolved genome of Pyrus calleryana provides insights into adaptive gene families

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana) is a deciduous species native to East Asia with notable ornamental and ecological value, but the genomic resources for this species remain limited. Here, we report the first haplotype‐resolved, chromosome‐scale genome of P. calleryana.

Agricultural By‐Products as Secondary Risk Matrices: Hazard Occurrence, Contaminant Fate, Mitigation Strategies, and Regulatory Considerations in Food Systems

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural by‐products are increasingly valorized as food ingredients within circular food systems. However, their safety cannot be directly inferred from their corresponding primary commodities. Moreover, agricultural by‐products serve as secondary risk matrices by acting as reservoirs or accumulation points for microbiological hazards ...

A High‐Resolution Method Using Individual Females to Assess the Competitiveness of Sterile Drosophila suzukii Males Under Semi‐Controlled Conditions

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1011-1021, September 2026.
A high‐resolution, novel method to assess the sexual competitiveness of sterile mass‐reared Drosophila suzukii males is calibrated and illustrated using different laboratory and wild type strains. Isolation of individual females after semi‐controlled cage competition tests and subsequent observation of their progeny showed that sterile males from two ...

Climate and Spatially Heterogeneous Abiotic Site Constraints Shape Temperate Tree Species Abundance at Northern Range Limits

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Northern populations of temperate tree species evolve under climatic, topographic and edaphic conditions that approach the limits of their ecological tolerance. However, the environmental constraints acting on species abundance are not spatially uniform, and their relative importance can shift markedly from core to northern populations. We
