Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a sodium alginate (SA) coating incorporating Eryngium campestre (zulang) essential oil (EO) nanoemulsion (EON) regarding the preservation characteristics of ostrich meat under cold storage condition. The primary constituents of the EO were germacrene D, α‐bisabolol, campestrolide, and salvial‐4(14)‐en‐

The island syndrome in plants on New Zealand's outlying islands: a review
New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 2300-2324, December 2025.ABSTRACT The island syndrome is defined as a suite of predictable and consistent differences between island and mainland organisms. In seed plants, much of what we know about the island syndrome comes from work in the Southwest Pacific, which is comprised of the three main islands of New Zealand and ten surrounding archipelagos.

Ancient DNA Reveals Late Pleistocene Existence of Ostriches in Indian Sub-Continent.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis of extinct ratite species is of considerable interest as it provides important insights into their origin, evolution, paleogeographical distribution and vicariant speciation in congruence with continental drift theory. In this

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1153-1175, December 2025.ABSTRACT International research on disturbed landscapes has shown that active erosion of soil‐free bare ground can maintain distinctive local geological features and biodiversity by preventing incursion of a robust vegetation cover. In this study, we have tested this approach by removing exotic vegetation and associated proto‐soil that had encroached ...
