Past, present and future of local crop evolution

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

From Nominalisation to Passive in Old Tibetan: Reconstructing Grammatical Meaning in an Extinct Language1

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract Based on an analysis of the Old Literary Tibetan corpus—a corpus of the oldest documented Tibetic language—the present study provides evidence that literary Tibetan v3 verb stems (commonly termed ‘future’) initially encoded passive voice. New arguments put forward in this article range from Trans‐Himalayan nominal morphology to early Tibetan ...

The impact of short‐term flooding on soil microbial communities, soil nitrogen and maize productivity in clay loam soils of Ohio, United States

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
A short‐term flood, implemented in a field experiment with sprinkler irrigation in maize production systems, increased soil moisture levels and reduced autoclaved citrate extractable protein, an indicator of soil biological health that reflects organically bound soil nitrogen, and also corresponded to greater differential abundance of soil bacterial ...

Between famine and freedom: Food prices during the Indonesian War of Independence, 1945–9

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper investigates how the Indonesian War of Independence (1945‒9) influenced staple food prices, and how fluctuations in those prices, in turn, shaped the trajectory and dynamics of the conflict. We compiled a dataset comprising more than 8600 prices for staple foods covering the entire Indonesian archipelago from 1939‒49, allowing us to

Evaluating Sawdust as a Bulking Agent to Enhance Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Hermetia illucens) Performance and Survival in Potato Peels

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rearing of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) offers a sustainable approach for producing high‐protein larvae for animal feed, contributing to waste reduction and nutrient recovery. While BSFL‐rearing is well studied, the role of non‐nutritive bulking agents such as sawdust remains unclear. Sawdust was added on top of the base substrate at 0%
