Phosphorus sorption characteristics in the Sahel: Estimates from soils in Mali

AIMS Agriculture and Food, 2023
Crop yield in sub-Saharan Africa is often limited by low phosphorus fertility. Farmers in the region can apply phosphate rock, which should increase the plant-available phosphorus level, but this may be prone to sorption in acid soils of the Sahel.

Assessing the evolutionary distinctiveness of a highly threatened plant group: The urgency to preserve a unique lineage of evolution in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

Engineering compact Physalis peruviana (goldenberry) to promote its potential as a global crop

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) produces sweet, nutritionally rich berries, yet like many minor crops, is cultivated in limited geographical regions and has not been a focus of breeding programs for trait enhancement. Leveraging knowledge of plant architecture‐related traits from related species, we used CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated gene editing to generate a

Evolving resistance patterns in Tetranychus urticae and Bemisia tabaci in Greece

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Greek populations of T. urticae and B. tabaci exhibit evolving multi‐resistance, confirmed by bioassays and molecular markers, highlighting the urgent need for evidence‐based resistance monitoring in IPM. Abstract BACKGROUND Pesticide resistance in agricultural pests remains a major barrier to effective and sustainable crop protection.

Revisiting the Association of Pesticide Exposure and Parkinson's Disease: Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The association between pesticide exposure and Parkinson's disease (PD) is substantial, but heterogeneity in methodology and lack of categorization according to the type of exposure and pesticide classes in previous meta‐analyses impair the interpretation of data. This study aims to update evidence of the association between pesticide exposure

Global determinants of home range sizes in felids: Evidence of human disturbance impact

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study is the first to demonstrate the influence of anthropogenic factors and species richness in felids on home range size across the entire felid taxon. Felids are a taxon of major interest in conservation biology, and gaining a comprehensive view of their spatial ecology will help derive global conservation recommendations.
