Multivariate Analysis of Hematological Stress Biomarkers and Welfare Domains in Organic and Intensive Pig Farming in Italy: A Pilot Study

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Intensive or organic farming systems may expose pigs to management or environmental challenges. Our preliminary results concluded that organic farming might enhance adaptive immune function, showing that improvements in welfare can translate into measurable immunological benefits, based on the correlation between welfare assessment and physiological ...

Epidemiological Survey and Genomic Insights Into Ostreid Herpesvirus 1 Transmission in the Blood Clam Anadara broughtonii in China (2019–2025)

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Seven‐year surveillance reveals a cold‐adapted OsHV‐1 lineage in blood clams, with disease onset at 13°C—3–5°C lower than in oysters—and identifies asymptomatic carriers and facility effluent as key transmission routes. ABSTRACT Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV‐1) poses a major threat to bivalve aquaculture, but its impact on blood clams (Anadara ...

Landscape Genomic Analyses Reveal Molecular Mechanisms of Local Environmental Adaptation in Asian‐ and European‐Origin Pig Groups

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
By analyzing genomic data from 1415 Asian and European pigs, we identified 57 shared causal SNPs driving parallel climate adaptation. Integration with PigGTEx resource colocalization revealed that candidate genes CRYAB, DISC1, and TCP11 regulate adaptive traits across tissues.

Leveraging Big Multitemporal Multisource Satellite Data and Artificial Intelligence for the Detection of Complex and Invisible Features: The Case of Extensive Irrigation Mapping

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The detection of buried or obscured archaeological features remains a central challenge in landscape archaeology, particularly in the irrigated floodplains of Mesopotamia where levees and canals formed the basis of complex agrarian systems. This study presents a deep learning–based approach for the large‐scale, automated detection of ancient ...

The potential value of seasonal climate forecasts for beef grazing enterprises in the Charters Towers region

open access: yes, 2018
While research indicates that seasonal climate forecasts (SCFs) have the potential to improve productivity and profitability in agricultural industries, we also understand that there are a range of factors that currently prevent their widespread use in ...

A system dynamics‐based framework for bioenergy planning in sub‐Saharan Africa: integrating circular bioeconomy and Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Energy scarcity remains a persistent challenge in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), where limited access to reliable, affordable, and clean energy constrains socioeconomic development. Biomass resources, including agricultural residues, forest waste, and waste from other biological sources, are widely available, but their use for modern energy ...

Twenty years of inhaler therapy: A nationwide drug utilization study

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This study aimed to map nationwide trends and prescribing patterns in inhaler use from 2004 to 2023. In light of evolving clinical guidelines and attention to the environmental impact of inhalers within recent years, we also examined variation in prescribing behaviour and patient‐level treatment choices. Methods Using nationwide health registries,

Skill and usefulness of regional seasonal forecasts for adoption to climate change for agricultural production in Tanzania

open access: yes, 2014
The world climate is changing and sub-Saharan Africa experiences it through climate variability. Since the majority of people in the region depend on agriculture for their livelihood, the predictability of rainfall is very critical in reducing their ...

Ant Diversity of the Xisha Islands: Community Structure, Exotic Species Colonization, and Ecological Functions in a Tropical Coral Archipelago

open access: yesBiological Diversity, EarlyView.
The first inventory of ants from the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea was compiled, revealing 21 species: 70% native and 30% exotic. Anthropogenic disturbance primarily drove exotic colonization, whereas island area showed weak positive effects on species richness. Most ants were omnivorous, with key mutualistic and seed‐dispersal roles.
