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).

On the record of Coronula diadema (Cirripedia: Coronulidae) in Chilean waters
GayanaThe barnacle genus Coronula Lamarck, 1802 (Cirripedia: Coronulidae) includes two extant species: Coronula diadema (Linnaeus, 1767), and Coronula reginae Darwin, 1854. These rather large, and highly specialized barnacles, live exclusively attached to the

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.We developed an invasion risk index framework that integrates socioeconomic and environmental data using an entropy‐weighting method. The case study highlights the need for region‐specific biosecurity measures for Chilo suppressalis. Abstract BACKGROUND Biological invasion risk is a multifaceted concept that, according to the Food and Agriculture ...

Westerly anomalies forced by off-equatorial warming prevent the La Niña formation in 2024
Environmental Research CommunicationsOf the five strong El Niño since 1980, only recent 2023/24 event failed to transition into La Niña, whose distinctive evolution poses a significant challenge to 2024 El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) prediction and is the core focus of this study.

Microphysics and interactions of aerosols and fog on the northwest Atlantic Ocean
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.In the Grand Banks, aerosol size distributions were bimodal, aerosol and fog droplet concentrations were low, and fogs were shorter (<12 hours). In contrast, near Sable Island, aerosol size distributions had a single broad mode that was likely influenced by continental emissions, corresponding with higher aerosol and droplet concentrations as well as ...

How consistently do ensemble prediction systems represent the growth of atmospheric uncertainty?
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Spread‐based diagnostics calculated for 12 ensemble prediction systems are compared to understand the consistency with which they represent atmospheric uncertainty growth. Good correlation between all these systems is found in the extratropics for a lead time range from 48 hr to between 96 hr and 192 hr.
