Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil‐related issues is limited. To highlight soil as a key resource and fascinating study system, we initiated a citizen science project together with 1000 participants investigating soil health across Switzerland using buried cotton underpants.

Needle in a haystack: Holocene history of European larch in Central Europe revisited

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Defining nativity of species is crucial for their management. However, this is a complex task, especially for species that have been used and spread by humans for a long time. We combined paleoecological records with extensive genetic data to investigate the Holocene history of European larch—a common and economically important tree species in Central ...

Transcriptomic resources and functional validation of RNAi in the cabbage seedpod weevil, Ceutorhynchus obstrictus

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Transcriptome sequencing of Ceutorhynchus obstrictus revealed RNA interference (RNAi) targets; double‐stranded RNA microinjection reduced transcript levels and increased mortality, with αCOP and Rop showing strongest lethal effects, indicating promising RNAi‐based pest control candidates.

The first report of M918L (super‐kdr) and L932F voltage‐gated sodium channel mutations in the English grain aphid (Sitobion avenae)

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The study has identified mutations in the voltage gated sodium channel of the English grain aphid (Sitobion avenae) at M918 and L932, which have not been previously reported in this species. Abstract BACKGROUND The grain aphid, Sitobion avenae Fabricius (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is a vector of yellow dwarf viruses and an important pest of cereals.

What Is the Role of Personas in Environmental Sustainability Studies? A Systematic Review of 36 Research Articles

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT User personas are important tools for user understanding in human‐computer interaction (HCI), and understanding how personas contribute to environmental sustainability across research and practice contexts is increasingly important. Our systematic review of 36 articles on persona research in environmental sustainability reveals four key ...

Can Common Recycling Targets Deliver Convergence? Evidence From EU Municipal Waste Recycling, 2004–2023

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTThe EU Waste Framework Directive sets common municipal waste recycling targets for all Member States, yet large cross‐country gaps persist. This paper examines whether EU‐27 recycling rates converged over 2004–2023, whether convergence stalled after 2018, and which factors shaped catch‐up.

Comparison of genomic SSR and EST-SSR markers for estimating genetic diversity in cucumber

open access: yes, 2011
Thirteen genomic microsatellite (gSSR) and sixteen expressed sequence tag (EST)-SSR (eSSR) markers were compared to estimate genetic diversity among 29 cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) accessions.

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.
