Agricultural activities and risk of central nervous system tumors among French farm managers: Results from the TRACTOR project. [PDF]
Int J Cancer, 2022 What's new? Cancers of the central nervous system (CNS) are linked to certain agricultural activities, including animal farming and pesticide use. Whether these agricultural activities have a role in CNS cancer etiology, however, remains uncertain.

Biogeographical Distribution of River Microbial Communities in Atlantic Catchments. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepWe discovered different factors affecting river microbial communities (RMC) diversity and composition across Atlantic catchments in Europe. Prokaryote diversity was mainly influenced by topography and geology, while eukaryotic groups were driven by land use and cover.

Wheat and faba bean intercropping and cultivar impacts on morphology, disease, and yield
Agronomy Journal, Volume 115, Issue 6, Page 3010-3024, November/December 2023., 2023 Abstract Modern agriculture relies heavily on synthetic fertilizer and pesticide inputs. Pressure is increasing to find alternatives that reduce such inputs. In comparison to monocultures, intercropping can reduce plant diseases and increase yield, thereby reducing inputs and maximizing land use efficiency.

Ecological Research, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 795-808, November 2023., 2023 This study examined the species of local woods used in 11 farmhouses constructed between 1845 and 1940 in Tadami, a snowy area in northeastern Japan, and interviewed residents about their use of forest resources. The study found that cedar and white pine were the most commonly used species for essential structural parts, and beech was used for roof ...

International Journal of Food Science &Technology, Volume 58, Issue 10, Page 5591-5601, October 2023., 2023 Research process and key insights of the study. Summary This study examined three collaborative scenarios for the implementation of a high‐level aseptic filling machine in small‐scale food processing for improved food safety in short food supply chains. A two‐stage research design was implemented, based on an exploration and evaluation phase.

Nanohaloarchaea as beneficiaries of xylan degradation by haloarchaea
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 1803-1822, September 2023., 2023 Using samples of natural evaporitic brines and anthropogenic solar salterns, we describe genome‐inferred trophic relations in two extremely halophilic xylan‐degrading three‐member consortia. We succeeded in genome assembly and closure for all members of both xylan‐degrading cultures and elucidated the respective food chains within these consortia.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023 We studied 11 cool‐water adapted freshwater fish populations in communities dominated by cold‐water adapted species to investigate changes in the relative importance of cool‐water fish during the last 30 years of rapid warming in high latitude lakes.

Food and Energy Security, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2023., 2023 A method to estimate resource use by crop systems to meet food needs is proposed. PLATE is a proxy of the per capita intake of energy‐ and nutrient‐rich vegetables. Water, energy, and area use of two urban systems (open field and plant factories with artificial lighting) are compared. The method can support decisions at farm level and in urban‐regional

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 427-438, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Density dependence is likely to act as a regulatory mechanism in fish stocks that are recovering from overfishing. In general, density dependence in fish stocks is assumed to only occur in reproduction and early life stages and is therefore usually modelled as a stock‐recruitment relationship.

The FEBS Journal, Volume 289, Issue 21, Page 6714-6730, November 2022., 2022 We present a comprehensive biochemical and structural study of a family VIII ester hydrolase with a broad and unusual substrate profile, including acyltransferase activities. A wide catalytic cavity accepts an ample set of different esters, some being relevant to plastic and mycotoxin degradation.
