Yeast community composition impacts on tequila industry waste treatment for pollution control and waste-to-product synthesis

Frontiers in Chemical Engineering, 2022
The Tequila industry is a major producer of wastewater in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. Tequila vinasses (TV) are a residue from the distillation of fermented agave wort during tequila production. TV are difficult to treat due their high organic content,

White‐nose syndrome suitability of Mexican Sierra Madre Oriental karst to sustain Pseudogymnoascus destructans fungus

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract White‐nose syndrome (WNS), caused by the emerging fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans, has led to a steep decline in North American bat populations since the disease was first described in 2006. Although previously thought to only threaten bat populations in northern latitudes with prolonged hibernation in cool climates, recent ...

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1582-1605, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

On Reparative Science

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Through a radical re‐reading of Orlando Fals Borda's conceptualization of participatory action research (PAR), I argue that PAR is more adequately grounded within the broader Fals Bordian framing of ciencia popular, defined as science for, with, and propelled by social movements.

Measuring Growth Spillovers

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, Volume 88, Issue 2, Page 213-225, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We propose a multilevel econometric model with time‐varying spillover parameters that disentangle within‐country from between‐country growth spillovers. Parameter estimation is carried out by the method of maximum likelihood. The finite‐sample properties of the resulting estimates are validated through a Monte Carlo study.

Assessment of physical, biological, chemical, and normative defects in Agave tequilana Weber as operational criteria for raw material quality control in tequila production

Applied Food Research
Raw material quality at distillery intake is a critical control point in tequila production, yet the operational recording and use of agave defects during reception have been only partially systematized in the literature.

Synergistic Multi‐Layer Renewable Barrier Coatings on Porous Packaging Materials Using Enhanced Anionic Cellulose‐Based Biopolymers and Chitosan

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 2, 20 January 2026.
Duallayer coating, using a roll‐to‐roll method, of biopolymers on paper with improved gas barrier properties. ABSTRACT In this work, we examine ways to advance sustainability in material packaging by applying scalable, dual‐layer coating techniques for generating thin biopolymer barrier films on paper substrates.

Hummingbird Feeders Can Provide eDNA for Detection of Nectar‐Feeding Bats

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
This study monitors nectar‐feeding bats (Leptonycteris nivalis, Leptonycteris yerbabuenae, and Choeronycteris mexicana) through eDNA swabs of hummingbird feeders collected by citizen scientists. Using novel qPCR assays, we successfully detected L. yerbabuenae and C. mexicana in a grand majority of samples. Previously only known to occur in the U.S.

Beyond Supply and Demand: The Moral Economy of Price Formation in Slab City

Economic Anthropology, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This article investigates the unique economic practices of Slab City, California, an off‐grid community that rejects mainstream US values. Despite operating within the broader US economic system, Slab City residents have developed alternative forms of exchange, using cigarettes and cannabis alongside US dollars.
