Food quality profile of fermented cassava dough: A tool for the value chain upgrading

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Agbelima is a fermented cassava mash, which is then cooked into dough. The key quality attributes are color, odor, stretchability, and sour taste. To succeed in upgrading agbelima value chain, there is a need to determine the instrumental parameters that predict the quality of consumer‐preferred attributes of the final product. This

Coal Mining as a Driver of Land Use and Land Cover Change and Degradation: A Case in Moatize City, Mozambique

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

When a Week Is Not A Week: How Temporal Boundaries Shift Regulatory Focus and Consumer Preference

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Does consumer perception of a sales event change if it falls across a calendar boundary (e.g., next month) versus within the current month, holding objective time constant? We investigate this question in the context of Cyber Monday, the global shopping event occurring the Monday after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday.

Direct-sun versus sky-scan Pandora formaldehyde retrievals: implications for satellite validation and sampling representativeness in Tropical Southeast Asia [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques
Ground-based Pandora spectrometers are widely used for validating satellite formaldehyde (HCHO) retrievals, yet the roles of retrieval geometry and sampling representativeness remain poorly constrained in tropical environments.

Connecting the distribution and diversification of marine plants

Oikos, EarlyView.
Integration of the evolutionary history with distribution of extant species is necessary to explain present‐day diversity, particularly for ‘foundation' species, such as seagrasses, which create habitats of socioecological relevance. Here, we resolved if varying evolutionary history of seagrass families has imprinted the distribution ranges of extant ...

The Transition to Double‐Celled Circulations in Mock‐Walker Simulations

Geophysical Research Letters
Mock‐Walker simulations have the potential to play a key role in a tropical model hierarchy, bridging small‐scale Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium simulations and global models of tropical circulations.

Coexistence, crossover and extirpation in coalescent communities and ecotones

Oikos, EarlyView.
When two ecological communities come into contact, the strength of their mixing determines whether species coexist, extirpate, or extend their ranges. We present analytical formulas and simulations describing these transitions. Specifically, we derive abundance shifts upon community coalescence, identify the critical mixing strength leading to first ...

Stronger and prolonged El Niño-Southern Oscillation in the Early Eocene warmth

Nature Communications
The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) during the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum (EECO, 56–48 million years ago) is investigated using a multi-model ensemble of deep-time climate simulations. We reveal that ENSO sea surface temperature variability during

Multitrophic alpha and beta diversity of lake plankton across Canada

Oikos, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic environmental changes impact freshwater biodiversity globally. While biodiversity assessments in freshwater environments have traditionally focused on individual groups of organisms or trophic levels, considering patterns of ‘multitrophic biodiversity' across the food web provides a more comprehensive view of anthropogenic impacts and ...

Population recovery of an endangered macaw enhances long‐distance seed dispersal via stomatochory

Oikos, EarlyView.
Seed dispersal by large, mobile vertebrates plays a key role in shaping plant spatial dynamics and community structure. However, how variation in animal population size influences the magnitude and spatial scale of seed dispersal remains poorly understood.
