Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 499-515, March 2026.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

Spice It Up: The Impact of Spiciness and Arousal on Cultured Meat Consumption

International Journal of Consumer Studies, Volume 50, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Cultured meat is an emerging, sustainable protein source; however, it falls short in several aspects, including perceived naturalness, nutritional value, and sensory appeal. Building upon the theory of benign masochism, the research proposes that the sensory imagery of spicy flavour can heighten emotional arousal and, in turn, drive ...

Nutritional Composition and Functional Potential of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Landraces Indigenous to the Gamo Zone of Ethiopia

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Significant morphological, biochemical, and nutritional variability was observed among groundnut landraces, highlighting rich genetic diversity and functional potential. Certain accessions, particularly from Boreda, showed superior protein, fat, and phenolic content with strong antioxidant activity.

Are there clear benefits from diversification of land use: a review and preliminary meta‐analysis?

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 2060-2081, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Diversified farming systems are often considered more resilient and environmentally sustainable than monocultures. However, their performance on key environmental and economic outcomes remains poorly defined across different contexts. We reviewed the literature and examined data from 277 sites, primarily in New Zealand, regarding the merits of
