Using art history to explore society's changing connections with agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Food insecurity is a looming challenge that especially affects those least fortunate. Consumer food choices have a substantial impact on the sustainability of current food systems. Here, we use art as a lens through which to consider our contemporary and historical relationship to one of the world's most crucial crops, the potato, in the context of the

Plant responses to iron nutrition with emphasis on the underutilized crop tef (Eragrostis tef): A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Iron (Fe) deficiency limits the physical health, cognitive development, and economic output of billions of people globally, especially children and productive‐age women. Tef is an underutilized and stress‐resilient crop, which is becoming popular for its grains containing high bioavailable Fe and has the potential to mitigate Fe deficiency.

Feeding Practices and Welfare of Zoo‐Housed Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) on a Global Scale

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
We collected feeding and stereotypy information on 702 giraffes from 146 zoos from all over the world. Less appropriate diets were linked to more oral stereotypies. ABSTRACT Since giraffe feeding practices have only been reported for European and US facilities, this study aimed to achieve a comprehensive overview of the current giraffe feeding ...

Abstract This article explores the ‘great frost’ of 1709 and its impact on economic life in Britain, challenging a popular view that, based on gross domestic product (GDP) estimates, it was catastrophic. It shows that the annual GDP figures for the period have such wide error margins that they cannot establish the scale of the disruption; that the ...

Effect of particle size variation of stabilized wheat germ on dough processing characteristics and steamed bread quality

Food Chemistry: X
Wheat germ is a by-product of wheat flour milling and processing, and is valued for being the nutrient-rich center of wheat grains. In this study, hot air-stabilized wheat germ with five different particle sizes (coarse, medium, fine, ultrafine, and very

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia). Three excavation seasons at this site (2021–2023) have uncovered a massive building constructed in the late third or early fourth cent.

Frequency and Severity of Allergic Reactions to Non‐Mandatory Labelled Allergenic Foods—Data From Two Large European Cohorts

Allergy, EarlyView.
In two large European cohorts, 589 reactions to non‐mandatory labelled plant‐based foods were identified with sunflower seed, pine nut, pea and lentil as the most frequent triggers. Reaction severity was not different between mandatory and non‐mandatory labelled allergenic foods. Their frequency and rising trends (e.g., fenugreek, pumpkin seed) support
