Food plant diversity in a rapidly changing world

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Diversity in food plants is essential to human and planetary health. On farms, in diets, and in many other areas of food systems, this diversity has undergone enormous change globally, including significant decline. We describe major trends in how food plant diversity has been changing, note the responses from conservation communities, highlight gaps ...

Efficacy of deterrents in minimizing nontarget species consumption of bait used for attracting wild pigs (Sus scrofa)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Evaluated repellents were effective at deterring white‐tailed deer from consuming wild pig bait piles without deterring wild pig bait consumption, although the deterrents were not effective for other nontarget wildlife. Abstract BACKGROUND Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are an invasive species that cause environmental and agricultural damage.

Cross‐Linking Mass Spectrometry of the Antimicrobial Peptides Magainin 2 and PGLa Reveals Heterodimerization in Micellar Medium

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rationale In this study, we applied cross‐linking mass spectrometry (XL‐MS) to characterize the oligomeric states of a PGLa/magainin 2 mixture and gain insight into the heterodimerization previously suggested in the literature. Both peptides have shown a synergistic enhancement of activity when tested in antimicrobial assays; however, the ...

Reliability of Manual Counting for Thermal Census of Bats Within Human‐Made Structures

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Bats have a critical role in ecosystems worldwide, but monitoring their populations remains challenging, particularly in complex roosts within human‐made structures. We examined the reliability of manual bat counts from thermal infrared video, a method widely used to estimate populations and evaluate computer vision censusing approaches.

Repurposing Bird‐Based Acoustic Models for Amphibian Surveys: Strengths and Limitations in Real‐World Deployments

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
In this study, we developed AnuraSearch, an open‐source classifier for 11 Ukrainian amphibian species, by repurposing the avian BirdNET algorithm via transfer learning to process over 18,000 h of autonomous acoustic recordings. Although the model demonstrated high precision and successfully reconstructed detailed seasonal and diel vocal activity ...

Achieve Sustainability by Easing Population to 4 Billion by 2200

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The past century of massive increases in human population and resource use has seen many undesirable environmental effects, ranging from biodiversity loss to climate change. But a research gap exists, as the ultimate causes are often not described with precision or mentioned at all.

Cultivating Sustainability: How Modern Food Practices Shape Pro‐Environmental Motivation Through Food–Nature Associations

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food practices have evolved alongside industrialization and urbanization. Compared to earlier generations, modern individuals grow and cook food less often and consume more processed products, weakening awareness of food's natural origins. Three studies examined explanatory pathways linking food practices to pro‐environmentalism through the ...

Exploring the Sustainability Landscape of Nature‐Based Solutions in Food Systems

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NbS) offer a pathway toward more resilient food systems. Although previous studies analysed various sustainability benefits of integrating NbS within food systems, the field remains fragmented, with a significant gap in understanding development patterns, emerging research trends at the intersection of NbS, food systems,

How Do Governance Arrangements Shape Community Empowerment in Rural Ecotourism? Evidence From Wuyuan, China

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how governance arrangements shape community empowerment in rural ecotourism in China. Drawing on the six dimensions of the community empowerment framework (CEF), the study analyses qualitative data from semi‐structured interviews with 30 villagers across four ecotourism‐oriented cases in Wuyuan.
