Understanding Plant Parasitism: Hydnora Africana and European Scientific Practice in the Early Nineteenth Century**

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
This article will analyze the uncertainties around collecting and classifying Hydnora africana in the first half of the nineteenth century. Emerging from the distinctive dryland ecologies of South Africa, Hydnora was interpreted as strange and cryptic by Europeans primarily because it is a root parasite—a complex floral trait that was little understood.

Ferritin as a Nanoparticle Scaffold for Plant‐Produced Next‐Generation Subunit Vaccines

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Protein nanoparticles offer an innovative approach to next‐generation subunit vaccine development by displaying antigenic sequences on the nanoparticle surface. Compared to traditional subunit vaccines, protein nanoparticle vaccines often show improved interaction with the immune system due to their particulate size and repetitive epitope ...

Can public-domain datasets be leveraged to identify factors associated with the occurrence of African swine fever in europe?

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica
Background African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious and deadly viral disease affecting domestic pigs and wild boars. This study uses public domain datasets to identify the association between (a)biotic variables and occurrences of ASF in domestic

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Utterance evolution: the road to generative, combinatorial communicators

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Language has long been considered uniquely complex in the animal kingdom; however, animal research over the last decade has begun to challenge some long‐standing premises about exactly which language capacities are uniquely human. The task of resolving why and how complex communication systems evolve, particularly human language, has ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

The Impact of Sustainability Labelling on Consumers' Evaluation and Choice of Food Products: A Systematic Literature Review

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The last five years of research on sustainability labelling, reported in 175 journal articles, documents its effectiveness in increasing consumer choices of more sustainable food products. Some sustainability labels come out as stronger than others and their impact varies across products, countries, and individual consumers, depending on label
