ABSTRACT The influence of agrochemical firms on testing and risk assessment standards constitutes a central yet understudied dimension of the political economy of agrochemicals and the formation of a corporate‐dominated global pesticide regime. How leading R&D firms—formally posi...

Strict phonics instruction outperforms mixed phonics: Evidence from a large-scale study
Background Learning to read is a foundational milestone in formal education, and a large body of research supports the effectiveness of systematic phonics instruction in early literacy development. However, much less is known about whether different implementations of phonics ins...

Abstract Background Selective breeding in mass-reared insects has progressed rapidly in recent years, and the black soldier fly ( Hermetia illucens L. - Diptera: Stratiomyidae), the most widely cultivated insect species for animal feed, is emerging as a strong candidate for genet...

Ziziphus lotus (L.) Lam (wild jujube) leaves are traditionally used in Moroccan medicine to treat hypertension. The present study evaluated the aqueous extract of Z. lotus leaves (ZLAqExt) for its vasorelaxant effects, mechanisms of action, acute toxicity, antioxidant potential,...

Abstract CeO2 is a key material for catalytic and electrochemical applications due to its ability to store and release oxygen, linked to the formation of oxygen vacancies and the reversible reduction of Ce4+ cations to Ce3+. In this study, the oxygen K-edge was investigated in bu...

Cereal–legume intercrops offer multiple benefits for sustainable agriculture but remain a niche practice in French arable cropping systems. Though studies have identified barriers and motivations for adopting these practices, the conditions for their long-term adoption remain und...

Abstract Food systems drive a third of global greenhouse gas emissions, half of habitat loss and the bulk of diet-related non-communicable disease, yet sustainability agendas continue to prioritise supply-side interventions over demand-side ones. We argue that dietary shifts cons...

Specialized dairy farms have a high workload, with most of their labor resources devoted to livestock-related tasks. The feasibility of reducing pesticide use is influenced by work dimensions. Using a discrete choice experiment, we assessed trade-offs among determinants that can...

Abstract In the context of climate change plants have to cope with adverse conditions, among which water scarcity is a major threat for their survival. They have developed diverse regulatory processes to face drought that may differ depending on their ecological niche. The two sy...

Abstract Climate change (CC) and land-use/land-cover (LU/LC) alterations are among the most pervasive drivers of hydrological and ecological change in river basins worldwide, yet their combined impacts on fluvial ecological diversity remain insufficiently quantified, particularly...

SIESTR: a novel method to analyze Species’ Introductions Effects in Space and Time on Range dynamics
Rapidly shifting climates will lead to species range shifts over the next century. Artificially introducing species in new locations to enhance species migration, termed assisted migration (AM), has been suggested as one possible strategy to avoid species extinction. While curren...

Perinatal exposure to nano-polystyrene: deleterious imprinting on inflammatory bowel diseases
The extent of production and use of plastics leads to release of nanoplastics (NPL) into the environment, where they undergo weathering that could alter their toxicological properties. NPL enter the human food chain via contaminated food, and food packaging, and within the body t...

The presence and the activity of Aedes albopictus are a growing concern for nuisance and public health in Europe. Despite an increasing number of entomological and modelling studies, our incomplete understanding of mosquito population response to weather drivers in natural condit...

Abstract Background Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) represent an important regulatory layer that can modulate gene expression in plants. However, their functional relevance at specific stress-responsive loci and evolutionary emergence remain poorly characterized. The DOXC21...

Increasing awareness of the health, environmental, and geopolitical issues associated to mineral fertilizers have brought renewed attention to alternative sources of nutrients, such as those that flow from the sanitation systems of cities. This raises the questions: how much can...

ABSTRACT Oxygen transfer is a crucial element in the design of aerated wetlands. The presence or absence of dissolved oxygen has a significant impact on biological processes, and consequently, the efficiency of the degradation process. Typically, the air distribution system is si...
