Unpacking the origins of among‐ and within‐individual variation in pollen quantity and quality: implications for crop yield and breeding

Summary Enhancing crop yields depends on translating fundamental plant biology concepts into practical agricultural solutions – a critical challenge for global food security. Although breeding has historically prioritized yield and stability, the mechanisms underlying variation i...

Airflows redefine the cost of aerial transport in the wild

Fuel economy matters to both animals and machines, as the cost of transport can determine where, when, and how far locomotion is possible. However, established estimates of these values for animal flight come from laboratories and treat the atmosphere as constant, even though fre...

A Living Laboratory Producing Agroecological Knowledge Since the 1960s: The Comarca Andina of North Patagonia, Argentina

Living Labs (LLs) are often described as top-down, formally designed innovation spaces, and literature about LL research highlights scarce reports of LLs in Latin America. However, grassroots territorial-innovation spaces exist in Latin America, and we hypothesized that some of t...

Ecological Types Versus Taxonomic Types in Phytobenthos Composition in Four Contrasting Basins

ABSTRACT Taxonomic classification of phytobenthos is time‐consuming and requires specialized expertise, favouring growing use of trait‐based or eco‐morphological functional classifications, which may better capture the environmental heterogeneity shaping community composition. Aq...

Global agriculture shows limited evidence of a pollinator-driven yield decline to date

BACKGROUND: During recent decades, declines in the abundance and diversity of wild pollinators have been widely documented, largely driven by human-induced disturbance, such as agricultural expansion, land-use change, pesticide use, invasive species, urbanization, and climate cha...

Characterization and Analysis of PHEX Variants in Patients With Hypophosphatemia in Argentina

ABSTRACT Confirming the underlying molecular etiology of hereditary hypophosphatemia (HH) to provide recurrence risk counseling is highly important. Our aims were to describe the detected variants and their distribution across Argentina and to contrast them with published data. P...
