Dr. Thomas Elliot's team estimates that Canada's dairy quota system has led to vast amounts of milk being discarded over the past decade, with large economic, environmental and nutritional costs.
Professor Jia-Qian Jiang's review of monitoring studies finds neonicotinoid pesticides widespread in China's major rivers and lakes, with some areas heavily contaminated and posing ecological risks.
Dr. Thomas Monath warns that Japanese encephalitis could take hold in the United States through local mosquitoes, pigs and birds, threatening public health and the swine industry.
Professor Patrik Grahn's team traces how the purpose of urban parks has shifted over time, and proposes planning green spaces that tackle climate effects, biodiversity and health together.
Dr. Christopher Murray's team satellite-tracked crocodiles in Costa Rica and found that relocated males travelled much farther than resident animals and tended to head back to where they were caught.
Ching-Chieh Yang and Dr. Swee-Suak Ko's team found that melon plants watered with ultrafine bubble water grew denser leaf hairs, suffered fewer aphids and produced heavier, sweeter fruit.
Dr. Temidayo Omolaoye's review of human and animal studies links air pollution to poorer sperm quality and DNA damage, mainly through oxidative stress, inflammation and hormonal disruption.
Dr. Elsayed Abdelaal proposes a hybrid milling model for wheat and peas that combines dry and wet processing with recycling and upcycling to turn byproducts into valuable ingredients.
Professor Ayodeji Ifegbesan's team found generally low climate change awareness among citizens of African countries, with education the strongest predictor and radio news the main source of information.
Dr. Pablo Canziani's team rescued historical weather records from Southern Patagonia, revealing a warm late nineteenth century followed by early twentieth-century cooling consistent with hemispheric records.
Nick Martin showed that building weather attribution into future climate projections for a Texas river basin yields drier, more drought-prone water budgets than standard climate simulations.
Dr. Markus Steen's team surveyed small and medium-sized Norwegian ports and found that drivers and barriers to cutting emissions differ by measure, so a one-size-fits-all approach is unlikely to work.
