Insights Into the Almond Domestication History
(Evolutionary Applications, 2025-08-31)Understanding crop domestication offers crucial insights into the evolutionary processes that drive population divergence and adaptation. It also informs the identification of genetically diverse wild ... -
Impact of zinc oxide on gut health, immunity, and growth in weaned piglets: exploring potential modes of action
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2025-09-01)Zinc oxide (ZnO) has been used at pharmacological levels to promote gut health and growth performance in the critical postweaning (PW) phase of piglets. The pharmacological use of ZnO in piglet diets ... -
Deep Sequencing Reveals Dual Evolution of SARS-CoV-2: Insights Into Defective Genomes From Wuhan-Hu-1 Variants to Omicron Subvariants
(Journal of Medical Virology, 2025-06-30)SARS‐CoV‐2 has evolved from early variants dominating the first (B.1.5, B.1.1) and second (B.1.177) pandemic waves, which exhibited a higher frequency of minority mutants with deletions leading to ... -
Water-saving strategies in rice farming entail cascading effects in prey–predator interactions across ecosystem boundaries
(Journal of Applied Ecology, 2025-08-11)1. Water-saving irrigation strategies have been globally promoted to mitigate the contribution of flooded rice farming to climate change. While the positive effect of those strategies in reducing ... -
Impact of implicit biases on consumer behavioural intention towards meat alternative proteins
(Food Research International, 2025-08-23)Growing concerns about the ethical, health, and environmental impacts of rising meat consumption have driven interest in meat alternative proteins. However, consumer acceptance of meat alternative ... -
