The integration of next-generation sequencing into the identification and characterization of resistant and virulent strains as well as the routine surveillance of foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella enterica have not yet been accomplished in the Philippines. This study investigated the antimicrobial profiles, virulence, and susceptibility of th...

Environmental change research is plagued by the curse of dimensionality: the number of communities at risk and the number of environmental drivers are both large. This raises the pressing question if a general understanding of ecological effects is achievable. Here, we show evidence that this is indeed possible. Using theoretical and simulation-bas...

Economic impact of agricultural pests remains poorly studied, resulting in interventions rarely being evidence-based. When pests (re)emerge, researchers and donors often implement quick studies that tend to overestimate losses, leading to recommendations for immediate and substantial interventions. Incentives are lacking for scientists/research ins...

Sustainability is an increasing concern for agrifood firms because of consumer requirements, leading to a wide range of related signals on the food. Considering three different food chains (apple and mango purees, wine), we aim to explain differences in sustainability signalling in food chains. Using a qualitative and a quantitative methodology, we...

Following its outbreak in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused multiple shocks to the Kenyan economy. The virus has affected the health and economic situation of the Kenyan population, due to virus containment restrictions, and behavioral changes such as in consumption. Certain efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19 affected Kenya's agri-food supply...

Studies have shown that food chain length is governed by interactions between species richness, ecosystem size and resource availability. While redundant trophic links may buffer impacts of species loss on food chain length, higher extinction risks associated with predators may result in bottom-heavy food webs with shorter food chains. The lack of ...

AbstractThe simulation model of seasonal dynamics of 137Cs in the components of the oak forest ecosystem EcoradOak_CS_FW has been further developed, which now includes first- and second-order consumers. The radiocesium redistribution is modeled in a full-scale food web of a forest ecosystem of the soil–vegetation–herbivores–predator type. The algor...

AbstractBenthic communities of the semi-isolated deep fjordic Linjalampi and Sisajarvi lagoons in the apex part of Ambarnaya Bay, Varanger fjord, Barents Sea, are affected by the limited water exchange and wave action in combination with other abiotic and biotic factors. Among the biotic factors, the presence of a numerous group of red king crab (P...
