Article Synopsis
- Wind energy is important for fighting climate change, but bird collisions with wind turbines can harm bird populations.
- A study using GPS data from 275 raptors in Europe aimed to understand how turbine height and rotor size affect these collision risks.
- Results showed that increasing turbine height decreased collision risk for most birds but increased it for the Short-toed Eagle, while larger rotor diameters increased risks across species, highlighting the need to tailor turbine designs based on local bird populations.
Article Synopsis
- Our ancestors’ ability to adapt their diets and migrate to better environments facilitated their rapid spread from Africa over 120,000 years ago.
- The influence of environmental factors versus cultural aspects on this migration process remains uncertain.
- A statistical analysis of archaeological and genetic data reveals that migration routes were primarily shaped by regional environmental conditions, despite the potential role of cultural influences on a smaller scale.
Partial resistance in plants generally exerts a low selective pressure on pathogens, and thus ensuring their durability in agrosystems. However, little is known about the effect of partial resistance on the molecular mechanisms of pathogenicity, a knowledge that could advance plant breeding for sustainable plant health. Here we investigate the gene expression of during infection of pepper ( L.

Agricultural practices are recognized to be an important pressure on farmland biodiversity, and pesticides are suspected to be one of the main causes of this decline in biodiversity. As part of the national plan for reduction of pesticides use (Ecophyto), the French ministry of agriculture launched the 500 ENI (nonintended effects) monitoring program in 2012 in order to assess the unintended effects of agricultural practices, including pesticide use, on biodiversity represented by several taxonomic groups of interest for farmers.
