Xabi Martinez-Mendia, a researcher at the EHU-University of the Basque Country, has analyzed how adolescent psychotropic drug consumption is linked to gender inequality and economic factors in 32 European countries. Published in the European Journal of Public Health, the results indicate that overall consumption of psychotropic drugs is on the rise in countries with greater gender and economic parity, whereas in countries with lower parity, these drugs are consumed proportionally more by girls, and the gender gap is wider.

The race to complete the human pangenome—which comprises all genetic information across the human species—has been underway since 2022, when the first complete reference human genome sequence was released by the international Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium. Now, a team led by scientists at the Research Organization of Information and Systems has made a significant contribution to a more complete understanding of human genetics with 20 near-complete variant groups located in disease- and immune-related regions from 10 Japanese men.

A collaborative study has provided the most comprehensive assessment to date of the endangered Bornean ferret badger (Melogale everetti). Weighing only around one kilogram (2.2 pounds), the Bornean ferret badger is a small, nocturnal carnivore that is rarely seen by people. The paper is published in the journal Ecology and Evolution.

As conservationists seek to maintain biodiversity levels in tropical coffee landscapes, data indicate the presence and quality of surrounding forest habitat may play a larger role than previously thought. New research from the Colombian Andes shows that conserving forest cover across coffee-growing landscapes is essential for sustaining diverse bird communities, even more than farm-level shade tree management alone.
For generations, agronomic knowledge has been produced on research stations like AU Flakkebjerg, where fields are designed to answer specific scientific questions. This is where agriculture became measurable, comparable and reproducible. But a quiet shift is underway. Today, experiments are escaping the confines of the research station, turning ordinary farm fields into laboratories and farmers into active contributors to agricultural research.
