Akritas Cape: a recently discovered raptor migration hotspot in the Balkans
Several new hotspots have been identified in the past three decades, particularly in Italy, but none have approached the numbers observed at those three traditional sites. Up to now, the flyway connecting Greece with North Africa during post-breeding migration has been studied through observations from the island of Antikythira, located between southern Greece and Crete.

Magnetic fields and imaging technologies
Magnetic fields are at the core of many imaging technologies. A widely known modality is MRI, a standard procedure in medical imaging, which is however limited by a long scanning time and the ability to only image anatomical regions containing sufficient amounts of water. The more recent magnetic particle imaging (MPI) instead promises functional images of the dynamics of nanoparticle tracers with high temporal resolution.

Healthy Forests Require Combined Deer and Invasive Shrub Control
If left unchecked, both overabundant white-tailed deer populations and invasive shrubs like Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii) can devastate deciduous native tree regeneration. Yet, a management strategy focused only on deer, or only on invasive shrubs, results in little or no forest health improvement, according to research from Ohio, spanning more than 10 years.

Intensive Grazing: Maximising Pasture Potential and Animal Performance Through Infrastructure
Grazing pasture provides a highly nutritious, low cost feed and energy supply for ruminant animals, while also converting a human inedible feed source into a human edible feed source in the form of meat and dairy products. However, to efficiently convert the pasture into animal products requires optimal management practices in pasture based production systems. Two of the fundamental requirements for pasture based systems, are rotational grazing and optimal roadway networks for animal movement on the farm.

Assessing Evidence-Based Training in a Collaborative Virtual Reality Flight Simulator
Imagine training for a life-or-death situation, only to find that the skills you learnt do not translate when it matters most. This gap in training tragically became a reality in the case of Air France 447, where ineffective responses to an abnormal situation contributed to a fatal crash. While flight simulators have long been a cornerstone of pilot training, their limitations are pushing the industry to explore new technologies. Could virtual reality (VR) revolutionise how pilots are trained?

“Why We Love Suffixes: The Fascinating Cognitive Bias Shaping Language”
Verbal language, one of the hallmarks of human beings, enables us to express intricate thoughts, transmit cultural knowledge, and connect through generations. It is also one of the most studied domains in disciplines ranging from social sciences to neuroscience. Within this broad realm, the suffixing bias has turned out to be a particularly compelling phenomenon that continues to fascinate researchers as they attempted to provide an answer to the following question: Why do most world's languages use suffixes more than prefixes to convey grammatical meanings like tense or number? And what is this related to? Our general cognition? Is it language-specific? Or even an accidental distribution caused by some random factors that are not related to language cognition per se?

Bridging the Yield Gap: Lessons from Brazil to Boost Maize Production in Sub-Saharan Africa
A recent study by Leticia G. Gasparotto and colleagues from the University of São Paulo explores how Brazil's agricultural advancements can help close this yield gap in SSA.

In Brazil, the yield gap for maize is about 50% of its water-limited yield potential. In SSA, this gap is much larger, with actual yields representing only about 9% of the potential.
