Predatory decapods for biological control of pest snails: Ecological, behavioural and mechanical aspects

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
A food‐choice experiment illustrating that monosex decapods can serve as efficient biological control agents against parasite‐transmitting snails in aquaculture systems. We presented prawns and crayfish to four pest snail species with varying shell characteristics and quantified their predation preferences and traits. We show that the force required to

A Systematic Review of Biofloc Technology and Periphyton in Giant Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) Aquaculture

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Biofloc technology and periphyton‐based systems enhance the sustainable production of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). A PRISMA‐guided review (2005 – 2024) shows that BFT improves survival (75 – 78 %) and feed efficiency, while periphyton supports natural productivity in grow‐out.

Zooarchaeological Analysis of an Atoll Assemblage From Central Micronesia

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 177-198, April 2026.
ABSTRACT There has been a dearth of archaeological research on atolls in the central‐eastern Caroline Islands of Micronesia. This has limited our understanding of pre‐contact subsistence and settlement strategies in these more marginal and remote environments, particularly in regards to zooarchaeological data.

Biosynthesis gene cluster‐containing species drive microbial community stability under thermal stress through enhanced ecological cohesion

open access: yesiMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
The study framework for exploring microbial community assembly and community stability of biosynthesis gene cluster (BGC)‐containing species under thermal stress (20°C–65°C) during 39 days of spontaneous fermentation. Temperature gradients during spontaneous fermentation reshape microbial community assembly, driving pronounced succession in both ...
