Spider (Araneae) Abundance and Diversity Across Land‐Use Gradients

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We sampled spider populations in economically important kiwifruit orchards that are adjacent to either low‐disturbance ecosystems (native forest) or high‐disturbance ecosystems (maize), using pitfall traps and active sampling. A total of 2710 spiders were collected from 27 families, representing 64 species and eight functional guilds.

Recent and Promising Strategies for Robust, Sustainable, and Cost‐Friendly Production of Yogurt With Superior Quality

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Yogurt is one of the most technologically mature fermented dairy products on the market, traditionally prepared using the two lactic acid bacteria (LAB) Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus. Global demand for yogurt continues to rise, driven by consumer interest in healthy, high‐protein diets with as few ...

Unlock the Potential of Pichia in Coffee: Knowledge Transfer From Fermented Beverages

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Considerable research has focused on non‐Saccharomyces yeasts to explore their biochemical potential and genetic diversity beyond the capabilities of the conventional starter culture, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Among these, species of the genus Pichia have emerged as promising candidates in diverse food fermentation systems. Although studies on

Bioprotection of pineapple in ecological cropping systems

Acta Horticulturae, 2016
Monoculture and intensive use of pesticides have reduced the biodiversity of agrosystems and increased the imbalance between pathogenic and beneficial organisms. In the past, pineapple pests were generally controlled by pesticides, but today very few pesticides are authorized.

Building the Tools for Enhanced Waterway Surveillance: Prediction of Antimicrobial‐Resistant Escherichia coli and Their Genes From an Urban River in Aotearoa New Zealand

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
Urban waterways are important reservoirs and transmission pathways for antimicrobial resistance (AMR), but AMR measurements are not routine in water quality monitoring. This two‐year environmental study investigated the prevalence, diversity and surveillance potential of AMR Escherichia coli in the Ōtākaro/Avon River and tributaries in Ōtautahi ...
