Environmental Stress Drives Plasticity in Sexual Bimaturism in the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens Linnaeus, 1758)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 736-749, July 2026.
We measured the plasticity in sexual bimaturism (SBM; differences between sexes in the timing of sexual maturity) in the black soldier fly (BSF) by exposing larvae to nutrient availability and humidity stress. Our results show that SBM can range between protandry and protogyny depending on the environmental quality. Additionally, we found the degree of

Effect of Small‐Quantity Lipid‐Based Nutrient Supplementation on Children's Cortisol Concentration

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 22, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the role of early‐life nutrition supplementation in regulating the development of hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis activity, as evidenced by hair cortisol concentration (HCC), in the iLiNS‐DYAD randomized controlled trial in Ghana.

CO2‐Activated Starch‐Derived Hierarchically Porous Carbon for High‐Performance Zinc‐Ion Hybrid Supercapacitors

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
High‐performing materials are required to achieve efficient energy storage; however, their environmental benefits can be undermined if toxic/corrosive chemicals, or high water usage, are required for their preparation. We present an environmentally friendly route to hierarchical porous carbon from starch, using carbon dioxide (CO2) as a mild activating

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Optimizing Carbon Sources in Biofloc Technology for Sustainable Aquaculture: A Meta‐Analytical Review

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture intensification is increasingly constrained by high water demand, nutrient‐rich effluents and disease risk, increasing interest in biofloc technology (BFT) as a waste‐recycling, low‐exchange production model. However, BFT performance depends strongly on the carbon source used to adjust the carbon‐to‐nitrogen (C/N) ratio and ...
