Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

Co‐Flowering Plant Species in a Glasshouse Boost Both Strawberry Production and Bee Health
Integrating co‐flowering plants into glasshouse strawberry systems creates a “win‐win” synergy where floral diversification enhances stingless bee vitality and crop visitation. This approach increased A‐grade fruit from 25% to 70%, demonstrating that strategic biodiversity integration optimises both pollinator health and sustainable agricultural ...

ABSTRACT The current trend of individualized food items (nutrient content and flavor) can be particularly valuable to support people's health and well‐being in isolated environments where access to fresh foods and diverse nutrition is difficult. At the same time, bioactive compounds and micronutrients can be employed to countermeasure any health ...
