Co‐presence of black soldier fly frass, soil‐biodegradable mulch films, and earthworms: effects on film biodegradation, ecotoxicity, and microbial community

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 14, Page 8094-8107, November 2025.
Abstract Background Soil‐biodegradable mulch films (SBF) are used increasingly to enhance crop yields while addressing soil pollution and disposal issues. Another sustainable practice gaining attention is the use of soil amendments derived from waste, such as insect frass from Hermetia illucens.

Semiochemical applications for managing the grey field slug (Deroceras reticulatum Müller), a major pest of arable crops

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 11, Page 7288-7301, November 2025.
Trends in semiochemical research highlight promising attractants and repellents for ‘push–pull’ pest control strategies of the grey field slug. Extracts from plants, predators, entomopathogenic fungi, and essential oils demonstrate potential in modifying grey field slug behaviour, inducing avoidance, antifeeding responses, or mortality, offering ...

Does Ivermectin Pollute the Surroundings of Swine Farms?

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.
This study assessed ivermectin residues in faeces and environmental samples from intensive swine farms in Emilia‐Romagna, Italy. Faecal concentrations varied by administration route, with oral treatment leading to higher early excretion. Residues in fertilised soil sometimes exceeded ecotoxic thresholds, highlighting environmental risks and the need ...

Unveiling the Hidden Feast: A Model to Translate Molecular Detection Into Predation Rate—Application Example on Biological Control by Generalist Predators in Agricultural Fields

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Few processes are as decisive as predation in shaping the structure and dynamics of ecological communities. For most predator species, however, the number of prey items killed by a predator in a day (predation rate) remains impossible to assess because direct observations are scarce or impossible to acquire.

Sequential Thresholds Shape Drylands' Multitrophic Response to Aridification

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 11, November 2025.
We analyzed biodiversity responses across 290 global dryland ecoregions and found that all taxonomic and trophic groups, from microbes to mammals, showed abrupt threshold declines with increasing aridity. Thresholds varied (aridity 0.45–0.95), leading to 19%–54% biodiversity losses, most strongly in herbivores and detritivores and further exacerbated ...

The Fraction of Carbon in Soil Organic Matter as a National‐Scale Soil Process Indicator

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
This research examined the quantity of carbon held in soil organic matter (SOM) across different habitats, using data from nearly 10,000 samples gathered from Europe and other areas. The results revealed a strong relationship between soil categories, types of habitats, and the ability of SOM to store carbon.

An Evaluation of the Economic, Environmental and Social Impacts of NSW DPI Investments in IPM Research in Invertebrate Rice Pests [PDF]

open access: yes
Research into IPM technologies has been conducted by NSW DPI for over 20 years. Evaluating the returns from investment in specific research and development projects is an important component of the NSW DPI science and research program.

The Sequence of Drought‐Driven Stomatal Closure, Stem Xylem Embolism, Dehydration, and Aquaporin Gene Expression Differs Among Species

open access: yesPhysiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Stem dehydration is critical in predicting drought‐driven tree mortality. Yet, how it coordinates with stomatal closure, xylem embolism, and aquaporin‐mediated water transport regulation remains unknown. Two angiosperms (beech and olive) and two conifers (pine and juniper) of contrasted embolism resistance were selected to assess the sequence ...
