Contrasted effects of human pressure on biodiversity in the UK: a multi‐taxonomic assessment using airborne environmental DNA

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
Human activities have significantly modified habitats, resulting in a global biodiversity crisis. In this study, we leveraged the first national‐scale biodiversity survey based on airborne environmental DNA, comparing the effects of three human pressure indices increasing in complexity and scope – a binary urban–rural index, an index integrating land ...

Shortening the Black Soldier Fly Life Cycle by Temperature‐Driven Genetic Selection to Enhance Alternative Protein Production

eFood, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.
By selecting larvae for fast growth at 35°C, we obtained a new black soldier fly (BSF) strain with a faster life cycle and no fitness trade‐offs. This shows how selective breeding can improve BSF for large‐scale, sustainable production of insect protein. ABSTRACT In response to the growing demand for sustainable protein sources, insect mass rearing has

Responses of Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) to sulfoxaflor exposure

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2020
Harmonia axyridis is an important predator of several pest species and is part of many Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. To assess the risks of pesticide application to H. axyridis, we studied the effects of sulfoxaflor on H. axyridis larvae. At 72 h after treatment, the acute toxicity LR50 was 311.9476 g a. i.
