Phytochemical profiling and insecticidal activity of Moricandia sinaica across growth stages: experimental and molecular docking insights

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Stored food products are highly vulnerable to infestation by insects and mites, resulting in significant postharvest losses worldwide. Plant‐derived bioactive compounds represent promising eco‐friendly alternatives to synthetic pesticides.

Effect of Meal and Whole Larvae of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) on the Performance, Blood Lipid Profile, Slaughter Characteristics, Sensory Properties and Fatty Acid Composition of Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus L.) Muscles

Animals
Insect meal can be a valuable component of poultry diets, both during rearing and fattening, as well as for laying hens. Regarding protein feeds, the most commonly used are oil meals from soy and/or rapeseed, along with certain animal-derived feeds like ...

Envisioning human–nature relationships in the Wadden: An embodied, arts‐based approach for exploring relational, more‐than‐human futures

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Dominant approaches to imagining futures are often anthropocentric, emphasising socio‐technical change without fully accounting for human–nature relationships. Yet sustainability transformations demand approaches to imagining alternative, desirable futures that centre respectful and reciprocal human–nature relationships and reveal the ...

Unveiling the health‐promoting potential of Sudanese sorghum landraces: A legacy rooted in Eastern Sudan, Kassala, and the Red Sea States

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sorghum is a staple food for hundreds of millions of people in dry regions worldwide, and improving its nutritional quality is vital for global food and health security under climate change. In this study, we evaluated traditional Sudanese sorghum varieties grown in eastern deltas to better understand their natural health‐promoting properties. We found

A national crop wild relative checklist for Zimbabwe reveals edible crop wild relative diversity of regional and global importance

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop wild relatives (CWR) in Zimbabwe are reservoirs of beneficial agronomic traits, yet they remain under‐documented and poorly conserved. This study developed Zimbabwe's first national CWR checklist based on a conceptual framework combining floristic, ecological and ethnobotanical data, revealing over 2700 taxa, with nearly 1000 edible species ...

Effects of bioinsecticide exposure route on aphids and their natural enemies in oilseed rape

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Fatty acids, silicone polymers and surfactants reduced aphid numbers but caused natural enemy mortality under direct exposure, while minimal residual activity suggests potential for targeted, compatible use in integrated pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Myzus persicae Sulzer and Brevicoryne brassicae L.

The Replacement of Fish Meal with Poultry By-Product Meal and Insect Exuviae: Effects on Growth Performance, Gut Health and Microbiota of the European Seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax

Microorganisms
This study addressed the urgent need for sustainable protein sources in aquaculture due to the depletion of marine resources and rising costs. Animal protein sources, particularly poultry by-product meal (PBM) and insect exuviae meal, were investigated ...

Introgressed Brassica napus × Sinapis alba enhance resistance to the crucifer flea beetle (Phyllotreta cruciferae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that Brassica napus lines with Sinapis alba introgressions enhanced resistance against Phyllotreta cruciferae, resulting in reduced feeding damage and improved seedling physiological performance. The introgressed lines showed strong potential as genetic resources for developing more resilient and sustainable canola varieties ...

Social media as a new tool for studying the composition and spatial distribution of stored‐product arthropods in households

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Social media records highlight diverse household stored‐product arthropods and reveal distinct associations of major pest groups with different room types and specific substrates. Abstract BACKGROUND Stored‐product pests (SPPs) are well studied in food storage and processing facilities, but their occurrence in households remains poorly known.

Long‐term impact of exposure to Royal Guard, a pyriproxyfen‐based bed net, on pyrethroid‐resistant malaria vectors from Cameroon using DNA‐based metabolic resistance markers

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2165-2180, April 2025.
We used recently detected P450 DNA‐based markers of pyrethroid resistance in both Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae to demonstrate that although pyrethroid‐resistant mosquitoes have higher ability to survive and live longer after exposure to Royal Guard, this net significantly affects their lifespan, blood feeding ability and interestingly ...
