Why Engage Communities in Biomedical Research?

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While community engagement in biomedical research is widely lauded, and many reasons to engage communities have been adduced, it is unclear whether all these reasons are equally important, and, if not, which are most important. Here, I argue that, outside of rare circumstances, community engagement should not be understood as seeking ...

‘I like to dance with the flowers!’: Exploring the possibilities for biodiverse futures in an urban forest school

Children &Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores the ways in which ‘forest school’, an educational approach where children engage in creative and play based activities in a ‘natural’ environment, can contribute towards Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG 15) by promoting sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and by helping address biodiversity loss. Drawing on data

Effects of non‐host traces on behavioural responses of an egg parasitoid to substrate‐borne semiochemicals in a multi‐herbivore scenario

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
In open arena assays, the response of the egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis to substrate‐borne semiochemicals left by the host Nezara viridula was affected by the non‐host Spodoptera littoralis. Non‐host larval traces reduced T. basalis residence time spent on walking traces from gravid N. viridula females but did not affect responses to walking traces

Effects of insect-derived protein form and replacement level on growth performance and skeletal traits in broiler pheasants (Phasianus colchicus)

Poultry Science
This study evaluated black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) products as alternatives to soybean meal protein in broiler pheasants, focusing on growth performance and skeletal traits in both sexes.

Conserved dimerization architecture in C‐type lectins from virus‐vector mosquitoes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
C‐type lectins (CTLs) are involved in the detection of viral/microbial carbohydrates. We studied a family of soluble CTLs in the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which acts as a vector for viruses like dengue and Zika. Using crystallography, biophysics, and structure prediction approaches, we found that these proteins consistently pair together in the same ...

Boosting Insect Meal Application in Food by Bioprocessing with Yeasts

Chemical Engineering Transactions
The growing global demand for protein-rich foods requires sustainable alternatives to the conventional animal-based protein systems. In this sense, insect-based proteins, especially from Tenebrio molitor, present a promising nutrient-rich solution with a

Diachronic Trends in Dental Hygiene Over the Last 2000 Years in Milan, Italy: An Exploratory Study

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oral health is a multi‐factorial condition influenced by diet, hygiene and sociocultural habits and its historical evolution can be traced through the bioarchaeological analysis of dento‐skeletal remains, offering unique insights into past lifestyles and public health trends.

Challenges to artificial intelligence‐enabled digital technology adoption in farms: a multi‐method approach

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI)‐enabled digital technologies have the potential to transform agriculture by supporting decision‐making and automating operations. However, their limited adoptions and scholars’ atheoretical explorations constrain our understanding.

Growth Performance and Instrumental Sensory Responses of Offshore-Farmed Gilthead Seabream (Sparus aurata) Fed Defatted Hermetia illucens Meal

Fishes
This study evaluated the effects of partial replacement of fishmeal with 11% defatted Hermetia illucens meal (corresponding to approximately 35% replacement of the fishmeal-derived animal protein fraction) on growth performance, fillet proximate ...

Evaluating the In Vitro Digestibility of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens L.) Larvae as Potential Feed Ingredient in Dairy Cattle Silage‐Based Diets: A Focus on Proteins

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dietary protein has a substantial economic impact on cattle feed, and it is also a critical component for animal growth and productivity. Several environmental issues related to soybeans have led to an increased interest in novel protein sources, such as insects.
