Making Sense of the Bioeconomy: A Critical Analysis of EU Policy Narratives and Responses

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The bioeconomy has become an increasingly popular concept in European Union (EU) policy, promising sustainable growth, job creation, and reduced environmental impacts. Yet its meaning remains contested, ambiguous, and politically charged. This study critically examines how EU bioeconomy policy narratives prior to 2025 construct this concept ...

Optimizing cold storage for diapause termination and post-diapause performance in the green lacewing Chrysopa formosa Brauer (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control
Background Diapause is an adaptative strategy that enables insects to survive unfavorable environmental conditions, and its regulation is critical for large-scale production and storage of natural enemies used in biological control.

Power, (De)Politicisation and Polycentric Governance: Evidence From UK Local Climate Policy

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article extends (de)politicisation theory to elucidate power dynamics in polycentric governance. It develops an original analytical framework to empirically investigate how governmental, societal and discursive (de)politicisation processes emerge within and across decision‐making centres. The framework focuses on dimensions of technocracy,

Molecular Identification of the Glutaredoxin 5 Gene That Plays Important Roles in Antioxidant Defense in Arma chinensis (Fallou)

Insects
Glutaredoxin (Grx) is a group of redox enzymes that control reactive oxygen species (ROS), traditionally defined as redox regulators. Recent research suggested that members of the Grx family may be involved in more biological processes than previously ...

Meta-analysis reveals that seed-applied neonicotinoids and pyrethroids have similar negative effects on abundance of arthropod natural enemies [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Background Seed-applied neonicotinoids are widely used in agriculture, yet their effects on non-target species remain incompletely understood. One important group of non-target species is arthropod natural enemies (predators and parasitoids), which ...

Detection of refuge from enemies through phenological mismatching in multitrophic interactions requires season-wide estimation of host abundance

, 2011
The concept of ‘‘enemy-free space’’ (EFS) refers to ways of living that reduce or eliminate the vulnerability of a species to natural enemies. It has been invoked to explain host shifts of phytophagous insects.

Public Opinion About Community Participation in Natural Resources Governance: A Population Survey in Indonesia and Malaysia

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The international conservation and natural resources communities have increasingly embraced the principle of community participation. This rhetoric around participation has gained power and influence in setting countries' agendas for natural resources governance, largely without a sound understanding of public opinion on the issues.
