Animal Segregation: The Biopolitics of Concentrated Pig Farming

Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores the possibility to think through the concept of animal segregation to understand the more‐than‐human geographies of livestock animals. By redirecting the analytical tools for studying the spatial separation of humans to the segregation of animals, this paper contributes to understanding the geographical processes of ...

International Cocoa Trading Arrangements Between Industrialised and Developing Countries 1951–1999: A Structural Gravity Analysis

The World Economy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using a state‐of‐the‐art structural gravity model, we investigate the impact of various (post‐)colonial cocoa trading arrangements on the cocoa trade between developing cocoa producer countries and rich industrial cocoa consumer nations in the time period 1951–1999. We find that in particular the trading arrangements of the European (Economic)

Application of inundative releases of Trichogramma evanescens to control the olive moth, Prays oleae (Bern.)

, 2004
Field releases of 900000 wasps/ha/release of Trichogramma evanescens were applied against the anthophagous (March 9 th , 26 th ; April 4 th , 22 nd ) and carpophagous (May 13 th , 27 th ; June 10 th , 24 th ) generations of the olive moth Prays oleae . A

A Trial of Ground‐Based Methods for Controlling Osmunda regalis L. Invasion of Waikato Wetlands, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 4, December 2026.
Over 90% of palustrine wetlands in New Zealand have been lost, and those remaining face ongoing threats such as plant invasions. In the northern North Island, there is concern about widespread invasion of wetlands by royal fern (Osmunda regalis), a fast‐growing exotic fern introduced to New Zealand in 1890.

Preliminary study on the combined effect of mating disruption and inundative releases of Trichogramma evanescens (West.) against the olive moth, Prays oleae (Bern.).

, 2004
Three comparable olive groves (3.1 ha, each) of the same olive varieties (Toffahi and Shamy) were chosen in 2002-2003 olive season to study the combined effects of mating disruption and releases of an egg-parasitoid on the olive moth, Prays oleae . Field

Beneficial Role of Natural Polyphenols Against Epilepsy: Greasing the Wheels of Pharmacotherapy Research for Epilepsy

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Epilepsy is the most disabling neurological disease that affects all economic classes, age groups, regions, and races. Although many antiseizure drugs are approved for epilepsy treatment, they fail to work in about 30%–40% of patients. Thus, there is a great need to identify better pharmacological agents to treat epilepsy.

BIOTECHNOLOGY AND PEST RESISTANCE: AN ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF REFUGES [PDF]

Transgenic crops offer farmers a new and effective pest control option. However, the wide spread adoption of these crops could lead to a resistant pest population. This paper demonstrates how a pest refuge can be used to maximise the value of farm income

Environmental drivers influencing the ambrosia beetle community: The primary role of geographic and climatic drivers in chestnut‐growing areas

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 575-587, November 2026.
Ethanol‐baited traps were placed in cultivated chestnut orchards (a) and mixed environments with assorted tree composition (b), over a 2‐year monitoring period in two valleys (NW Italy). A total of 118,286 ambrosia beetles was collected, representing six species.
