Interplanting Floral Resource Plants with Vegetable Plants Enhances Beneficial Arthropod Abundance in a Home Garden

open access: yesOklahoma Native Plant Record, 2015
We examined whether interplanting vegetable and ornamental flowering plants reduces herbivory and enhances photosynthetic rate, plant growth, natural enemy abundance, and pollinator visitation relative to monoculture plantings.

Functional Biodiversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Modern conventional agriculture is characterized by monocultures. These are less productive in terms of biomass than natural plant communities, which are usually complex mixtures of species and varieties, and they also require more inputs.

Postharvest Losses Along the Small‐Scale Fish Value Chain in Bangladesh: Perceptions, Determinants and Implications for Food Security

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Postharvest fish losses in Bangladesh remain substantial (about 10% for farmers and 12% for traders), driven by high temperatures, inadequate storage, poor handling practices, and market inefficiencies. Strengthening education and training, improving cooling practices, and enhancing transport and market access can significantly reduce these losses ...

Sugar provisioning increases parasitoid numbers in agroecosystems but may not reduce pest densities: A meta‐analysis

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that providing sugar sources reliably supports parasitoid populations and parasitism rate but does not systematically translate into improved pest suppression or yield gains. These results suggest that, for economic and practical reasons, sugar inputs at the edge of cultivated fields should be favoured.

Shifting Trends in Aquaculture's Biological Potential to Address Food, Climate and Biodiversity Challenges

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 740-753, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture has expanded and intensified significantly since the mid‐20th century, affecting its contributions to food security, climate change and biodiversity conservation (FCB) outcomes. In particular, shifts in the composition of farmed species affect the sector's potential impacts on sustainable development.

Tilapia polyculture: a global review

open access: yesAquaculture Research, 2015
Tilapia are the second most farmed fish worldwide and their production has quadrupled over the past decade due to ease of aquaculture, marketability and stable market prices. Tilapia aquaculture must adopt sustainable practices (such as polyculture) for continuing increased production and improved sustainability.

Risk of Spread of Megalocytivirus pagrus1 (Infectious Spleen and Kidney Necrosis Virus) From Frozen Fillets

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) is a significant threat to global aquatic food security by causing large‐scale mortality in the aquaculture of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi). ISKNV is a genogroup of Megalocytivirus pagrus1, along with RSIV and TRBIV, and their recent listing as WOAH ...
