Enhancing Stored Wheat Shelf Life: Advances in Storage Technologies, Integrated Pest Management, and Climate‐Responsive Approaches

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent advances in agricultural production and storage systems have contributed to a significant enhancement in annual wheat production and preservation, aimed at satisfying increasing consumer demands. Despite such potential developments, there are still significant post‐harvest losses in stored wheat, induced by destructive pests, grain ...

Multi‐Target Mechanisms of Moroccan Aphrodisiac Plants: An Integrative Computational and Phytochemical Investigation

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Moroccan medicinal plants with in silico‐approved aphrodisiac effects provide 94 phytochemicals. Docking against PDE5, AR, ERα, and aromatase gives top scores for lutein (−10.6), baicalein (−9.5), liquiritigenin (−9.2), and procyanidins (−9.7). ADMET filtering passes baicalein and liquiritigenin but excludes lutein and procyanidins. MD simulations (200

The determination of the pyrethrin content of dilute preparations of pyrethrum flowers in oil

open access: yes, 1946
The Martin‐Brightwell modification of the Wileoxon‐Holaday mercury reduction method, which was drawn up for the evaluation of pyrethrum preparation in mineral oil containing o% of total pyrethrums, have been critically examined and modified to give ...

Fogging and Flight Interception Traps—The Evaluation of Two Methods to Collect Canopy Arthropods

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The forest canopy is a crucial habitat for a wide variety of species. However, it remains difficult to assess due to significant methodological challenges and uncertainties. Flight intercept traps (FITs) and insecticidal knockdown (FOGGING) are among the most widely used techniques for sampling canopy arthropods, yet systematic comparisons of ...

The pyrethrins and related compounds. II. infra‐red spectra of the pyrethrins and of other constituents of pyrethrum extract

open access: yes, 1961
The infra‐red spectra of the pyrethrins and of other compounds found with them in pyrethrum extract are presented and discussed. The spectra of the four insecticidal esters are interpreted in terms of those of the acids and alcohols from which they are ...

Hidden lineages in the African Sky Islands: A taxonomic reevaluation of Afrocarduus (Compositae)

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 401-420, March 2026.
Species delimitation is crucial for biodiversity studies. Using Hyb‐Seq and phylogenomics, we reassessed Afrocarduus, endemic to Afromontane and Afroalpine regions, uncovering 16 evolutionary lineages (2.3 Mya). Morphological data support their distinctiveness, with acaulescence evolving independently twice. The traditionally broad A.
