Concentration of CO2 in Hermetic and Non‐Hermetic Storage and Effect on Incidence of Insect, Fungi, and Oil Quality of Corn Grain With Different Moisture Contents

Journal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 48, Issue 7, July 2025.
Storage conditions, time, and initial moisture content affect the temperature, relative humidity, and CO2 concentration of corn grains, as well as their quality parameters. This study helps to determine the optimal conditions for preserving the quality of grain and oil.

Rthoptera: Standardised insect bioacoustics in R

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1084-1094, June 2025.
Abstract Almost 100 years after the dawn of insect bioacoustics, freely available and robust analysis tools and protocols are still needed. We introduce Rthoptera, an open‐source R package designed for robust analysis of insect acoustic signals. It delivers accurate temporal and spectral measurements, along with intuitive visualisations, through a ...
