Experimental rearing of Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi larvae under four controlled climate‐chamber treatments (15°C vs. 20°C; 24h darkness vs.12h light/12h dark) to isolate temperature and light effects on development. Repeated measurements of larval body size, biomass and pupation timing to quantify how growth rates and developmental duration ...

Have the environmental benefits of insect farming been overstated? A critical review
ABSTRACT Insect farming is frequently promoted as a sustainable food solution, yet current evidence challenges many environmental benefits claimed by industry proponents. This review critically examines the scientific foundation for assessing the environmental impacts of insect farming in both human food and animal feed applications.

Reduced TiO2‐x has been widely studied because of its unique properties. This paper reviewed the preparation of TiO2‐x by inorganic chemical reduction method and the applications for solar‐driven photothermal conversion water evaporation. The development prospects are prospected. Global water scarcity and pollution present critical challenges for human

Biological and biologically‐inspired functional nanostructures with structural, thermal, optical, and sensing applications are reviewed. The role of nanoscale features in biological materials on performance is described, and their blueprints are used for bio‐inspired nanomaterials, synthesized using advanced techniques (i.e., photolithography, bio ...

Resist!: Sustaining forest carbon sequestration and wood production after insect disturbance
Disturbances from insect pests threaten ecologically and economically important goods and services supplied by forests, including wood production and carbon sequestration. We highlight the factors that influence these services’ resistance, a term quantifying the initial response to disturbance.

An assessment of Alberta's strategy for controlling mountain pine beetle outbreaks
Our findings tentatively support a ‘wait it out’ management strategy for forest pests with strong Allee effects, where small populations face experience negative growth. Moderate but sustained control efforts prevent explosive population growth until extreme winter conditions deliver a final blow, offering a cost‐effective approach that enables ...
