Remote monitoring of stored grain insect pests
Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2018 A number of remote sensing methods were developed and tested in commercial grain warehouses; probe pitfall traps attached to vacuum lines, surface pit fall traps equipped with video cameras and white boards on grain surface monitored with video cameras. These methods were compared with detecting insects using grain samples.

The use of edible insects in human food
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Direct fed microbials (DFM) are natural and safe enteric methane mitigants for ruminant livestock systems. While previous studies have demonstrated the effect of Lactobacillus spp. on methane mitigation, challenges remain in effectively delivering DFM in extensive grazing systems. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the

Oikos, EarlyView.Seasonal environmental cycles affect plant–pollinator interactions by altering plant phenology. Periods of low resource availability can filter pollinators and reduce the complexity of interaction networks, but the extent to which the functional morphology of pollinators influences such filtering remains unclear.

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Different properties of biocomposites based on TPS with isosorbide as a plasticizer and green graphene filler. ABSTRACT New biocomposites of corn starch plasticized with isosorbide and filled with two types of “green” graphene with different oxygen content, 1% (G99) and 8% (G92), were processed by melt blending.
