Sheep and cattle grazing regimes differentially affect ground beetle and ant communities in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Sheep and cattle grazing significantly shape ant and ground beetle species composition in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands, promoting higher diversity by increasing habitat heterogeneity. Ground beetles and ants reflect changes in grazing regimes, with sheep‐grazed areas showing the highest diversity, highlighting their utility in ecosystem monitoring.

Fishmeal Substitution With Feather Meal in the Diet of African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus): Effects on Growth Performance, Survival, and Feed Floatability

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Fish production represents an important sector, and limited access to feed is a major challenge faced by fish farmers. A potential solution is for farmers to produce their own feeds using cheaper and locally available ingredients. In order to identify alternative substitutes for conventional protein sources used in fish feed, this study was ...

Agribusiness Supply Chains: From Green to Regenerative

open access: yesJournal of Supply Chain Management, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 105-124, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Supply chain management has traditionally prioritized maximizing profits, creating persistent tensions with social‐ecological systems (SES) despite sustainability efforts. Regeneration offers an alternative, ecocentric approach, yet it remains unclear how supply chains can operate within SES boundaries.
