Ants in Ecosystems and Agriculture: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Nearly 60% of the world’s habitats are underutilized. And current agricultural practices are blamed for contributing to soil carbon depletion and biodiversity loss. Climate change, habitat fragmentation, and other challenges hinder species development, leading to projected shifts in species distribution. This calls for alternative management strategies. The organizational structure of social insects, especially ants, offers a model for improved ants account for half of all insect biomass. It plays an …

Anticancer, Nutritional & Other Therapeutic Potentials of Microgreens
Abstract: Microgreens are young, tender greens, immature greens (require light for photosynthesis and growing medium) that are developed from the seeds of cereals, herbs, legumes, and vegetables. These are used to enhance the color, texture, or flavor of salads and main dishes. The immature plants are harvested between 7 and 21 days, depending on the variety. They are referred to as "living superfoods," "functional foods," or "nutraceuticals," because they are rich …
