“…The diversity of soil-dwelling insects within these ecosystems is staggering, with an estimated one-quarter of all described animal species inhabiting soil habitats. This diverse assemblage fulfills an array of ecological roles, contributing significantly to nutrient cycling through their roles as decomposers, predators, herbivores, and symbiotic partners [33]. For instance, earthworms, among the most recognizable soil inhabitants, aid in organic matter breakdown and soil aeration, enhancing nutrient availability and soil structure.…”

Biochar, a carbonaceous material produced through pyrolysis of organic matter, has garnered attention for its potential to enhance soil fertility, structure, and overall health. However, its effects on soil-dwelling insects remain a subject of considerable interest and debate. This chapter critically examines the current state of knowledge regarding the interactions between biochar applications and soil-dwelling insects, encompassing diverse aspects such as alterations in insect community composition, population dynamics, behavioral changes, and potential mitigation of infestations. Through an exploration of empirical studies and theoretical frameworks, it aims to elucidate the intricate relationships between biochar amendments and soil insect ecology.

“…The fertility and productivity of the soil cannot be maintained solely by applying inorganic fertilizers. Restoration of soil health may also be aided by the incorporation of organic sources such as FYM and biofertilizers [35]. Further, an increase in nutrient supply does not affect plant growth but reflects luxury consumption without significantly contributing to either yield or quality.…”

Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi L.), also known as carom seed, belongs to the family Apiaceae, a native from Egypt. It is a popular seed spice crop in India. It is an annual herbaceous plant bearing small egg shaped greyish brown fruits. Seeds contain medicinal values, especially for curing indigestion, stomach pain, and elements concerning the digestive system. Thymol (30-35%), γ-terpinene (23.92%), and p-cymene (22.9%) are the major constituents present in the seeds. The essential oil extracted from Ajwain seeds is being used in minor quantities in perfumery, food flavouring as preservatives, and most extensively in folk medicines, especially for remedies of stomach disorders. Dry and hot fruit fermentation is externally applied on the chest to cure asthma, and a crushed fruit paste is applied for colic pains. Evaluation and characterization of seed spices germplasm is required for their documentation and cataloging crop wise for further use by plant breeders and biotechnologists to improve yields, quality, and resistance against biotic as well as biotic stresses. There is an urgent need to enhance the productivity and quality of the crop by adopting suitable agronomic practices such as population densities per hectare and the nutritional status of the soil. Major research is needed on pesticide residue management to earn better foreign exchange. Recent available advanced research and development have been described in this article.

“…Neuroptera stand out among other taxa due to relatively more available life‐history data, in particular in not peer‐reviewed (gray) literature, but remain underrepresented in comparative studies (Eickermann et al., 2023 ). In addition, Neuroptera play a crucial role as effective predators of various insect pests, such as mealybugs, mites, or aphids (Koutsoula et al., 2023 ; Nair et al., 2020 ; Yayla et al., 2020 ) and are an indicator of environmental health and ecosystem quality (Stelzl & Devetak, 1999 ; Verma et al., 2023 ). Here, we first perform a review of peer‐reviewed and gray literature to generate a database with responses to temperature and other key environmental drivers across the life cycle for Neuroptera.…”

Comparative life‐history responses of lacewings to changes in temperature

Insects play a crucial role in all ecosystems, and are increasingly exposed to higher in temperature extremes under climate change, which can have substantial effects on their abundances. However, the effects of temperature on changes in abundances or population fitness are filtered through differential responses of life‐history components, such as survival, reproduction, and development, to their environment. Such differential responses, or trade‐offs, have been widely studied in birds and mammals, but comparative studies on insects are largely lacking, limiting our understanding of key mechanisms that may buffer or exacerbate climate‐change effects across insect species. Here, we performed a systematic literature review of the ecological studies of lacewings (Neuroptera), predatory insects that play a crucial role in ecosystem pest regulation, to investigate the impact of temperature on life cycle dynamics across species. We found quantitative information, linking stage‐specific survival, development, and reproduction to temperature variation, for 62 species from 39 locations. We then performed a metanalysis calculating sensitives to temperature across life‐history processes for all publications. We found that developmental times consistently decreased with temperature for all species. Survival and reproduction however showed a weaker response to temperature, and temperature sensitivities varied substantially among species. After controlling for the effect of temperature on life‐history processes, the latter covaried consistently across two main axes of variation related to instar and pupae development, suggesting the presence of life‐history trade‐offs. Our work provides new information that can help generalize life‐history responses of insects to temperature, which can then expand comparative demographic and climate‐change research. We also discuss important remaining knowledge gaps, such as a better assessment of adult survival and diapause.
