Biological Methods for Microbial Control

Biological Methods for Microbial Control

Biological agents offer an effective means of controlling microbial growth by leveraging natural processes like predation, competition, and the secretion of antimicrobial substances.Predatory bacteria such as Bdellovibrio species target and kill pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli. They are widely used in poultry farms to control infections. Myxococcus species help combat plant-pathogenic fungi. These naturally occurring predators serve as eco-friendly alternatives to chemical pesticides and...

Microbial Interactions: Predation

Microbial Interactions: Predation

Microbial predation refers to the process by which one microorganism kills and consumes another to obtain nutrients and energy. It encompasses both bacterial and protozoan predators. This interaction plays a crucial role in shaping microbial communities and regulating nutrient cycling.Bacterial Predators: Epibiotic vs. EndobioticBacterial predators are classified based on their mode of attack as either epibiotic or endobiotic. Epibiotic predators, such as Vampirococcus, attach to the surface of...

Threats to Biodiversity

Threats to Biodiversity

There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Synthetic Biology

Synthetic Biology

Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Habitat Fragmentation

Habitat Fragmentation

Habitat fragmentation describes the division of a more extensive, continuous habitat into smaller, discontinuous areas. Human activities such as land conversion, as well as slower geological processes leading to changes in the physical environment, are the two leading causes of habitat fragmentation. The fragmentation process typically follows the same steps: perforation, dissection, fragmentation, shrinkage, and attrition.

Background:

Arthropod natural enemies (predators, parasitoids) are vital for biological pest suppression in sustainable agriculture.
Global demand for eco-friendly pest control drives increased research in this field.
This study analyzes the intellectual structure and research trends in arthropod natural enemies for biological control.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically analyze the scientific literature on arthropod natural enemies in biological control from 2016-2025.
To identify core themes, foundational research clusters, and emerging subfields.
To outline future research priorities for scaling sustainable pest management.

Main Methods:

Bibliometric analysis of 6515 Web of Science Core Collection papers (2016-2025).
Analysis of performance metrics, keyword co-occurrence networks, and temporal trends.
Co-citation analysis and bibliographic coupling of recent publications.

Main Results:

Research output increased rapidly from 2016-2019, then plateaued with a slight rise in 2025.
The US, China, and Brazil are leading contributors to the research.
Key themes include conservation biological control, predatory mites, and integrated pest management (IPM), with a shift towards invasive pest systems.

Conclusions:

Emerging subfields include landscape ecology, tri-trophic interactions, invasive pest biocontrol, non-target risk assessment, and fall armyworm management.
Future priorities include AI-enabled rearing, functional biodiversity, climate adaptation, and landscape management.
The findings provide a framework to advance sustainable pest management globally.
