Synopsis

Interdisciplinary Research in Life Sciences: A Path Towards Sustainability (Vol. 1), published by Advent Publishing, presents a comprehensive exploration of innovative approaches to address global sustainability challenges through life sciences. This edited volume integrates diverse disciplines—ecology, biotechnology, pharmacology, aquaculture, and environmental science—to advance sustainable practices and biodiversity conservation. Featuring 20 chapters, the book bridges cutting-edge research with practical solutions, aligning with Advent Publishing’s open-access mission to enhance global accessibility and impact (https://books.adventpublishing.in/life-sciences-sustainability-v1).

The volume opens with an analysis of declining freshwater biodiversity, examining causes, concerns, and protective measures, followed by a study on waste feed fish diversity in the East Calcutta Ramsar Wetland, highlighting water quality impacts. It explores sustainable aquaculture through chapters on integrated multi-trophic systems and fisheries development, addressing scope, challenges, and traditional practices in India’s Marathwada region. Environmental sustainability is furthered through research on ecofriendly kitchenware and biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from endophytic fungi, promoting plant growth.

Biodiversity conservation is a recurring theme, with chapters on ecological succession, grassland birds in Dhule, and new grass species in Telangana’s Nizamabad district. The book also delves into sustainable agriculture, featuring studies on finger millet (Eleusine coracana) as a food supplement and phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms in soil. Pharmacological insights include the properties of Abrus precatorius and chalcone applications in pharmaceuticals. Environmental challenges, such as heavy metal pollution in water and broader threats to biodiversity, are critically assessed.

Additional chapters investigate nuclear medicine applications, seasonal variations in Wallago attu amino acid composition, qualitative analysis of Vigna trilobata pods, and the efficacy of Ovaprim in breeding Labeo rohita. Collectively, these contributions underscore interdisciplinary strategies to foster sustainability, offering actionable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners.
