Insects in production – an introduction
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 168, Issue 6-7, Page 422-431, July 2020., 2020 Insects have been on the menu of humans for centuries, but only recently their mass production for human food and animal feed started. First, we inventory mass cultured insects and their application. The insect production industry raises many interesting questions about insect biology and fitness.

Insect Science, EarlyView.The mutualism between Tapinoma ibericum ants and Aphis gossypii disrupts the biological control exerted by Aphidius colemani in greenhouse peppers. Ant exclusion increased parasitism and the presence of most natural enemies, although Aphidoletes aphidimyza was more abundant with ants.
