Experimental evolution on a wild mammal species results in modifications of gut microbial communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Comparative studies have shown that diet, life history, and phylogeny interact to determine microbial community structure across mammalian hosts. However, these studies are often confounded by numerous factors.

The Effects of Diet on the Expression of Male Dimorphic Colouration and Weaponry in a Species of Neotropical Katydid

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Male alternative reproductive tactics are widespread, often involving distinct morphs influenced by genetics or the environment. This study confirms two male morphs in the bush cricket Satizabalus jorgevargasi—larger, more colourful majors and smaller, duller minors—and tests how diet affects their development.

Tailoring bioactive properties of cricket powder through optimized hydrolysis using pineapple rhizome-derived bromelain

open access: yesFuture Foods
Crickets are rich in nutrients, but their direct consumption remains limited; thus, transforming them into hydrolyzed products may enhance their applicability.

Olive Pomace Inclusion Alters the Microbial Community of Black Soldier Fly Larvae Frass While Maintaining Fertilizer Quality

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
Olive pomace was evaluated as a feed component for rearing BSF larvae in industrial scale. The presence of olive pomace did not affect larvae or frass composition, even when frass was submitted to heat treatment or pelletization. Bacterial and fungal communities were affected by olive pomace.

The HCA/Radcliffe red list of endangered crafts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This research, funded by the Radcliffe Trust and done on behalf of the Heritage Crafts Association (HCA), is the first of its kind in the UK. It set out to assess the current viability of every heritage craft taking place in the UK today and to identify ...

A research update on the food value of Prionoplus reticularis (Huhu grub), an indigenous edible insect of New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1133-1145, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This review explores Prionoplus reticularis, an indigenous New Zealand edible insect, commonly known as the ‘Huhu grub’. With a rich history of consumption by Māori and a presence in local food festivals, Huhu grubs are gaining attention as a potential alternative protein source. Growing global populations increase the demand for nutrient‐rich

Insects are not 'the new sushi': theories of practice and the acceptance of novel foods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Food geographies have long grappled with the interplay between production and consumption. Theories of practice offer productive new ways of conceptualising the mutual implication of supply and demand in shaping food consumption, yet little work has ...

Metabolic Consequences of Hybridization in European Water Frogs (Pelophylax esculentus complex)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Our study links hybridization, ploidy, and cell size to metabolic performance under varying oxygen and temperature conditions in an amphibian larval model. By revealing physiological constraints tied to genotype and mitonuclear mismatch, it provides mechanistic insights into how hybrid and polyploid organisms may respond to environmental change ...

Characteristics and Bioactivities of Protein Hydrolysate from Cricket (Acheta domesticus) Powder Defatted Using Ethanol with Aid of Vacuum Impregnation

open access: yesFoods
Cricket is a potential proteinaceous source used for protein hydrolysate (PH) preparation, having several biological activities. Nevertheless, cricket has high lipid contents, which are susceptible to oxidation during PH preparation.
