Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

The use of edible insects in human food

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

High nitrogen loading impacts the temperature‐size rule and heat tolerance in a nettle‐feeding butterfly

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host‐plant quality and ambient temperature are key environmental drivers of herbivorous insect performance, affecting growth, development, and survival. While temperature accelerates physiological processes in ectothermic insects, nutrient limitation in host plants can ...

EFFECT OF CRICKET POWDER ADDITION ON TECHNOLOGICAL PROPERTIES AND QUALITY OF SAUSAGES

Journal of microbiology, biotechnology and food sciences
Edible insects are increasingly explored as alternative protein sources for the feed and food industry due to their potential for sustainable, high-quality protein production. The use of a powdered form of an insect in a ready-to-eat food can increase the willingness to consume insects. This study evaluates the chemical composition, colour, texture and

The Effect of Heterospecific Song and Anthropogenic Sound on the Development of Life History Traits in a Field Cricket

Ethology, EarlyView.
We raised fall field crickets in acoustic environments of silence, their own song, traffic noise, or the song of the recently introduced Japanese burrowing cricket and measured development, size, and adult survival. We found that crickets reared with burrowing cricket song developed more quickly than crickets reared in silence.

Evolution of Crematogaster sordidula (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) Ants in the Mediterranean Region During Plio‐Pleistocene Climatic Changes

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding insect responses to global climate change involves identifying strategies used during past climate oscillations. Phylogeography offers a powerful framework to unravel how historical climatic and geological events have shaped the spatial genetic patterns of species, providing critical insights into evolutionary processes, whereas ...
