Nutritional Characterisation of Acheta domesticus at Different Developmental Stages for Application in Animal Feed

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The house cricket Acheta domesticus has emerged as a promising alternative protein source for animal nutrition; however, limited information is available on how developmental stage influences its nutritional characteristics. This study compared subadults (30‐day‐old) and adults (40‐day‐old) crickets in terms of chemical composition, mineral ...

Evaluating the In Vitro Digestibility of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens L.) Larvae as Potential Feed Ingredient in Dairy Cattle Silage‐Based Diets: A Focus on Proteins

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dietary protein has a substantial economic impact on cattle feed, and it is also a critical component for animal growth and productivity. Several environmental issues related to soybeans have led to an increased interest in novel protein sources, such as insects.

Dive surveys and eDNA detect contrasting macroalgal community composition in Nova Scotia, Canada

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Morphological identification of macroalgae can be time‐consuming and species may be difficult to observe, collect, or identify, preventing detailed study on the distribution and ecology of many species. The use of eDNA in species surveillance and biodiversity assessments has gained considerable traction in studying macroalgae, as it provides ...

Defecation in preparation for ecdysis drives microplastic clearance in cricket nymphs

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
In preparation for ecdysis, cricket nymphs cease feeding and gradually clear their gut contents via frass production, which removes most ingested MPs from their digestive tract. Following exoskeletal moulting, the foregut lining, including any remaining MPs, is shed and excreted alongside frass approximately 6 h later.

Cognitive Symbionts. Expanding the Scope of Cognitive Science With Fungi

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been argued that fungi have cognitive capacities, and even conscious experiences. While these arguments risk ushering in unproductive disputes about how words like “mind,” “cognitive,” “sentient,” and “conscious” should be used, paying close attention to key properties of fungal life can also be uncontroversially productive for ...

Spaceflight and sport science: Physiological monitoring and countermeasures for the astronaut–athlete on Mars exploration missions

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight impacts essentially every system in the human body, resulting in multisystem deconditioning that might impair the health and performance of crewmembers, particularly on long‐duration exploration missions to Mars. In this review, we apply the sport science model of athlete monitoring, testing and training to astronauts;
