Physiological Host Range of the Tachinid Istocheta aldrichi, a Potential Biological Control Agent for the Japanese Beetle in Europe

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
This study provides the first laboratory assessment of the physiological host range of Istocheta aldrichi, a candidate biological control agent for Popillia japonica in Europe. In sequential no‐choice tests with 14 European scarab beetles, the parasitoid oviposited on six species but successfully developed only in the two Rutelinae Anomala vitis and ...

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.

Successful use of insect‐based (Hermetia illucens) diet in dogs with food‐responsive enteropathy

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objective Diet is an integral component of the management of chronic enteropathy in dogs. The role of insect‐based diets in this disease remains unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of an insect‐based (Hermetia illucens) diet in dogs with presumed food‐responsive enteropathy.

Maximal Swimming Speed Explains Differences in Habitat Use Among Invasive Ponto‐Caspian Dikerogammarus Species (Crustacea, Amphipoda)

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
The three invasive Ponto‐Caspian Dikerogammarus species (D. bispinosus, D. haemobaphes, and D. villosus) show niche differentiation along the current velocity gradient. In the present study, we experimentally measured their maximal swimming speeds to test whether they coincide with their tolerances for currents.
