Linking frass and insect phenology to optimize annual forest defoliation estimation [PDF]
MethodsX, 2023 It is often logistically impractical to measure forest defoliation events in the field due to seasonal variability in larval feeding phenology (e.g., start, peak, and end) in any given year.

Insect frass and exuviae to promote plant growth and health [PDF]
Trends in Plant Science, 2022 Beneficial soil microorganisms can contribute to biocontrol of plant pests and diseases, induce systemic resistance (ISR) against attackers, and enhance crop yield. Using organic soil amendments has been suggested to stimulate the abundance and/or activity of beneficial indigenous microbes in the soil.

Combined digestion of insect frass and cow manure for biogas production [PDF]
, 2022 In an experiment described by Elissen et al. (2019) on anaerobic digestion of black soldierfly (BSF, Hermetia illucens) larvae frass, the frass had been previously hygienised due to Dutch law. However, when the frass would stay on the same premises this hygienisation step may not be necessary.
