Studies on the sterile-male technique as a means of control of Adoxophyes orana (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) 4. Technical and economic aspects of mass-rearing [PDF]
, 1977 In most animals, the optimal phenotype is determined by trade-offs in life-history traits. Here, I compare development and reproductive strategies in two species of solitary secondary hyperparasitoids, Lysibia nana and Gelis agilis, attacking pre-pupae ...

Mass rearing of Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: tenebrionidae)
Plant Protection – Achievements and Perspectives, 2023 Currently, the market for edible insects is being formed in the European Union and other economically developed countries. In particular, this applies to the yellow mealworm. We have proposed a technology for the mass breeding of this insect. This technology does not require significant equipment costs and can be quickly implemented. Research methods -

Environment–host–parasite interactions in mass-reared insects [PDF]
Trends in Parasitology, 2023 The mass production of insects is rapidly expanding globally, supporting multiple industrial needs. However, parasite infections in insect mass-production systems can lower productivity and can lead to devastating losses. High rearing densities and artificial environmental conditions in mass-rearing facilities affect the insect hosts as well as their ...
