Recycling waste via insect agriculture: Frass impacts on soil and plant health. [PDF]

J Environ Qual
Abstract Frass—the main by‐product of insect rearing for animal feed—is emerging as a promising soil amendment and plant growth promoter. However, basic agronomic information is lacking and prevents frass’ widespread use as a biofertilizer. This study assessed impacts of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.

Sex- and Male-Morph-Specific Variation in Brain Mass and Cell Number Scaling in Solitary Centris pallida (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Bees. [PDF]

J Comp Neurol
We counted the number of cells in bees’ brains. Female C. pallida bees have more neurons in their brains overall than males. Small male morph bees had fewer cells and reduced densities in the visual input brain regions than large morph males, despite specializing on sight to find mates.

A checklist of soldierflies (Diptera, Stratiomyidae) in India

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2017
The Indian soldierfly fauna is rich and diverse, yet it is poorly studied as most species were described in the 19th century. Soldierflies, like most other organisms, especially in developing nations such as India, have been largely overlooked in recent ...

Effect of the energy content of diets on the development and quality of the fat reserves of larvae and reproduction of adults of the black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2021
Hermetia illucens is a sustainable and an increasingly bioeconomical source of nutrients for farm animals. It is still necessary, however, to improve our knowledge of the biological features of this species in order to maximize its use.
