Can black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae affect germination of Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) seeds in dairy manure?

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson) is classified as a noxious weed in Minnesota, necessitating its eradication within the state. Manure from livestock fed contaminated feed was identified as a major pathway for the introduction of Palmer amaranth in Minnesota. Black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens L.) (BSFL) are known to feed

Testing the Optimal Foraging Theory in a Generalist Feeder: The Case of Reintroduced European Pond Turtles and Its Impact on Macroinvertebrates Communities

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
In this study we investigated the macroinvertebrate (MI) communities in two newly created, man‐made ponds concurrently with the diet of captive‐bred European pond turtles that were translocated there. We aimed at assessing whether turtles were operating as generalist feeders, and if successive reintroductions of turtles would affect the overall MI ...

Are Findings of Key Insect Metrics Generalizable Across Different Taxa in Malaise Trap Samples?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Malaise traps are increasingly used for global insect monitoring. However, it remains unclear whether patterns in total insect biomass from these traps reflect only changes in dominant taxa, or whether they reflect changes in other key community metrics and taxonomic groups.

A new underwater camera trap for freshwater wildlife monitoring

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, Page 1625-1635, August 2025.
Abstract Amphibians are among the most threatened groups of vertebrates worldwide and spend a significant part of their lifecycle in freshwater ecosystems. As for many freshwater organisms, monitoring their populations is limited by the lack of robust and standard methods applicable across large spatial scales.

Multiple mating is not driven by size and sperm management in black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 8, Page 815-825, August 2025.
We investigated mating in black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), an important source of animal feed. The number of spermatozoa stored in the spermathecae of females does not change after one, two and three matings of the male. BSF males and females mate multiple times under controlled conditions. The number of sperm in the
