Growth and histomorphological responses of Chindongo socolofi to the long‐term replacement of fish meal with defatted Tenebrio molitor meal

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The long‐term suitability of defatted Tenebrio molitor larvae meal (TM) as a substitute for fish meal (FM) protein was evaluated in Chindongo socolofi over a 170‐day feeding period. Six isonitrogenous (38% crude protein) and isoenergetic (4396 kcal kg−1) diets were formulated, in which TM protein replaced FM protein at 0% (control), 20%, 40 ...

Rapid Identification of Edible Insect Species in Food Using MALDI‐TOF Mass Spectrometry

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 13, 15 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Edible insects are emerging as sustainable, nutritious ‘foods of the future’ and are gradually introduced to the European market as novel foods. Ensuring consumer safety and preventing fraud requires legal regulation, which in turn depends on reliable analytical methods.

Biodegradation of plastic waste by yellow mealworms ( Tenebrio molitor larvae)

PeerJ
Background Plastics are very widely used worldwide, and most of these are not degradable, resulting in global environmental concerns. Plastic usage is growing faster than it did in the past, especially during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Consumer Valuation of Meat Alternatives and Labeling Policies: A Comparative Perspective

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 762-779, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates and compares US consumer perceptions and the impact of environmental, human health, and animal welfare information related to conventional meat on preferences for meat alternatives and labeling policies. Using the best–worst scaling method across 10 different burger alternatives, our results show that the meat burger is

Microclimate of cemetery habitats and nest site selection of Eresus kollari (Araneae: Eresidae) in South Korea

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Nest site selection and construction are important life history events for many animals. These decisions are largely governed by abiotic factors such as temperature, humidity, and solar radiation. Eresus kollari—a burrowing spider that excavates its own nest and rears its offspring within—likewise faces important decisions when choosing where ...
