Background Consuming insects as an alternative protein source is considered a future trend
and a viable strategy that could potentially contribute to global food security. Insects are a …

Eating is a risky affair. All animals have to offset risks of feeding such as exposure to plant
toxins, increased vulnerability to predation, or conspecific aggression with a food's energetic …

The world population has been estimated to increase to over nine billion people by 2050
(United Nations, 2019), with the demand for animal-derived protein expected to rise at an …

Black soldier fly (BSF, Hermetia illucens L.), an insect with high protein, has been proposed
as a sustainable protein resource alternative for both food and feed for their nutritional …

The habitual consumption of large-animal resources (eg, similar sized or larger than the
consumer) separates human and nonhuman primate behavior. Flaked stone tool use …

Taste perception plays an essential role in food selection. Umami (savory) tastes are sensed
by a taste receptor complex, T1R1/T1R3, that detects proteinogenic amino acids. 1 High …

It remains unclear whether and, if so, how nonhuman animals make on-the-fly predictions
during pursuit. Here we used a novel laboratory pursuit task that incentivizes the prediction …

The parallel evolution of increased sensorimotor intelligence in humans and capuchins has
been linked to the cognitive and manual demands of seasonal extractive faunivory. This …

Most nonhuman primates prey on vertebrates. Meat-eating, defined as ingestion of
vertebrate tissue, occurs in 12 families,≥ 39 genera, and≥ 89 species. It is most common in …

Edible insects are a suitable source of valuable nutrients that can meet the nutritional
requirements for humans. Published scientific data on their nutritional value has been on the …
