Excess adipose fat accumulation, or obesity, is a growing problem worldwide in terms of
both the rate of incidence and the severity of obesity-associated metabolic disease. Adipose …

Recent research using Drosophila melanogaster has seen a resurgence in studies of
metabolism and physiology. This review focuses on major methods used to conduct this …

Temperate, polar and alpine insects generally do not feed over winter and hence must
manage their energy stores to fuel their metabolism over winter and to meet the energetic …

Climate change is rapidly altering thermal environments across the globe. The effects of
increased temperatures in already warm environments may be particularly strong because …

Increases in thermal variability elevate metabolic rate due to Jensen's inequality, and
increased metabolic rate decreases the fitness of dormant ectotherms by increasing …

Insects comprise relevant biological models for investigating nutrient acquisition and
allocation processes in the context of life‐history ecology and evolution. However, empirical …

Overwintering insects must survive the multiple-stress environment of winter, which includes
low temperatures, reduced food and water availability, and cold-active pathogens. Many …

Abstract In this study, Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL)-based technology has been proposed
and tested for treatment and valorization of human faeces, food waste and a mixture of 75 …

In seasonal environments, many animals, including insects, enter dormancy, where they are
limited to a fixed energy budget. The inability to replenish energetic stores during these …

Snow insulates the soil from air temperature, decreasing winter cold stress and altering
energy use for organisms that overwinter in the soil. As climate change alters snowpack and …
