Parasitoids depend on a series of adaptations to the ecology and physiology of their hosts
and host plants for survival and are thus likely highly susceptible to changes in …

Highlights•Climate is changing fastest at high latitudes and in winter.•Phenological shifts in

Storage at low temperature is a valuable method for increasing the shelf-life of natural
enemies such as insect parasitoids. Cold storage is usually performed under sub-optimal …

Determining the critical thermal limits to activity is a first step towards clarifying how
temperature affects population dynamics and geographic distribution of ectothermic insects …

Black soldier fly (BSF) larvae have gained significant attention as ingredients for poultry feed
to improve value chain circularity and sustainability. Black soldier fly larvae contain bioactive …

For tsetse (Glossina spp.), the vectors of human and animal trypanosomiases, the

The impact of fluctuating thermal regimes on the cold tolerance of the parasitoid Aphidius
colemani at the mummy stage is examined. The hypothesis is tested that, if a cold period is …

The toxic effect of unionized ammonia (NH 3) on aquatic organisms is receiving increasing
attention due to the excessive nitrogen discharge to various surface waters. Researches …

When insects are exposed to fluctuating thermal regimes (FTRs)(ie, cold exposure
alternating with periodic short pulses to high temperature), in contrast to constant low …

Many parasitoid wasps and flies feed habitually on sugar-rich foods, consuming nectar
and/or homopteran honeydew in the wild, and substitutes such as diluted honey in the …
