We provide an extensive review on current knowledge and future research paths on the
topic of resource allocation and compensation during development in holometabolous …

For several decades, control of fruit fly pests in Australia has depended to a large degree on
dimethoate, a broad-spectrum organophosphate insecticide that has been widely used on …

Performance and body composition of insect larvae depend on quality and quantity of their
diet, and on biotic factors such as larval density. We investigated the effect of dietary nutrient …

We investigate how the black soldier fly Hermetia illucens L.(Diptera: Stratiomyidae)
responds to dietary protein (P) and carbohydrate (C) contents and the P: C ratio in terms of …

Caloric restriction (CR) has been widely accepted as a mechanism explaining increased
lifespan (LS) in organisms subjected to dietary restriction (DR), but recent studies …

A key determinant of the relationship between diet and longevity is the balance of protein
and carbohydrate in the diet. Eating excess protein relative to carbohydrate shortens …

Protein feeding is critical for male reproductive success in many insect species. However,
how protein affects the reproduction remains largely unknown. Using Bactrocera dorsalis as …

Protein (P) and carbohydrate (C) concentrations present in food affect larval performance,
larval body nutrient concentration, and fecundity of the black soldier fly (BSF). We …

The black soldier fly [Hermetia illucens L.(Diptera: Stratiomyidae)] can be sustainably reared
on organic waste streams and thereby provide a novel animal protein source for animal …

The sterile insect technique (SIT) is being applied against fruit fly pests in many areas of the
world. Currently, factories have a capacity to produce several billion sterile insects per week …
