TL;DR: Since protein content and quality were high and comparable for prepupae reared on different substrates, black soldier fly could be an interesting protein source for animal feeds, however, differences in EE and ash content as a function of substrate should be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An overview of the invasion history and ecology of H. axyridis globally with consideration of future research perspectives is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of host plant on the functional response of the predator Podisus nigrispinus (Heteroptera : Pentatomidae)
TL;DR: It is suggested that glandular trichomes on the plant surface and allelochemicals may interfere with the predator's performance on tomato, resulting in an impaired searching efficiency and predation ability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insects in animal feed: Acceptance and its determinants among farmers, agriculture sector stakeholders and citizens
TL;DR: The use of insects in animal feed is a potential avenue to improve the sustainability of animal diets and meet the growing global demand for livestock products as mentioned in this paper, but little is known about the attitudes towards and willingness to accept insect-based animal feed and foods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benefits and risks of exotic biological control agents
TL;DR: The benefits of biological control as well as the associated risks including to human and animal health, plant health and particularly the environment are reviewed, and the major challenges for assessing risks and for balancing benefits and risks are identified.
