TLDR
This study showed the possibility of production of insect larvae biomass as through bioconversion process of agricultural waste rich with lignocellulose and lowest waste reduction efficiency was recorded by larvae feed rate.Abstract:
This study focuses on the application of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens L) as a bioconversion agent of the rice straw to reduce amount of waste while in the same time produced larvae biomass In this study, larvae were fed with rice straw at six different feed rates (125, 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg/larvae/day) until larvae reached prepupal stage During study, relative growth, relative consumption rate, and waste reduction level were measured Daily feeding of 200 mg of grinded rice straw per larvae resulted in the highest prepupal dry weight (1559 ± 001 mg), lowest developmental time (39 ± 01 days), but lowest waste reduction efficiency (1085 ± 00005%) Highest waste reduction efficiency was recorded by larvae feed rate of 125 mg/larvae/day (3153 ± 001%) and decreased with higher feeding rate This study showed the possibility of production of insect larvae biomass as through bioconversion process of agricultural waste rich with lignocelluloseread more

Mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) oil characterization and optimization of the free fatty acid pretreatment via acid-catalyzed esterification
TL;DR: In this article, the physical and chemical properties of mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) oil were studied and an optimization study of acid-catalyzed esterification using response surface methodology (RSM) was conducted to reduce the high level of free fatty acid (FFA) content to a range below 1% to be suitably used for biodiesel production via acid catalyzed transesterification.

Compensation for a bad start: grow now, pay later?
Neil B. Metcalfe,Pat Monaghan +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that, although compensatory growth can bring quick benefits, it is also associated with a surprising variety of costs that are often not evident until much later in adult life.

The Consumption and Utilization of Food by Insects
TL;DR: It seems apparent that adaptive nutritional differences must be sought on a quantitative level and that a meaningful comparative nutrition of insects will not emerge until quantitative studies are emphasized.

TL;DR: In this article, two important aerosol species, sulfate and organic particles, have large natural biogenic sources that depend in a highly complex fashion on environmental and ecological parameters and therefore are prone to influence by global change.
