🔗Welcome to read: https://brnw.ch/21wWtu4 ✨

Tenbrio molitor (T. molitor) is a widely utilized feed ingredient, though it is deficient in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). To address this, dietary supplements containing EPA and DHA in ethyl ester and triglyceride forms were admi...

An Ecological Survey of Chiggers ( : ) Associated with Small Mammals in an Epidemic Focus of Scrub Typhus on the China–Myanmar Border in Southwest China

👉Open Access: https://brnw.ch/21wWq9j ✨

Chiggers (chigger mites) are a group of tiny arthropods, and they are the exclusive vector of Orientia tsutsugamushi (Ot), the causative agent of scrub typhus (tsutsugamushi disease). Dehong Prefecture in Yunnan Province of southwest China is located on the China–Myanmar border and is an important...

Energy Reserve Allocation in the Trade-Off between Migration and Reproduction in

👉Open Access: https://brnw.ch/21wWq8F ✨

Striking a trade-off between migration and reproduction becomes imperative during long-range migration to ensure proper energy allocation. However, the mechanisms involved in this trade-off remain poorly understood. Here, we used a takeoff assay to distinguish migratory from non-migratory individual...

( ) Dumpers Learn from Experience to Improve Waste Disposal and Show Spatial Fidelity

👉Open Access: https://brnw.ch/21wWq81 ✨

The Central Australian red honey-pot ant Melophorus bagoti maintains non-cryptic ground-nesting colonies in the semi-desert habitat, performing all the activities outside the nest during the hottest periods of summer days. These ants rely on path integration and view-based cues for navigation. They ...

A First Step Towards Larvae ( : ) Welfare by Considering Dietary Regimes (Part I)

👉Open Access: https://brnw.ch/21wWpZM ✨

The insect farming sector is expanding, but knowledge of insect welfare is still limited. This article aims to optimize the dietary regime for “black soldier fly” (Hermetia illucens L., BSF) larvae by applying a holistic view of welfare. Four diets were tested: control (CONTR, commercial laying ...
