Temperature-modified density effects in the black soldier fly: low larval density leads to large size, short development time and high fat content L.O. Opare , S. Holm , T. Esperk doi.org/10.3920/JIFF20… #openaccess #JIFFInPress #BSF

Setting up…

Two postdocs potentially available next year - #bsf and microbes converting dairy manure to protein and fertilizer while reducing GHG- let me know if interested; in association with Helms Lab - Chemical Ecology Heather Jordan

For a comprehensive study on larval density effects on BSF life history traits see here

Nice paper- #bsf manipulate microbes and resulting volatiles @CEIF_InsectAg nature.com/articles/s4159…

Every entomologist dreams of finding a rare gynandromorph! Perfectly divided. One side female, the other male. Some of us are lucky to find more than one. This is my first bilateral gynandromorph! I almost missed it in the pile I collected. #entomology #gynandromorph #insects
