Asymmetry of mating behaviour affects copulation success in two stored-product beetles
(2017)Lateralization (i.e. left–right asymmetries in the brain and behaviour) has been documented in all vertebrate classes, while evidences for invertebrates are limited. To the best of our knowledge, there is no information ... -
Cold storage-mediated rearing of Trichogramma evanescens Westwood on eggs of Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) and Galleria mellonella L.
(2021)The egg parasitoid Trichogramma evanescens Westwood is considered as an efficient biological control agent for managing several lepidopteran pests and it is widely distributed throughout the world. Mass rearing protocols ... -
Core versus diet-associated and postprandial bacterial communities of the rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) midgut and faeces
(2018)This study investigated the impact of different dietary ingredients, with different protein/lipid sources, on midgut and faeces bacteria community structures just before feeding and 3 h after feeding a single meal to ... -
Enterobacter sp. AA26 gut symbiont as a protein source for Mediterranean fruit fly mass-rearing and sterile insect technique applications
(2019)Background: Insect species have established sophisticated symbiotic associations with diverse groups of microorganisms including bacteria which have been shown to affect several aspects of their biology, physiology, ecology ... -
Host-associated bacterial succession during the early embryonic stages and first feeding in farmed gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata)
(2019)One of the most widely reared fish in the Mediterranean Sea is Sparus aurata. The succession of S. aurata whole-body microbiota in fertilized eggs, five, 15, 21 and 71 days post hatch (dph) larvae and the contribution of ... -
Induced dormancy in Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella (HÜbner) and its impact on the quality improvement for mass rearing in parasitoid Habrobracon hebetor (Say)
(2022)A steady supply of hosts at the susceptible stage for parasitism is a major component of mass rearing parasitoids for biological control programs. Here we describe the effects of storing 5th instar Plodia interpunctella ... -
Manipulation of insect gut microbiota towards the improvement of Bactrocera oleae artificial rearing
(2020)Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is the main pest of olive trees (Olea europaea L.), causing major damages in olive crops. Improvement of mass rearing is a prerequisite for the successful development of ... -
Medfly-Wolbachia symbiosis: Genotype x genotype interactions determine host's life history traits under mass rearing conditions
(2019)Background: Wolbachia pipientis is a widespread, obligatory intracellular and maternally inherited bacterium, that induces a wide range of reproductive alterations to its hosts. Cytoplasmic Incompatibility (CI) is causing ... -
Milk quality characteristics of indigenous sheep breeds Boutsko, Frisarta and Karagouniko
(2017)In this study, the chemical and microbiological characteristics of ovine milk from three indigenous Greek breeds, Boutsko, Frisarta and Karagouniko were examined, while reared in the semi mountainous areas. The milk yield ... -
Valorization of Agricultural Side-Streams for the Rearing of Larvae of the Lesser Mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer)
(2022)During the last decade, insects have shown up as a promising answer to the increasing animal protein demand for a continuously growing human population. A wide spectrum of substrates of plant origin can be currently used ...
