One third of the food produced for human consumption is currently lost or wasted. Insects have a high potential converting organic waste- and by-products into feed growing population due to symbiosis with microorganisms. These symbioses provide an untapped reservoir functional microbiomes that can be used improve industrial insect production but are poorly studied in most species. Here we review current understanding challenges valorizing through insects their feed, emerging novel technologies investigate manipulate host(insects)-microbiome interactions. We further construct holistic framework, by integration including holo-omics, genome editing, breeding, phage therapy, administration prebiotics probiotics interactions, solutions achieving stakeholder acceptance sustainable production.

Abstract In animal breeding programs, utilizing quantitative genetic designs such as the full-/half-sibling design is fundamental. A demands that mating can be controlled, and individuals tracked for construction of a pedigree. nature, black soldier fly ( Hermetia illucens L.) males are reported to gather in lekking groups engage competitive displays courtship rituals before mating. This behavior described crucial establishing suitable conditions achieving successful mating, polygyny therefore assumed rare. We show when exposing virgin male female, they readily mate, demonstrating ability mate without prior it possible selected pairs. Furthermore, we achieved between an individual at least four females within four-hour time span, nearly all matings result live offspring. Our findings pave way moving H. programs beyond mass selection towards advanced selective demanding controlled Such enable multiple traits simultaneously, used prevent inbreeding, drastically increase rates responses compared selection.

Abstract Insect production for food and feed presents a promising supplement to ensure safety address the adverse impacts of agriculture on climate environment in future. However, optimisation is required insect realise its full potential. This can be by targeted improvement traits interest through selective breeding, an approach which has so far been underexplored underutilised farming. Here, we present comprehensive review breeding framework context production. We systematically evaluate adjustments techniques realm insects highlight essential components integral process. The discussion covers every step conventional scheme, such as formulation objectives, phenotyping, estimation genetic parameters values, selection appropriate strategies, mitigation issues associated with diversity depletion inbreeding. combines knowledge from diverse disciplines, bridging gap between animal quantitative genetics, evolutionary biology entomology, offering integrated view research area uniting previously remained scattered across fields expertise.

Abstract Some insect species have been proposed as a sustainable alternative to traditional animal‐based food and feed sources. Optimisation of production can generally be achieved using two main approaches: optimising environmental conditions improving traits interest through selective breeding. These avenues are not inseparable performance genotype might differ between environments due phenotypic plasticity because genotypes respond differently changes, that is genotype‐by‐environment interactions (G × E). In production, diets variable quality consist waste‐ by‐products low nutritional value, which result in decreased and/or increased trait variability within population. Therefore, it investigate how perform across various diets. Here, we investigated G E for mean variation, define the ability produce consistent phenotypes environments. We did this by rearing 190 full‐sib families house fly larvae, Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae), on based either alfalfa, Medicago sativa (Fabales: Fabaceae), or deproteinated grass. Four larval were assessed: egg‐to‐larva viability, surface area, dry weight relative lipid content. Reaction norms used effects diet family variation found reared grass‐based had higher all than alfalfa‐based diet. For both traits. findings suggest there genetic (slope reaction norms) thus potential breed with high well

Few investigations have been made to determine whether pharmaceutical drugs cause any generational effects. These effects can be divided into intergenerational and transgenerational In insects, the F1 offspring of exposed individuals are considered show (as they as germ cells or early embryos), while F2 generation is fully non-exposed Here, common over-the-counter (OTC) drug, paracetamol, investigated for genotype-specific responses across generations on three life-history traits: fecundity, longevity, spontaneous locomotor activity levels in model species Drosophila melanogaster. Seven isofemale D. melanogaster lines were a high intermediate dose paracetamol determined by dose–response curve. NMR verified long-term presence food substrate. Phenotypic ingestion flies drug their grand-offspring. The curve indicated paracetamol. following experiment, all traits displayed significant at least one seven lines, we detected strong Fecundity tended increase directly whereas fecundity was reduced (transgenerational). Longevity generally decreased but (intergenerational). Paracetamol primarily rarely seen individuals. However, no clear overall trend could trait. marked response warrants further investigation both general.

Dietary change can be a strong evolutionary force and lead to rapid adaptation in organisms. High-fat high-sugar diets challenge key metabolic pathways, negatively affecting other life history traits inducing pathologies such as obesity diabetes. In this study, we use experimental evolution investigate the plastic responses nutritionally unbalanced diets. We reared replicated lines of larvae housefly Musca domestica on fat-enriched (FAT), sugar-enriched (SUG), control (CTRL) diet for thirteen generations. measured development time each generation larval growth fat accumulation generations 1, 7, 13. Subsequently, all were one detect any changes. first generation, pupation decreased fat-rich increased sugar-rich diet. The and, lesser extent, dry weight larvae. Multigenerational exposure caused compensatory changes time, weight, absolute relative content, although pattern timing depended trait. When put back diet, many induced by disappeared, indicating that has large effects. Nevertheless, fat-evolved still grew significantly larger than sugar-evolved lines, had consistently lower content.
