Novel protein sources for animal feed are needed, and the use of insects as feed ingredient
is explored. The insect production sector offers opportunities for a circular and sustainable …

Cycads are an ancient group of tropical gymnosperms that are toxic to most animals–
including humans–though the larvae of many moths and butterflies (order: Lepidoptera) feed …

The larvae of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L., BSFL) have received increased
industrial interest as a novel protein source for food and feed. Previous research has found …

Plant-insect interaction is a prime and evolutionarily successful association that offers an
excellent platform to understand coevolution. These interactions have spurred speciation …

The response of herbivorous insects to plant drought stress can range from positive to
negative, and it has been challenging to understand the causes of this variation. We tested …

Effector proteins play crucial roles in determining the outcome of various plant-parasite
interactions. Aphids inject salivary effector proteins into plants to facilitate phloem feeding …

Fungus-cultivating termites are successful herbivores largely rely on the external symbiotic
fungus-combs to decompose plant polysaccharides. The comb harbors both fungi and …

Specialized insect herbivores commonly co‐opt plant defences for protection against
predators, but the costs, benefits and mechanisms of sequestration are poorly understood …

Defensive chemicals of prey can be sequestered by some coevolved predators, which take
advantage of prey toxins for their own defence. The increase in the number of invasive …
