  1. 1. Fatty acid composition of black soldier fly larvae : impact of the rearing substrate

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

    Författare :Nils Ewald; [2018]
    Nyckelord :Black soldier fly; Hermetia illucens; fatty acids; omega-3 fatty acids; malondialdehyde; blue mussels; waste management;

    Sammanfattning : With an increasing world population and meat consumption the black soldier fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens) shows potential as feed for animals, while recycling nutrients from food waste. To produce larvae of high quality as animal feed, further understanding is needed of how the substrate affects the nutritional composition of the larvae. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Fatal attraction : do virus-infected cadavers of Spodoptera littoralis larvae attract healthy conspecifics?

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Författare :Saki Matsumoto; [2015]
    Nyckelord :Spodoptera littoralis; cannibalism; necrophagy; nucleopolyhedrovirus; horizontal transmission; Baculovirus;

    Sammanfattning : Baculoviruses manipulate insect larval behaviour by inducing increased activity and by enhancing the movement to the top of the host plant. The Spodoptera littoralis nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpliNPV) may have a large impact on larval populations and is currently used as a control method. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Predators of Plutella xylostella in Nicaragua : feeding capacity and potential role in biological control

    L3-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Ecology
