The black soldier fly is the 'crown jewel'of the insects as feed industry. Over the past two
decades, a tremendous amount of research has been published on larval development …

Being overweight increases the risk of many metabolic disorders, but how it affects lifespan
is not completely clear. Not all obese people become ill, and the exact mechanism that turns …

Animal nutrition is profoundly influenced by the gut microbiota, but knowledge of the scope
and core mechanisms of the underlying animal–microbiota interactions is fragmentary. To …

Modest dietary restriction extends lifespan (LS) in a diverse range of taxa and typically has a
larger effect in females than males. Traditionally, this has been attributed to a stronger trade …

High-sugar diets cause thirst, obesity, and metabolic dysregulation, leading to diseases
including type 2 diabetes and shortened lifespan. However, the impact of obesity and water …

The effects of sucrose in varied concentrations (0.25–20%) with constant amount of yeasts in
larval diet on development and metabolic parameters of adult fruit fly Drosophila …

Fruit flies have eight identified Drosophila insulin-like peptides (DILPs) that are involved in
the regulation of carbohydrate concentrations in hemolymph as well as in accumulation of …

In this study, we tested whether a standardized epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) rich
green tea extract (comprising> 90% EGCG) affects fitness and lifespan as well as …

Since its arrival to North America less than a decade ago, the invasive Spotted‐Wing
Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) has inflicted substantial economic losses on soft fruit …

During the last 20 years, there has been a considerable scientific debate about the possible
