A series of experiments were conducted to compare the susceptibility of P. regina larvae reared in isolation or in groups to the effects of diet-borne metabolic inhibitors: chlorogenic acid (CGA) and mimosine. Larvae were presented with diets containing 0.4 mM CGA or 0.4 mM CGA in combination with 22 mM lysine or methionine or with diets containing 1.5, 15 or 30 mM concen- trations of mimosine. Methionine and CGA caused significantly reduced pupal weights when compared with larvae presented…

Effects of Larval Population Density and Food Type on the Life Cycle of Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae)
TLDR
Increasing larval density and nutrient content of food led to changes in the larval and pupal development time of M. domestica and the weight of pupae and adult survival was negatively affected by increasing larvaldensity.
Entomotoxicological and Thermal Factors Affecting the Development of Forensically Important Flies
TLDR
A final study compared weather data sources, Accumulated Degree-Day (ADD) methods, and postmortem interval (PMI) estimations based on threshold and developmental data source to determine the effects on PMI estimates.
Effect of larval nutrition on the hemolymph protein composition during metamorphosis of Anastrepha obliqua.
TLDR
The particle size of the bulking agent of the food matrix changes the bioavailability of protein in hemolymph in the adult regardless of the total concentration of protein.
Developmental niche construction in necrophagous larval societies: Feeding facilitation can offset the costs of low ambient temperature
TLDR
It is observed that 22°C aggregated Diptera larvae actually grew as fast as if they were at 33°C, which shows that niche construction, here resulting from larval gregarism and feeding facilitation, can compensate for the physiological costs of low ambient temperature.
Influence of larval density and dietary nutrient concentration on performance, body protein, and fat contents of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens)
TLDR
This study indicates that larval protein content is regulated within narrow limits, whereas larval crude fat content is strongly affected by nutrient concentration and by larval density.
Oviposition Preference and Larval Performance of Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae), Spotted-Wing Drosophila: Effects of Fruit Identity and Composition
TLDR
It is found that fruit chemical compounds can explain part of the effect of fruit on D. suzukii traits, and the consensus across studies is that raspberry, blackberry, and strawberry are among the best hosts while blackcurrant, grape and rose hips are poor hosts.
Temperature-modified density effects in the black soldier fly: low larval density leads to large size, short development time and high fat content
TLDR
It is concluded that density and temperature and their interaction-related effects during larval development considerably affect BSF larval life-history traits and should be carefully considered when planning for insect mass rearing.
Impact of Climatic Factors on the Population Density of Spider Mites ( Acari : Tetranychidae ) Infesting Hedge Bamboos
Bambusa multiplex (Lour.) Raeusch. ex Schult. & Schult. f. is an easy to maintain, hedge bamboo, as well as being very hardy, clumping variety, it is by far the best bamboo for growing potted…
Collective exodigestion favours blow fly colonization and development on fresh carcasses
Seasonal Distribution Pattern of Spider Mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) Infesting Bamboos in Malappuram, Kerala
TLDR
Season fluctuations and population density of spider mites have been discussed, based on data collected during one year period of November, 2012 to October, 2013, on two species of bamboo viz.

Diet nutriment and rearing density affect the growth of black blowfly larvae, Phormia regina (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
TLDR
Larvae of Phormia regina (Meigen) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) were reared, in isolation, upon either lamb's liver or meridic diets that varied in protein- and carbohydrate-content, which resulted in an extended larval period and increased mortality and reduced pupal weights.
The Nutritional Requirements of the Larvae of a Blowfly, Phormia regina (Meig.)

Developmental inhibition ofSpodoptera litura (Fab.) larvae by a novel caffeoylquinic acid from the wild groundnut,Arachis paraguariensis (Chod et Hassl.)
TLDR
A novel compound, 1-caffeoyl-4-deoxyquinic acid (1-CdQA) has been identified and may provide useful genetic markers in future breeding for resistance to this pest.
The identification and characterization of resistance in wild species of Arachis to Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
TLDR
Observations of larval behaviour indicated that, overall, larvae were deterred from feeding on the leaves of the wild species, and there was a negative correlation between toughness of whole leaves and larval development.
Growth Inhibition of the Cotton Bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) Larvae by Caffeoylquinic Acids from the Wild Groundnut, Arachis paraguariensis
TLDR
The effect on the larval development of Helicoverpa armigera of caffeoylquinic acids and their structural units, caffeic acid and quinic acid, was evaluated and the potential role of these substances in host plant resistance of groundnuts and their interaction with other components of pest management strategies are discussed.
A simple larval diet for population studies on the blowfly Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
TLDR
Increasing larval density significantly reduced the weights of pupae and emergent adults (by up to 50%), both on the blood‐agar‐yeast diet and the lamb meat control, though survival on lamb was not significantly affected by density.

Comparative Studies on the Blowfly, Lucilia Caesar (Diptera, Calliphoridae) Reared from three Rearing media Prepared from Local Materials, and the Standard Snyder’s Medium
TLDR
Morphometrics of the adults showed that those rearing from the GSPL and control media were longer, heavier, and laid significantly more eggs per female than adults reared from PNCL and GSP media, which was considered to be the most suitable alternative to MYA.

A Comparison of Proteases Produced by Larvae of Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann), L. sericata (Meigen), Calliphora augur (F.) and C. stygia (F.) (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
TLDR
Proteases produced by larvae of four blowfly species were compared using isoelectric focusing gels and zymogram overlays and interspecific differences were found: the protease patterns produced by the two Lucilia species were closer than those of the two calliphorids.
