Is the endophyte‐based plant protection against aphids mediated by changes in the insect microbiome? We showed that the fungal endophyte Epichloë strain AR37 increased the plant resistance against aphids via the production of indole diterpene alkaloids. The reduction in aphid performance was not ass...

Bridging lab and industry: The impact of a bio‐conversion unit on black soldier fly larvae production and microbiome dynamics Background This study evaluates the viability of a novel bio-conversion unit (BCU) for extensive black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) production as a sustainable feed additive for livestock. The BCU's ef...

Excited to share our new open-access paper in JSFA Reports: “Bridging Lab & Industry: Impact of a Bio-Conversion Unit on #BSFL Production & Microbiome” Congrats to @WedwardsSci on his first @TsaousisLab paper. #Insectmicrobiome #AgTech
