Standardizing and Optimizing Rearing Methods of Animal Models: Influence of Diet on Growth and Reproduction in Xiphophorus Maculatus and Oryzias latipes
… of a previous study using the same materials and methods as the original researchers. Fish models of human diseases have become more popular in the last thirty years. However, husbandry practices affect the reproducibility of a study. In most laboratories, fish are reared on a custom blend of live …

The impact of Tomicobia tibialis (Hymenoptera : pteromalidae) on the pine engraver, Ips pini (Coleoptera : scolytidae)
… from parasitism can be substantial. Laboratory rearing methods for T. tibialis using pine logs were also established, and an attempt to rear these parasitoids from beetles held on artificial medium was made. In sum, it is possible to rear this parasitoid and the impact on its host beetle is …

Rearing density effects on premigrant traits of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
… were undertaken to determine if a high larval rearing density produces premigrant traits, and if these traits can be used as criteria for separating nonpremigrant from premigrant groups. An increase in larval rearing density significantly decreased pupal weight and forewing width in the …
