Genetic parameters and pedigree–based selective breeding outcomes for productivity traits in industrial black soldier fly (hermetia illucens L.) production systems

Abstract Background Selective breeding in mass-reared insects has progressed rapidly in recent years, and the black soldier fly ( Hermetia illucens L. - Diptera: Stratiomyidae), the most widely cultivated insect species for animal feed, is emerging as a strong candidate for genet...
