The lipidome of an omnivorous insect responds to diet composition and social environment

“…In addition, the excess nitrogen in the protein‐rich diet could be detrimental for female crickets due to nitrogen toxicity reported in other insect species (Cook et al, 2010; Dussutour & Simpson, 2012). Also in this context, the lower lipid reserves in male crickets (evidenced in this study) and the overall higher metabolism may partially explain the relatively shorter lifespan of male A. domesticus than that of females (Gutiérrez et al, 2021; Visanuvimol & Bertram, 2011).…”

Understanding the Dynamics of Sex-Specific Responses Driven by Grassland Management: Using Syrphids as a Model Insect Group

“…Sex-specific responses in insects refer to the different behaviors, physiological characteristics, and ecological roles exhibited by males and females of the same insect species [31]. Grassland management, which involves modifying and maintaining the environment to support specific species or communities, can have significant impacts on insect populations, including their sex-specific responses [32].…”
