Insect pests of stored products are organisms that damage agricultural products in fields or warehouses and cause a lot of product loss. For this reason, it is an important problem to protect the products in warehouses after harvest. Producers and researchers try many chemical methods to prevent this damage in warehouses. However, in recent years, as the harm of these chemicals to the environment and mammalian health has been understood, researchers have been trying to find different methods. Insects develop more and more resistance to these chemicals, as they adapt to the environment very quickly. For this reason, the biology and physiology of insects must be well known before the fight against these insects. The better the biology and physiology of these insects are known, the more new methods can be developed for integrated control methods against this insect. Since insects are poicliothermic, that is, dependent on changes in environmental temperatures, temperature is very important in their development. Another factor affecting the developmental stages of the insect is nutrient. Temperature and food together can limit insect developmental stages. While high temperatures prolong developmental stages, they can have the opposite effect on longevity. Or, insects feeding on poor quality nutrient can affect egg size, adult size, or horn and cuticle development, as seen in some Coleopters. In this review study, the effects of temperature and nutrient on the biology and physiology of storage product pest Coleopters were evaluated.

“…Cold storage of pupae at 4 ℃ for 15 days increased mortality (75%) and adult deformity (nearly 70%), compared to only 1 day (Sömnez and Koç, 2019). Similarly, increasing the amount of time larvae were in cold storage at 4 ℃ increased mortality and adult deformation rates, with especially dramatic effects for young larvae (Sömnez, 2021). As prolonged cold storage at 4 °C is frequently fatal, or results in behavior-relevant morphological deformities, it is not recommended for YM welfare.…”

Yellow mealworms (Tenebrio molitor; Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) are currently the most farmed holometabolous insect species in the insects as food and feed industry, with over 300 billion individual mealworms reared annually. Yellow mealworm larvae are being developed for potential uses as human protein, pet, livestock and fish feed, reclamation of mycotoxin-contaminated grains, and more. Insect welfare is of great interest to consumers, producers, and academics; yet no studies have considered the species-specific welfare concerns of farmed yellow mealworms under current industry conditions. Following a model for considering farmed insect welfare, we explore factors related to yellow mealworm welfare in commercial rearing facilities, including: interspecific interactions (including predators, parasites, and pathogens), abiotic conditions (temperature, hydration, atmospheric gasses, lighting), nutrition (including pollutants and hormones), intraspecific concerns (genetics, morphological defects, cannibalism, density, mating and oviposition needs, and handling-associated stress), and slaughter and depopulation methods (including anesthesia). We discuss the current major and minor welfare concerns in the industry and future concerns that may appear as the industry continues to grow. We make recommendations for improving mealworm welfare and discuss future research directions that are necessary to better understand the welfare of this species.
