“…To date, X-ray CT has proven to be a suitable technique to reveal the biology and ecology of elusive organisms (Jennings & Austin, 2011;Mouginot et al, 2015), diet analysis of extinct species (Collareta et al, 2015;Gill et al, 2014), and to examine nest/ colony life, development, and structure (Fuchs et al, 2004;Greco et al, 2005Greco et al, , 2006. In terms of applied studies, monitoring of pest and invasive species (Fuchs et al, 2004;Halley et al, 2005;Harrison et al, 1993;Monaenkova et al, 2015;Soné, Mori, Ide, Setoguchi, & Yamanouchi, 1995;Tarver et al, 2006), interaction between hosts and parasites (Greco et al, 2010;Schwabe et al, 2014), forensic entomology (Johnson et al, 2012), and ecotoxicological research (Brinkmann et al, 2016;Holliday & Holliday, 2012;Lind et al, 2004;Pigneret et al, 2016;Yunusa, Braun, & Lawrie, 2009) have been also benefited greatly from this technique so far.…”
