• HPLC sugar analysis reveals the nutritional state and the feeding history of parasitoids (2004, background): “is surprising, as insects in general are thought to metabolize glucose into trehalose, which is often referred as the 'insect blood sugar' (Blum 1985; Thompson 2003).”
• A Review of Carbohydrate Nutrition and Metabolism in Crustaceans (2016, background): “But for insects, the blood sugar concentration is not regulated in a homeostatic manner (Thompson 2003).”
