Effects of dietary protein and carbohydrate on life‐history traits and body protein and fat contents of the black soldier fly Hermetia illucens (2019, background): “…on the balance between proteins and digestible carbohydrates and its effect on insect performance focus on grasshoppers, caterpillars, larval beetles, aphids and cockroaches (Waldbauer & Bhattacharya, 1973; Simpson et al., 1988; Raubenheimer & Simpson, 2003; Behmer, 2009; Roeder & Behmer, 2014).”
Foraging behaviour and preference of pollen sources by honey bee (Apis mellifera) relative to protein contents (2020, background): “To cite some examples, protein to carbohydrate ratio is commonly found to be associated with nutrient regulation in herbivores (Lee et al., 2006; Behmer, 2009); however, in bees, protein to lipid ratio has also been found effective to figure out the preference (Vaudo et al., 2016; Donkersley et al.…”
Pollen nutrients better explain bumblebee colony development than pollen diversity (2017, background): “Moreover, because different insect species are known to have different nutritional targets (Behmer, 2009), more investigations are needed concerning other bumblebee species than B. terrestris.”
The nature of nutrition: a unifying framework (2011, background): “The complication for social animals such as ants is that a minority of individuals collects the food for the colony, and these foragers have very different nutritional requirements to other members of their colony (Cassill and Tschinkel 1999; Behmer 2009).”
The Importance of Phytoplankton Biomolecule Availability for Secondary Production (2017, background): “In nature, there is often a mismatch between the metabolic requirements of consumers and nutritional quality of producers, and this typically results in reduced somatic growth and reproduction of grazers (Boersma and Elser, 2006; Behmer, 2009; Hessen et al., 2013).”
Temperature‐by‐nutrient interactions affecting growth rate in an insect ectotherm (2010, background): “…relationship has been observed between organismal performance and nutrition especially when the balance between the intakes of protein and digestible carbohydrate is concerned (Raubenheimer & Simpson, 1997; Lee et al., 2002, 2008; Simpson et al., 2004; Raubenheimer et al., 2009; Behmer, 2009).”
Colony-level macronutrient regulation in ants: mechanisms, hoarding and associated costs (2010, background): “At the colony level, feedback related to larval nutritional demands (especially for protein), transmitted through a ‘chain-of-demand’ between brood, nurse workers and foragers, and created through colony member food sharing is likely to be important (Cassill et al. 1998; Cassill & Tschinkel 1999b; B”
Herbivory mediated by coupling between biomechanical traits of plants and grasshoppers (2013, background): “However, plant macronutrient and secondary compound contents also impose their own selection pressures (Behmer, Simpson & Raubenheimer 2002; Behmer 2008), and the interplay between biochemical and biomechanical traits may allow many Table 3.”
Lifetime consequences of food protein-carbohydrate content for an insect herbivore (2014, background): “Functional Ecology © 2014 British Ecological Society, Functional Ecology, 28, 1135–1143 protein deficits (Behmer 2009).”
Self‐medication in insects: current evidence and future perspectives (2014, background): “Tannic acid is normally harmful when consumed, but locusts provided with an optimal ratio of protein to carbohydrate did not experience any deleterious effects of consuming tannic acid (reviewed in Behmer, 2009).”
