The high cost of fish feed has affected the culturing tilapias and sharptooth catfish in Africa. However, Africa is well endowed with terrestrial insects that can potentially replace fishmeal diets fish. In this paper, nutritional index, availability, selected insect meals are compared. SOLVER function Excel was used to formulate least-cost Musca domestica, Gryllotalpa africana, Schistocerca gr...

The monophyly and phylogenetic relationships of the family Gryllotalpidae were researched. Twenty-six in-group taxa, representing all known genera of Gryllotalpidae were included in a cladistic analysis, based on 89, morphological characters (including genital characters of the males). The different analyses of the resulting data matrix supported the monophyly of Scapteriscinae and Gryllotalpin...

Information for identifying biodiversity hotspots species conservation involves the estimation of abundance, distribution and habitat preference. Adult crickets were sampled from four Agro ecological zones (AEZ) in Western Kenya during months June 2020 to January 2021 identified morphologically. Thirteen descriptive variables associated with topography, water, greenness, used create a model. Ak...

Most orthopteran insects are phytophagous and some important pests in agriculture forests.
