Abstract

Behavioural research and its applications has a rich history in science with direct applications continuing to expand global understanding of ecosystem function, structure, and evolution. The same can be said for such research as related to the applied sciences including entomology. The purpose of this article is to provide context to various approaches for assessing behaviour of insects that are mass produced for food and feed. By using the black soldier fly as a model, various approaches for conducting such research are explored along with providing some perspective on the value of such data for optimising insect production. However, it should be noted that this article is not exhaustive with regards to variables that can be examined, or the methods employed.
