Bioturbation by black soldier fly larvae—Rapid soil formation with burial of ceramic artifacts
Fig 5
Charcoal delays development and has a negative effect on black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) pre-pupal weight.
Charcoal (A) keeps the migration of pre-pupae constant during the duration of the experiment, whereas the waste model (WM) triggers a rapid development evident in the first migration wave that further decreases in the second and third migration waves. The WM-fed pre-pupae weight is (B) higher in all migration waves when compared to pre-pupae fed with the waste model that contains charcoal (WMC). The error bars represent the 95% confidence intervals (CI). Treatments sharing a letter are not significantly different at the 5% level.
