Short communication: Substantial heritability of larval size in the black soldier fly reveals potential for selective breeding

An underutilised tool to optimise the production of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens L.; Diptera: Stratiomyidae) is selective breeding. We validated that larval size is moderately heritable and should, therefore, respond to selection. We tested this premise by estimating additive genetic...
