This study investigates how insect body size and mouth size influence microplastic ingestion and breakdown, finding that crickets consume plastics when particles can be whole-consumed and break down larger MPs as they grow.

This study shows that larger diet particle sizes increase cricket growth speed without affecting final body size, suggesting potential for improving mass rearing efficiency.

This study optimizes cricket diets using nutritional ecology to maximize yield metrics like survival and adult body size in mass rearing.
