Multimarker genetic analyses of Gonimbrasia belina, the most harvested wild edible insect of mopane woodlands in southern Africa supports concerns over the sustainability of the species

2024-10-28

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The caterpillars of <italic>Gonimbrasia belina</italic>, commonly known as mopane worms, are intensively harvested for human consumption in southern Africa. Concerns over the sustainability of the species have been raised for the last two decades due to increasing demand, habitat erosion, and climate change. Despite its cultural, economic, and nutritional significance, genetic data for...
