About

Nalini Puniamoorthy is an Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore. Her research focuses on the reproductive ecology and bioconversion processes of insects, particularly in relation to nutrition and environmental factors. Recent publications explore topics such as the effects of larval nutrition on reproduction in black soldier flies, the impact of rearing substrates on growth and fertility, and plasticity in mating behaviors of dung flies. Dr. Puniamoorthy's work contributes to our understanding of insect behavior and conservation in Southeast Asia.
