Abstract In animal breeding programs, utilizing quantitative genetic designs such as the full-/half-sibling design is fundamental. A full-/half-sibling design demands that mating can be controlled, and individuals can be tracked, enabling construction of a pedigree.

Abstract In animal breeding programs, utilizing quantitative genetic designs such as the full-/half-sibling design is fundamental. A full-/half-sibling design demands that mating can be controlled, and individuals can be tracked for the construction of a pedigree. In nature, black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.) males are reported to gather in lekking groups to engage in competitive displays and courtship rituals before mating.

1 INTRODUCTION Global climate change poses an unprecedented threat to our planet's biological diversity (Thomas et al., 2004), with temperatures predicted to continue to increase and become more extreme in future decades and centuries (IPCC, 2022). It is of central importance to understand the responses of organisms to such changes and how these can vary across regions, and to predict the consequences for biodiversity broadly.
