Our team at the Great Lakes Forestry Centre (Insect Production and Quarantine Laboratories (IPQL)) produces laboratory-reared insects and artificial insect diets that are available to purchase for research purposes. The IPQL maintains a number of insect colonies that have existed since the founding of the Great Lakes Forestry Centre. The IPQL consists of an insectarium, a quality control facility, a methods development laboratory and a quarantine facility.
