The Insect Welfare Research Society publishes annually-revised guidelines
The Insect Welfare Research Society publishes invertebrate refinement guidelines. The IWRS guidelines focus on the application of the principle of refinement to laboratory, field, classroom, and production research with insects and decapod crustaceans. For non-IWRS guidelines on the care and welfare of cephalopods in research, see Fiorito et al. 2015.
