The Morphology of the Rare Beetle Silphopsyllus desmanae (Leiodidae), a Commensal of the Semiaquatic Russian Desman. [PDF]

J Morphol
We document in detail the morphology of Silphopsyllus desmanae (Leiodidae), a commensal of the endangered semiaquatic Russian desman, and discuss it with respect to phylogeny and function. Silphopsyllus is much less adapted to life on a semiaquatic host than the closely related beaver beetle Platypsyllus.

Transformations of Head Structures During the Larval Development of the Black Soldier Fly Hermetia illucens (Stratiomyidae, Diptera). [PDF]

J Morphol
The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) has seven larval instars. Drain channels of the digestive system, metacephalic rods, and the cephalic musculature are described for the 1st time. Profound changes take place between the stages 6 and 7. ABSTRACT Larvae of the black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens, are currently intensively studied, owing to their

Holistic description of new deep sea megafauna (Cephalopoda: Cirrata) using a minimally invasive approach

BMC Biology, 2021
Background In zoology, species descriptions conventionally rely on invasive morphological techniques, frequently leading to damage of the specimens and thus only a partial understanding of their structural complexity.

Sucrose acceptance and different forms of associative learning of the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) in the field and laboratory

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2010
The experiments analyze different forms of learning and 24-h retention in the field and in the laboratory in bees that accept sucrose with either low (≤3%) or high (≥30% or ≥50%) concentrations.

Separating precipitation and evapotranspiration from noise – a new filter routine for high-resolution lysimeter data [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014
Weighing lysimeters yield the most precise and realistic measures for evapotranspiration (ET) and precipitation (P), which are of great importance for many questions regarding soil and atmospheric sciences.

A LEAP Forward in Wildlife Conservation: A Standardized Framework to Determine Mortality Causes in Large GPS-Tagged Birds. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
A novel framework for determining the causes of mortality of large GPS‐tagged birds, the LIFE EUROKITE Assessment Protocol (LEAP), was developed. LEAP integrates GPS tracking data, site investigation, and necropsy to derive mortality causes and a corresponding certainty score. Two case studies demonstrated improvements in mortality assessments compared
