Use of Injectable Eugenol for Euthanasia and Anesthesia of American Lobsters (Homarus Americanus) and Similar Species [PDF]
Crustaceans are economically and ecologically significant, but current treatment and diagnostic protocols for crustacean health are limited. According to standards given by the American Veterinary Medical Association there are no current methods of ...

Nonsteroidal moulting hormone agonists: effects on protein synthesis and cuticle formation in colorado potato beetle larvae. [PDF]
Larvae of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), that were orally treated with RH-0345 at 0.1 mg l?1, RH-5849 at 10 and 50 mg l?1, tebufenozide at 2 g l?1, and 20-hydroxyecdysone at 2 g l?1, showed symptoms of prematuremoulting ...

Insect physiology: The emerging story of ecdysis [PDF]
The discovery of a new insect peptide hormone that triggers ecdysis - shedding of an old cuticle - has revealed hidden layers of intricacy about an insect behavior previously thought to be mediated by a single neuropeptide.

Crustacean shells are composed of chitin, which is bound to protein and minerals, along with other essential nutrients. These components are necessary for growth, immune response, the formation of reproductive structures, and the enhancement of sperm quality.

Suppression of weed communities by granivores over time in an agroecosystem
Invertebrate granivore communities can consume numerous weed seeds in cropland, but how this granivory influences weed recruitment over time in continuous no‐till systems is unknown.

Pupil size in spider eyes is linked to post-ecdysal lens growth. [PDF]
In this study we describe a distinctive pigment ring that appears in spider eyes after ecdysis and successively decreases in size in the days thereafter.

Molt and gastroliths in Austropotamobius pallipes (Lereboullet, 1858) [PDF]
Knowledge of the molting cycle in crayfish may contribute (1) to improving a population analysis for monitoring and conservation purposes and (2) to imposing significant constraints on practices involved in culture.

The labial gene is required to terminate proliferation of identified neuroblasts in postembryonic development of the Drosophila brain [PDF]
The developing brain of Drosophila has become a useful model for studying the molecular genetic mechanisms that give rise to the complex neuronal arrays that characterize higher brains in other animals including mammals.

Nineteen Brassica accessions were screened for antibiosis resistance to Brevicoryne brassicae. Significant variation in resistance was identified. Detailed bioassays suggest that varietal effects upon aphid pre‐reproductive period conferred observed resistance.
