Use of Injectable Eugenol for Euthanasia and Anesthesia of American Lobsters (Homarus Americanus) and Similar Species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
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]

open access: yes, 1999
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]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 1996
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.

Effects of Prawn Shell Meal Diets on Hemocyte Count, Hemolymph Clotting, and Sperm Quality of the Freshwater Prawn Macrobrachium caementarius

open access: yesAquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
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

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
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]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
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.

Unlocking the Antioxidant, Enzyme Inhibitory and Acaricidal Potential of Azadirachta indica Phytoconstituents Using In Vitro and In Silico Approaches

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
The study evaluated the acaricidal potential of bioactive components of Azadirachta indica against scabies mortality using both in vitro and in silico methodologies. Sarcoptes scabiei were stimulated with Azadirachta indica at four concentrations (25–100 mg/mL) at different intervals.

Molt and gastroliths in Austropotamobius pallipes (Lereboullet, 1858) [PDF]

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2009
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]

open access: yes, 2012
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.

Evaluating antibiosis resistance to cabbage aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae L., 1758) in vegetable brassicas (Brassica oleracea L.) and related C‐genome brassica species

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 8431-8447, December 2025.
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.
