Developmental plasticity and variability in the formation of egg-spots, a pigmentation ornament in the cichlidAstatotilapia calliptera

2023
ABSTRACTVertebrate pigmentation patterns are highly diverse, yet we have a limited understanding of how evolutionary changes to genetic, cellular, and developmental mechanisms generate variation. To address this, we examine the formation of a sexually-selected male ornament exhibiting inter- and intra-specific variation, the egg-spot pattern ...

Egg Colour Covaries with Female Expression of a Male Ornament in the Spotless Starling (Sturnus unicolor)

Ethology, 2007
AbstractThe sexually selected egg colour hypothesis (SSECH) proposes that egg colouration is as a post‐mating sexually selected signal of female phenotypic quality, maintained by a higher allocation of paternal care. Similarly, some female traits can reflect genetic quality or condition and males could use this information in mate choice or in ...

Leaf hoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) Associated with Ornamental Honey Locust: Seasonal History, Habits, and Descriptions of Eggs and Fifth Instars

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1985
The leaf hopper fauna of ornamental honey locust, Gleditsia triacanthos L., was studied in south-central Pennsylvania. Detailed life history information was obtained on Macropsis fumipennis (Gillette & Baker) and Stragania apicalis (Osborn & Ball), two species restricted to honey locust, and on Orientus ishidae (Matsumura), known to feed on several ...

Fractal analysis of the egg shell ornamentation in anostracans cysts: a quantitative approach to the morphological variations in Chirocephalus ruffoi

Hydrobiologia, 2012
The external ornamentations of the cysts in anostracans are often characterized by crests and ridges. However, their variation cannot be properly quantified by traditional morphometrics. We propose a fractal-based analysis through box-counting to evaluate and compare differences between groups.

Cold stored Acartia tonsa eggs as a new food in the ornamental aquaculture industry: a feeding study.

2011
The use of cultured copepods in intensive fish larviculture has involved both calanoids and harpacticoid but the best results have been obtained using calanoid copepods which have a higher content of HUFAs, are entirely pelagic and usually have very small naupliar stages which are more readily captured by fish larvae with small gapes at first feeding ...
