Morphology of the First Instar of the House Fly Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2008
Scanning electron microscopy documentation of the first instar of Musca domestica L. is presented for the first time. The following morphological structures are documented: antenna, maxillary palpus, facial mask, spinulation, posterior spiracles, anal pad, and integumental micropores. Morphology of the first-instar larva of M. domestica is discussed in

Control of melanization in first instar larvae of Schistocerca gregaria

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1976
Melanization in first-instar larvae of Schistocerca is controlled by a hormone released from neurosecretory axon terminals of the fine nerves posterior to the metathoracic ganglion. The hormone is not detectable in the haemolymph before the embryonic ecdysis but is present within seconds after the ecdysis has started.

Dispersal of first-instar gypsy moth larvae in relation to population quality

Oecologia, 1976
Field studies of dispersal by first instar gypsy moth larvae indicate that almost all larvae undergo an initial dispersal episode. However, in laboratory studies large larvae (from large eggs) disperse more frequently than small larvae (from small eggs) in the presence of favored food. Large larvae may be better adapted for dispersal.

Egg size, first instar behaviour and the ecology of Lepidoptera

Journal of Zoology, 1992
There is striking variation in egg size among Lepidoptera. Part of the explanation could be a link between egg size and larval feeding ecology.The relationship between absolute egg size and aspects of feeding ecology for different Lepidoptera families from different temperate regions is examined.

Intraspecific competition among first instars of the parasitic wasp Biosteres longicaudatus

Oecologia, 1988
Females of the solitary endoparasitic wasp Biosteres longicaudatus sometimes deposit >1 egg (superparasitism) in each larva of the Caribbean fruit fly host, Anastrepha suspensa. As host density increases, there is an inverse relationship between the level of superparasitism and the number of progeny produced/female.

The first instar larva of Apodacra pulchra (Diptera: Sarcophagidae, Miltogramminae)

Insect Systematics & Evolution, 2005
AbstractThe morphology of the first instar larva of the miltogrammine flesh fly Apodacra pulchra Egger, 1861 is described using SEM and light microscopy. The larva is shown to possess a strongly modified pseudocephalon with comb-like lateral processes, a large ventral organ, and a transversely enlarged, slit-like (or ⊥-shaped) functional mouth opening.
