Larval predation on different instars in blowfly populations [PDF]
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2004 During its larval stage, Chrysomya albiceps (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is a facultative predator on other blowflies. In this study, we evaluated the predation by third instar larvae of C.

Cannibalism in temporary waters. Simulations and laboratory experiments revealed the role of spatial shape in the mosquito Aedes albopictus [PDF]
, 2018 Cannibalism is a commonly observed phenomenon in arthropod species having relevant consequences for population dynamics and individual fitness. It is a context-dependent behaviour and an understanding of the factors affecting cannibalism rate is crucial ...

Head Capsule Widths as an Indicator of the Larval Instar of Codling Moth (Lepidoptera: Olethreutidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Head capsule width was a reliable indicator of larval instar in a strain of Michigan codling moths, Cydia pomonella. Head capsules were 0.33, 0.50, 0.82, 1.18 and 1.55 mm in width from first to fifth instar respectively.

Parasitism of Early Instar Jack Pine Budworm (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) by Apanteles Spp. (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and Glypta Fumiferanae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Glypta fumiferanae and two species of Apanteles parasitized 1st-4th instar jack pine bud worm (Choristoneura pinus). Apparent parasitism of budworm in four Michigan populations ranged from 10.6 to 30.9% for A. fumiferanae, 4.3-16.4% for A. morrisi, and 2.

Optimization of Artemia Feed Regimes for Larval Giant Kōkopu (Galaxias argenteus)
Fishes, 2023 Optimizing the initial live feed is critical to success in fish larviculture in terms of both larval health and productivity. It is also vitally important due to the significant cost of provisioning live feeds.
