SUPERNUMERARY LARVAL INSTARS IN CYCLORRHAPHOUS DIPTERA
The Biological Bulletin, 1972 1. The developmental program for metamorphosis is determined in third instar larvae of Calliphora and Sarcophaga very early after ecdysis. The process is activated by feeding and can be delayed for many days by starvation.2. High doses of ecdysterone (20 µg per larva) injected just after ecdysis or in starved larvae cause a precocious molt and the ...

Silencing of two insulin receptor genes disrupts nymph-adult transition of alate brown citrus aphid [PDF]
, 2017 Insulin receptors play key roles in growth, development, and polymorphism in insects. Here, we report two insulin receptor genes (AcInR1 and AcInR2) from the brown citrus aphid, Aphis (Toxoptera) citricidus.

Determination of female-biased sexual size dimorphism in moths with a variable instar number: The role of additional instars [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2006 While the ultimate causes and adaptive significance of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) have been extensively studied, the developmental mechanisms behind this phenomenon have received little attention. Going through an additional larval instar may form a specific way of achieving SSD in arthropods. In the present study, the mechanisms of SSD determination

The Growth and Survival of Early Instars of \u3ci\u3eBellura Obliqua\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on \u3ci\u3eTypha Latifolia\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eTypha Angustifolia\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]
, 2017 Larvae of the noctuid moth Bellura obliqua are frequently encountered on Typha latifolia, but less commonly on Typha angustifolia. Experiments were conducted to compare the growth and survivorship of early B. obliqua instars on the two species of cattail.
