The implications of temperature-mediated plasticity in larval instar number for development within a marine invertebrate, the shrimp Palaemonetes varians. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Variations in larval instar number are common among arthropods. Here, we assess the implications of temperature-mediated variations in larval instar number for larval development time, larval growth rates, and juvenile dry weight within the palaemonid ...

Intra-instar larval cannibalism in Anopheles gambiae (s.s.) and Anopheles stephensi (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2016 Background Cannibalism has been observed in a wide range of animal taxa and its importance in persistence and stability of populations has been documented. In anopheline malaria vectors the inter-instar cannibalism between fourth- and first-instar larvae

Parasite, 2001 Oestrus caucasicus (Grunin, 1948) is a larval parasite of the nasal cavities of Capra caucasica, Capra ibex and Capra pyrenaica. This study is the first description of the parasite using scanning electron microscopy.

Determination of the Larval Instar Numbers of the Ectropis grisescens at Different Temperatures [PDF]
Chaye kexueEctropis grisescens is one of the most harmful pests in tea plantations, characterized by its frequent annual occurrences and considerable damage. The understanding of the larval instar number remains still elusive.

Analyzing muscle structure and function throughout the larval instars in live Drosophila [PDF]
STAR Protocols, 2021 Drosophila larval musculature is a genetically and optically accessible system to study muscle development. Each larval muscle is a single fiber with conserved cytoarchitecture, including its sarcomere structure and composition. Here, we present a workflow for systematically analyzing muscle structure and function at discrete larval stages, as well as ...

Cumulative effect of HaNPV against Helicoverpa armigera infesting Chickpea
Environment Conservation Journal, 2016 The instar-wise larval mortality in H. armigera due to HaNPV @ 0.500 ml/l showed a consistent decrease in all the five instars and cent per cent larval mortality was recorded in the first instar larvae.

Journal of Limnology, 2018 Except for one unconfirmed case, chironomid larvae have been reported to pass through four larval instars between egg and pupal stages. We have observed a fifth larval instar to be a standard life-cycle feature of the podonomine Trichotanypus alaskensis ...

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2020 The natural parasitic behavior of parasitoids should be known by those in charge of planning strategies for the biological control of pests; therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the larval instar of Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner ...

Lepidopteran Larval Midgut During Prepupal Instar: Digestion or Self-Digestion? [PDF]
Autophagy, 2007 Programmed cell death (PCD) is crucial in body restructuring during metamorphosis of holometabolous insects (those that have a pupal stage between the final larval and adult stages). Besides apoptosis, an increasing body of evidence indicates that in several insect species programmed autophagy also plays a key role in these developmental processes.
