Distribution of First Instar Gypsy Moths (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) Among Saplings of Four Tree Species Common in the Great Lakes Region [PDF]
We examined the inter-tree distribution of first instar gypsy moth larvae under natural dispersal conditions in the field in Michigan in 1991. The study focused on saplings of northern red oak (Quercus rubra), white oak (Q. alba), red maple (Acer rubrum),

Dusky-like (Dyl) is a transmembrane protein containing a zona pellucida domain. Its physiological roles during metamorphosis have been well explored in Drosophila melanogaster and have also been documented in Tribolium castaneum.

LARVAL SPECIFIC CHARACTERS AND INSTARS OF ENGLISH BOMBIDAE
FOURTH instar larval characters of American BOMBIDAE (BREMIDAE) were described by Ritcher (1933) for nine species of Bombus (Bremus) and one species of Psithyrus. These two genera were separated on the shape of the mandibles. An attempt was made to separate the species of Bombus (Bremus) on the characters of the mesothoracical spiracles and the pleural

Larval description and phylogenetic placement of the Australian endemic genus Barretthydrus Lea, 1927 (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae: Hydroporinae: Hydroporini: Sternopriscina) [PDF]
The larvae of the Australian endemic species Barretthydrus tibialis Lea, 1927 and Barretthydrus geminatus Lea, 1927 are described and illustrated for the first time, with detailed morphometric and chaetotaxic analyses of the cephalic capsule, head ...

Emerging evidence suggests that intraneuronal Aβ accumulation represents an early pathogenic event in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using Drosophila AD model, this study shows that a nonsecreted serine protease Yip7 physically interacts with Aβ. This causes intraneuronal Aβ accumulation but surprisingly reduces the associated neurotoxicity, arguing that ...

Microbial Gut Diversity of Africanized and European Honey Bee Larval Instars
The first step in understanding gut microbial ecology is determining the presence and potential niche breadth of associated microbes. While the core gut bacteria of adult honey bees is becoming increasingly apparent, there is very little and inconsistent information concerning symbiotic bacterial communities in honey bee larvae.
