Effects of food availability on larval development during ontogenetic niche shift in a marine annelid [PDF]

Open Biology
Many marine invertebrates have a biphasic life cycle with a free-swimming larva and a bottom-dwelling adult. The transition from a planktonic to a benthic lifestyle is a significant step in the animal’s life history, highly regulated and influenced by ...

Lifecycle Completion and Reproductive Improvement of Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), Following a Prey Shift Routine During Larval Development [PDF]

Biology
The present study aimed to assess the lifecycle completion and reproductive improvement of green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), larval instars in a prey shift routine while alternatively feeding on motiles of two-spotted spider mite ...

Live yeasts accelerate Drosophila melanogaster larval development.

J Exp Biol
ABSTRACT Insect guts house a complex community of microbes that affect host physiology, performance and behavior. Gut microbiome research has largely focused on bacteria–host symbioses and paid less attention to other taxa, such as yeasts.

Serotonin stimulates Echinococcus multilocularis larval development [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
AbstractBackgroundSerotonin is a phylogenetically ancient molecule that is widely distributed in most metazoans, including flatworms. In addition to its role as a neurotransmitter, serotonin acts as a morphogen and regulates developmental processes. Although several studies have focused on the serotonergic nervous system in parasitic flatworms, little ...

Developing retinotectal projection in larval goldfish [PDF]

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1989
AbstractThe retinotectal projection in larval goldfish was studied with the aid of anterograde filling of optic fibers with HRP applied to the retina. The results show that optic fibers have already reached the tectum and begun to form terminal arbors in newly hatched fish.

Cannibalism and Necrophagy Promote a Resource Loop and Benefit Larval Development in Insects of Temporary Waters

Insects, 2021
Temporary aquatic habitats are contingent on the allochthonous inputs of plant and animal detritus, whose quality and availability can significantly affect the species developing in these habitats.

Metabolomic analysis reveals a differential adaptation process of the larval stages of Anisakis simplex to the host environment

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
Introduction:Anisakis simplex are parasitic nematodes that cause anisakiasis. The possibility of infection with this parasite is through consumption of raw or undercooked fish products. A.

Effect of Dietary Components on Larval Life History Characteristics in the Medfly (Ceratitis capitata: Diptera, Tephritidae) [PDF]

, 2013
Background: The ability to respond to heterogenous nutritional resources is an important factor in the adaptive radiation of insects such as the highly polyphagous Medfly.

Notes on Brood Morphology and the Development of the Neotropical Eusocial Wasp Mischocyttarus cerberus (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Polistinae)

Sociobiology, 2020
Mischocyttarus cerberus stands out among the most investigated species of the eusocial paper wasp, in Brazil. While the adult characteristics were relatively well reported in the earlier studies, very meager information was available regarding their ...

Phage Therapy for Mosquito Larval Control: a Proof-of-Principle Study

mBio, 2022
The mosquito microbiota has a profound impact on multiple biological processes ranging from reproduction to disease transmission. Interestingly, the adult mosquito microbiota is largely derived from the larval microbiota, which in turn is dependent on ...
