Ontogenesis and functional morphology of the digestive system of the freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium amazonicum (Decapoda: Palaemonidae)

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2011
The appropriate feeding regime for larvae and post-larvae of crustacean decapods is essential for successful larval culture. Reports on the development and morphology of the mouthparts and foregut of these crustaceans have aided in the selection of ...

Post‐introduction evolution in the biological control agent Longitarsus jacobaeae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Evolutionary Applications, 2012
Rapid evolution has rarely been assessed in biological control systems despite the similarity with biological invasions, which are widely used as model systems. We assessed post‐introduction climatic adaptation in a population of Longitarsus jacobaeae, a

The effect of salinity on larval development of Uca tangeri (Eydoux, 1835) (Brachyura: Ocypodidae) and new findings of the zoeal morphology

Scientia Marina, 2009
In order to evaluate their tolerance to low salinities, zoeae of the fiddler crab Uca tangeri from the Rio San Pedro population (southwestern Spain) were reared in the laboratory at 20ºC and at three salinities (16, 24 and 32).

Physical and Chemical Barriers in the Larval Midgut Confer Developmental Resistance to Virus Infection in Drosophila

Viruses, 2021
Insects can become lethally infected by the oral intake of a number of insect-specific viruses. Virus infection commonly occurs in larvae, given their active feeding behaviour; however, older larvae often become resistant to oral viral infections.

Effects of Temperature and Bacillus velezensis on the Development, Longevity, and Reproduction of Culex quinquefasciatus

Biology
Temperature is a key environmental factor that influences mosquito phenotypic traits and the effectiveness of vector control strategies. Bacillus velezensis (Bv) has shown promise as a microbial biocontrol agent due to its insecticidal properties ...

Suppression of Brugia malayi (sub-periodic) larval development in Aedes aegypti (Liverpool strain) fed on blood of animals immunized with microfilariae

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2005
Preliminary studies were carried out to investigate the role of filarial specific antibodies, raised in an animal model against the filarial parasite, Brugia malayi (sub-periodic), in blocking their early development in an experimental mosquito host ...

Pollen diet for in vitro rearing of africanized honey bee larvae, Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Bioscience Journal, 2013
Pollen is the major protein source for honey bees, Apis mellifera. It is essential for the adults to produce royal jelly to feed the larvae. Young larvae receive the brood food, whereas the older (over 3 days old) larvae receive pollen in addition to ...

Early Succession of Community Structures and Biotic Interactions of Gut Microbes in Eriocheir sinensis Megalopa after Desalination

Microorganisms
As an enduring Chinese freshwater aquaculture product, the Eriocheir sinensis has a high economic value and is characterized by a catadromous life style that undergoes seawater–freshwater migration.

Delayed reception of live blowfly (Calliphora vicina and Chrysomya rufifacies) larval samples: implications for minimum postmortem interval estimates

Forensic Sciences Research, 2018
Forensic entomology evidence collected by police and mortuary staff may be delayed in getting to the entomologist. Live samples may continue developing and alter minimum postmortem interval (PMImin) estimates.
