A note on the population genetic consequences of delayed larval development in insects

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2013
Observations by Dobzhansky's group in the 1940s suggesting that the presence of recessive genotypes could account for lower larval developmental rates in Drosophila melanogaster were not confirmed at the time and all subsequent investigations on this ...

Larval Development: Making Ants into Soldiers [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2019
Many ant species have complex caste systems, with reproductive queens and sterile workers, which often play distinct roles in the maintenance and defense of the colony. A new study sheds light on how these worker caste systems evolved and the mechanisms by which totipotent larvae give rise to the alternative adult castes.

Alizarin red S staining of the crustacean cuticle: implementation in the study of Porcellio scaber larvae

open access: yesActa Biologica Slovenica, 2013
Exoskeletal cuticle of crustaceans is a chitinous matrix, produced apically by epidermis and stiffened by sclerotization and calcification. Embryos of terrestrial isopod crustacean Porcellio scaber develop within the female brood pouch, marsupium, and ...

Intraspecific competition in the speckled wood butterfly Pararge aegeria: Effect of rearing density and gender on larval life history

open access: yesJournal of Insect Science, 2004
In insects, the outcome of intraspecific competition for food during development depends primarily upon larval density and larval sex, but effects will also depend on the particular trait under consideration and the species under study.

Impacts of Dietary Nutritional Composition on Larval Development and Adult Body Composition in the Yellow Fever Mosquito (Aedes aegypti)

open access: yesInsects, 2020
Background: the mosquito Aedes aegypti (Ae. aegypti) is an important vector of arboviruses, including Zika, Dengue, and Chikungunya. The dietary requirements of larval Ae.

Incorporation of Radioiodine into the Developing Endostyle of the Larval Lamprey. (developing endostyle/radioiodine-incorporation/larval lamprey) [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopment, Growth and Differentiation, 1982
Incorporation of radioiodine (131 I- ) into small larvae of the Japanese river lamprey, 14 days after fertilization, was studied by radioautography. A small amount of radioiodine was incorporated into the larvae and became located in the mid-dorsal region of endostylar cells.

Growth performance and fatty acid composition of mealworm (Tenebrio molitor L.) fed Washingtonia Filifera (Lindl.) H.Wendl. fruit powder [PDF]

open access: yesArquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia
The use of agricultural byproducts as alternative feed ingredients is increasing due to their low cost and sustainability. Fruits of Washingtonia filifera (OPF) represent an underutilized resource with potential to partially replace wheat bran (WB) in ...

LARVAL DEVELOPMENT OF PALAEMONETES PUGIO HOLTHUIS ,

open access: yesThe Biological Bulletin, 1957
1. Palaemonetes pugio Hobthuis and Palaemonetes vulgaris (Say) were reared in the laboratory from eggs through metamorphosis.2. The larvae of these species are very nearly identical except for a pair of chromatophores found on abdominal sternite 2 of P. pugio but lacking from P. vulgaris.

Phenylalanine Hydroxylase RNAi Knockdown Negatively Affects Larval Development, Molting and Swimming Performance of Salmon Lice

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) is a crucial enzyme involved in tyrosine biosynthesis, having roles in neurological and physiological processes. The purpose of PAH has received little attention in crustaceans despite extensive investigations in other ...
