Preimaginal mortality of Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae) due to Habronema muscae (Nematoda: Habronematidae)

open access: yesHelminthologia, 2017
In order to study the damage of Habronema muscae (Carter, 1861) on its intermediate host, Musca domestica Linnaeus, 1758, fly larval feeding experiments were carried out. For this, a defined number of praeimaginal stages of M.

Developmental and Transcriptomic Responses in Sea Urchin Larvae to an Urban‐Associated Pollutant

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Urban environments provide a unique opportunity to investigate the impacts of novel stressors on organismal performance. Marine intertidal zones exist at the transition from sea to land, where they are exposed to a unique suite of stressors, including ...

Pearl's causality for integrating ecological datasets: A case study on Myricaria germanica in northern Italy

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Applied ecology can significantly influence policy decisions on environmental issues. Therefore, research in this field should be as transparent and reproducible as possible. Existing expertise from a broad range of disciplines should also be integrated into ecological research to allow researchers to maximize understanding of complex ...

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

THE USE OF COMPLETE FEED FOR FISH IN ZOOCULTURE OF BUFOTES TOADS (AMPHIBIA, ANURA, BUFONIDAE)

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений. Поволжский регион: Естественные науки, 2020
Background. The actual problem of amphibian zooculture is the development of rational feeding of larvae. In recent years, for this purpose began to use feed for fish. One of the feeds that have shown high efficiency for amphibian larvae is “Tetra Marine

Comparative and functional anatomy of masticatory muscles and bite force in opossums (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

Analysis of Elimination Effects of Inbreeding on Genotype Frequency in Larval Stages of Chinese Shrimp

open access: yesBiology
Marine animals possess genomes of considerable complexity and heterozygosity. Their unique reproductive system, characterized by high fecundity and substantial early mortality rates, increases the risk of inbreeding, potentially leading to severe ...
