Some proposed emendations to larval morphology terminology
CHIRONOMUS Journal of Chironomidae Research, 2012 Despite the publication of an intended consistent terminology for the morphology of chironomid larvae (Saether 1980) as applied in Wiederholm et al (1983), two areas have remained controversial, with inconsistently applied terminology. The first and perhaps most confusing concerns the dorsal head sclerites, the second, the terminology of the mandibular

THE EVOLUTION OF LARVAL MORPHOLOGY AND SWIMMING PERFORMANCE IN ASCIDIANS [PDF]
Evolution, 2004 The complexity of organismal function challenges our ability to understand the evolution of animal locomotion. To meet this challenge, we used a combination of biomechanics, phylogenetic comparative analyses, and theoretical morphology to examine evolutionary changes in body shape and how those changes affected swimming performance in ascidian larvae ...

Larval morphology ofMetaphycus flavusand its role in host attachment and larval cannibalism [PDF]
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 2011 AbstractMetaphycus flavus(Howard) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) is a facultatively gregarious endoparasitoid of soft scales (Hemiptera: Coccidae). When it develops in superparasitised hosts, the larvae often attack and consume brood mates six or more days post oviposition. Under our laboratory conditions (25±1°C and 14 hours of light followed by 18±1°C and

Taxonomic study of Palumbina Rondani (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae, Thiotrichinae) in Japan: biology, immature stages, and a new species [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2023 The genus Palumbina Rondani, 1876 belongs to the family Gelechiidae, which was until recently believed to comprise 26 species worldwide and mainly occurring in the Oriental region. Previously, only P.

Bryophyte-Feeders in a Basal Brachyceran Lineage (Diptera: Rhagionidae: Spaniinae): Adult Oviposition Behavior and Changes in the Larval Mouthpart Morphology Accompanied with the Diet Shifts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Dipteran larval morphology exhibits overwhelming variety, affected by their diverse feeding habits and habitat use. In particular, larval mouthpart morphology is associated with feeding behavior, providing key taxonomic traits.

A Large-Scale Pattern of Ontogenetic Shape Change in Ray-Finned Fishes.
PLoS ONE, 2016 Fishes exhibit a remarkable diversity of body shape as adults; however, it is unknown whether this diversity is reflected in larval stage morphology. Here we investigate the relationship between larval and adult body shape as expressed by body elongation.
