Hysteresis in the production of force by larval Dipteran muscle [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2010 SUMMARYWe describe neuromuscular hysteresis – the dependence of muscle force on recent motoneuron activity – in the body wall muscles of larval Sarcophaga bullata and Drosophila melanogaster. In semi-intact preparations, isometric force produced by a train of nerve impulses at a constant rate was significantly less than that produced by the same train ...

Comparing and contrasting development and reproductive strategies in the pupal hyperparasitoids Lysibia nana and Gelis agilis (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) [PDF]
, 2007 In most animals, the optimal phenotype is determined by trade-offs in life-history traits. Here, I compare development and reproductive strategies in two species of solitary secondary hyperparasitoids, Lysibia nana and Gelis agilis, attacking pre-pupae ...

The effect of a 24-hour photoperiod on the survival, growth and swim bladder inflation of pre-flexion yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) larvae [PDF]
, 2011 The effects of two different continuous photoperiod regimes on survival, growth and swim bladder inflation of pre-flexion yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) larvae were investigated. Each photoperiod regime was tested twice with a different larval cohort

Population connectivity and dynamics in early-life stages of Atlantic fish communities
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 IntroductionMany hypotheses have been suggested to explain recruitment variability in fish populations. These can generally be divided into three groups, either related to: larval food limitation, predation, or transport. Transport mechanisms are central

Baltic sprat larvae: coupling food availability, larval condition and survival [PDF]
, 2006 Eggs and larvae of Baltic sprat Sprattus sprattus L. were collected during 14 cruises covering the spawning season in 2002 in Bornholm Basin. Main egg and larval production was in April, with a second small peak in June 2002. The in situ larval abundance

Larval habitat stability and productivity in two sites in Southern Ghana
Malaria Journal, 2023 Abstract Background Mosquito larval source management (LSM) is a valuable additional tool for malaria vector control. Understanding the characteristics of mosquito larval habitats and its ecology in different land use types can give valuable insight for an effective larval control strategy.
