Morphology‐based phylogeny of longhorn beetles (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) aligns with phylogenomics and informs higher‐level systematics

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a morphology‐based backbone phylogeny of Cerambycidae beetles inferred by parsimony analyses using 77 adult characters scored for 101 species. This phylogeny is largely consistent with recent phylogenomic studies regarding key placements (e.g., Parandrini stat. rev. within Prioninae, Necydalini stat. rev.

Maxillary osteosarcoma in a beef suckler cow [PDF]

, 2012
A ten-year-old beef suckler cow was referred to the Scottish Centre for Production Animal Health and Food Safety of the University of Glasgow, because of facial swelling in the region of the right maxilla.

Predatory behaviour of some Central European pselaphine beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae) with descriptions of relevant morphological features of their heads

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
The Pselaphinae is a large subfamily of staphylinid beetles with a characteristic habitus and small body size. Detailed morphological and behavioural studies on these beetles are scarce.

A revised classification system of the marronoid clade of spiders (Araneae), based on dense sampling phylogenomics and comparative morphology

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The marronoid clade is a globally distributed, ecologically diverse group of spiders. It is an important faunal component in both natural and synanthropic environments, and even found in aquatic and extreme habitats such as desert salt flats. The systematics of the marronoid clade has been notoriously unstable due to the widespread character ...

Wnt gene regulation and function during maxillary palp development in Drosophila melanogaster

Developmental Biology, 2020
Wnt genes encode secreted ligands that play many important roles in the development of metazoans. There are thirteen known Wnt gene subfamilies and seven of these are represented in Drosophila melanogaster. While wingless (wg) is the best understood and most widely studied Wnt gene in Drosophila, the functions of many of the other Drosophila Wnt genes ...

Membrane Proteins Mediating Reception and Transduction in Chemosensory Neurons in Mosquitoes

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Mosquitoes use chemical cues to modulate important behaviors such as feeding, mating, and egg laying. The primary chemosensory organs comprising the paired antennae, maxillary palps and labial palps are adorned with porous sensilla that house primary ...

Larval character evolution in Holometabola (Insecta)

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Larvae, a novel type of immature stage, are a crucial innovation of the Holometabola. Larval features therefore provide key evidence for reconstructing evolutionary transformations in this megadiverse group. Here we present the first formal reconstruction of larval character evolution, using maximum parsimony and Bayesian ancestral‐state ...

Effects of essential amino acids on phagostimulation and reproduction in adults of the Mediterranean fruit fly Efectos de amino ácidos esenciales en la fago‐estimulación y reproducción en adultos de la mosca de las frutas del Mediterráneo

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
The phagostimulation and reproductive effects of individual essential amino acids, without other nutrient except fructose, were investigated. Methionine, Arginine and Leucine display significantly higher phagostimulation strength than fructose. Arginine and Methionine showed a significant improvement in reproductive activity compared to other tested ...

Functional morphology and sexual dimorphism of mouthparts of the short-faced scorpionfly Panorpodes kuandianensis (Mecoptera: Panorpodidae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Mouthparts are closely associated with the feeding behavior and feeding habits of insects. The features of mouthparts frequently provide important traits for evolutionary biologists and systematists.
