Complete metamorphosis of insects

open access: yes, 2019
The majority of described hexapod species are holometabolous insects, undergoing an extreme form of metamorphosis with an intercalated pupal stage between the larva and adult, in which organs and tissues are extensively remodelled and in some cases ...

The German Soil Systematics and the Rationale Behind Its Revision

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The German Soil Systematics is a pedogenetic classification based on the morphological expressions of pedogenic processes and has been developed over several stages since 1952. The system has successfully been in use for soil classification and soil survey for almost 70 years.

Metamorphoses: Transformations as a discourse of development and a form of life

open access: yesПроект Байкал
“Transformations” as the essence of Ovidian metamorphoses are one of the forms of life, the purpose and potentiality of the world’s development. Ambivalence often serves as a kind of stimulus for the emergence of metamorphoses or their basis.

Morphological and functional modifications of the gastrointestinal tract during metamorphosis in Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Metamorphosis in flatfish is the transition from a symmetrical larva to an asymmetrical juvenile stage, allowing the organism to utilize new resources in a different habitat and thus providing an evolutionary advantage.

A talus rock glacier in Nantlle Valley, North Wales

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Landforms comprising mixtures of fine and coarse sediment and deposited during late glacial times are ubiquitous in the British mountains. In many cases, their interpretation has often proved contentious; as a result, the non‐generic term discrete debris accumulations (DDA) has been used to describe them and, over the last 50 years, some have ...

The embryonic role of juvenile hormone in the firebrat, Thermobia domestica, reveals its function before its involvement in metamorphosis

open access: yeseLife
To gain insights into how juvenile hormone (JH) came to regulate insect metamorphosis, we studied its function in the ametabolous firebrat, Thermobia domestica. Highest levels of JH occur during late embryogenesis, with only low levels thereafter.

Viability analysis and the importance of fine‐scale variables influencing roadkills of a toad population

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Fine‐scale population variables better explain roadkill patterns in natterjack toads (Epidalea calamita) than habitat proxies, with mortality driven mainly by local abundance, reduced by roadside embankments, and decreasing as the season advanced. Despite high roadkills, population viability analyses indicate no immediate extinction risk under current ...
