COMPARISON OF MOUTHPARTS OF TWO FAMILIES OF AMPHIPODS OF PULICAT LAKE, TALITRIDAE AND GAMMARIDAE [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Amphipods are tiny crustaceans that have adapted to diverse habits and habitats of different ecosystems. Found in freshwater, brackish water and a few in terrestrial ecosystems, these malacostracans play a pivotal role in the energetics of the lake.

Hemipteran vectors of stylet‐borne plant viruses: Aphids lead the charge

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Among all sap‐feeding hemipterans, aphids stand out by far as the most important vectors of noncirculative plant viruses. Compared to whiteflies and mealybugs, aphids’ highly specialized stylet anatomy and distinct feeding behaviors contribute, together with other features of their biology, to their remarkable efficiency in transmitting stylet‐borne ...

“Alien versus predator”: predatory effect of coccinellid Exochomus quadripustulatus on the scale insect Toumeyella parvicornis. An open‐field experimentation on the Pinus pinea of Rome

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The release of gravid Exochomus quadripustulatus females proved to be effective in containing Toumeyella parvicornis infestations on stone pine trees, under open‐field condition. The ladybugs caused a lower infestation level compared to the trees that did not receive any ladybugs during the observation season.

Morphological notes on the mouthparts of decapod crustacean larvae, with emphasis on palinurid phyllosomas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Some topics in the morphological study of mouthparts of decapod larvae, consisting of labrum, mandible, paragnath (= labium) and maxillule, are briefly reviewed. The morphological features of larval mouthparts are compared topographically in main decapod

Comparative study of mouthparts of three species of horse flies of the tribe Pangoniini of Chilean distribution (Diptera: Tabanidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Mouthparts of 3 species representing Esenbeckia Rondani, Protodasyapha Enderlein, and Veprius Rondani of the tribe Pangoniini were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and their structures are herein described.

Does Rodent Management Impact the Distribution of Rattus rattus and Mastomys natalensis in Village Settings?

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Ecological differences between species may result in differential impacts of control measures. Our experimental study showed that intensive removal of rodents from houses (mostly Rattus rattus) resulted in increased use of houses by Mastomys natalensis, a species usually found outdoors. Our results suggest that M.

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

open access: yesCladistics, 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.

Laboratory Biology, Immature and Adult Morphology of Trichopria drosophilae (Perkins) (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae), Parasitoids of Drosophila Flies

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
This study investigates the laboratory biology and morphology of the parasitoid Trichopria drosophilae, which targets Drosophila flies, including the invasive Drosophila suzukii. Key findings include a detailed description of the parasitoid's egg, three larval instars, and pupal stage, as well as unique behaviors such as siblicide and encapsulation in ...
