Structural and transcriptional evidence of mechanotransduction in the Drosophila suzukii ovipositor [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Insect Physiology, 2020
Drosophila suzukii is an invasive pest that prefers to lay eggs in ripening fruits, whereas most closely related Drosophila species exclusively use rotten fruit as oviposition site. This behaviour is allowed by an enlarged and serrated ovipositor that can pierce intact fruit skin, and by multiple contact sensory systems (mechanosensation and taste ...

The gustatory sensilla on the endophytic ovipositor of Odonata

Arthropod Structure & Development, 2013
The present paper aims at describing the fine structure of coeloconic sensilla located on the cutting valves of the endophytic ovipositor of two Odonata species, the anisopteran Aeshna cyanea (Aeshnidae) and the zygopteran Ischnura elegans (Coenagrionidae), by carrying out parallel investigations under SEM and TEM.

The Morphology of the Ovipositor of Draeculacephala

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1933
The ovipositor of Draeculacephala mollipes (Say) is carried in a longitudinal receptacle (Pl. I, Fig. 8, a) in the caudoventral part of the abdomen. It consists of two pairs of chitinous valvulae (Pl. I, Figs. 1 and 2), which have come to lie mostly in the same caudocephalic plane. The anterior pair (Pl. I, Fig.

A mechanism for movement of eggs along insect ovipositors

International Journal of Insect Morphology and Embryology, 1981
Abstract This paper aims to describe in detail the mechanism by which eggs are moved along the length of the ovipositor of insects. A series of posteriorly orientated scales, located along the inside of the ovipositor valves, catch the surface of the egg as it emerges from the oviduct and move it along the ovipositor as the valves oscillate back and ...
