Terellia Species in Lebanon: Ovipositor Morphology and DNA Barcoding
, 2023 Terellia is a genus of nonfrugivorous tephritid fly that widespread in the palearctic region. In Lebanon, six species have been recorded to exploit various thistle hosts at different elevations: Terellia colon, T. fuscicornis, T.

Design and evaluation of a ball spline wasp-inspired needle
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyIn percutaneous interventions, needles are used to reach target locations inside the body. However, when the needle is pushed through the tissue, forces arise at the needle tip and along the needle body, making the needle prone to buckling.

Insects, 2020 The identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) leading to short-range attraction and oviposition of the European grapevine moth Lobesia botrana and European grape berry moth Eupoecilia ambiguella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is crucial in order to

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Insect Science, EarlyView.Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived airborne semiochemicals. Egg‐borne bacterial symbionts, and Serratia marcescens in particular, produce odorants which attract gravid female flies and elicit oviposition.

The insect ovipositor as a volatile sensor within a closed microcosm [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2017 ABSTRACT We show that the insect ovipositor is an olfactory organ that responds to volatiles and CO2 in gaseous form. We demonstrate this phenomenon in parasitic wasps associated with Ficus racemosa where ovipositors, as slender as a human hair, drill through the syconium (enclosed inflorescences) and act as a guiding probe to locate ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Multi‐omics analysis reveals that herbivorous adaptation in Lordiphosa flies arises from coordinated interactions across the genome, transcriptome, and gut microbiota: genomic expansions of detoxification (e.g., cytochrome P450s) and carbohydrate metabolism gene families, transcriptomic upregulation of energy pathways like lipid oxidation and ...

Material, structural, and geometrical data of the ovipositor
, 2019 The archive contains two files: a Matlab data file and a plotting script. The data file contains the three-point bending measurements of the ovipositor and its individual valves, namely: (i) raw force measurements and fits, (ii) the extracted forces for ...
