Lateral Proboscis (Elephant Tusk) with Orofacial Clefts: A Report of a Rare Case

Case Reports in Pediatrics, 2018
Lateral proboscis is a rare congenital anomaly. Lateral proboscis is a rare craniofacial malformation characterized by a rudimentary tubular, nose-like structure occurring in association with a wide spectrum of other anomalies. We presented a seven-month-

Micro-PIV Measurements in Micro-Tubes and Proboscis of Mosquito

Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2008
Effects of the relative size of a particle to the diameter of a micro-tube on velocity profiles obtained by the micro-PIV measurement of the flow through the micro-tube were investigated to achieve the accuracy of measurements of the flow in a proboscis ...

Parasitoid insects unveil complex patterns of functional change across elevational bands

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change is rapidly reshaping how insects interact with their environment, potentially disrupting ecosystem complexity and essential functioning. While functional homogenisation has been extensively investigated for charismatic insect taxa, particularly pollinators, the response of parasitoids remains largely overlooked.

Ultramorphological Comparison of Proboscis and Associated Sensilla of Scotogramma trifolii and Protoschinia scutosa (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Insects, 2021
The proboscis is an important feeding organ for the glossatan moths, mainly adapted to the flower and non-flower visiting habits. The clover cutworm, Scotogramma trifolii Rottemberg, and the spotted clover moth, Protoschinia scutosa (Denis ...
