Microscopic and morphometric study of the proventriculus and ventriculus of the Striated Scope Owl (Otus Scors brucei) in Iraq

open access: yesKufa Journal for Veterinary Medical Sciences, 2014
The stomach of the Striated Scope Owl (OtusScorsbrucei) consist of two externally distinguishable chambers: that are the proventriculus (glandular part which secretes the gastric juices) and the gizzard (ventriculus) which has a mechanical function. The

Single‐cell sequencing reveals potential novel insights into appendage‐patterning and joint‐development in a spider

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Jointed appendages represent one of the key innovations of arthropods, and thus understanding the development and evolution of these structures is important for the understanding of the evolutionary success of Arthropoda. In this paper, we analyze a cell cluster that was identified in a previous single‐cell sequencing (SCS ...

Development of the proventriculus in larvae of the slipper lobster, Ibacus ciliatus (Decapoda: Scyllaridae)

open access: yes, 1993
The morphological development of the proventriculus in the phyllosomal and nisto stages of the scyllarid slipper lobster is described and illustrated. Possible flow pathways of food particles is deduced from the structure of the proventriculus.

Anatomy and Histology of the Midgut of Atopozelus opsimus (Heteroptera: Reduviidae)

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atopozelus opsimus Elkins, 1954 (Heteroptera: Reduviidae) preys on forest and agricultural pests but also feeds on extrafloral nectar; however, its alimentary canal is poorly understood. The aim was to describe the anatomy and histology of the A. opsimus midgut. The alimentary canal of female and male A.

Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires immunity and detoxification gene regulation by Lola

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires upregulation of lola. Attenuation of lola in the midgut of Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes inhibits the upregulation of immunity genes induced by challenge. Putative target genes of the Lola transcription factor were revealed by lola attenuation, including Cecropin‐C, Draper, PPAF2, Clip‐domain serine ...

Proventriculus of three nemobiinae crickets (Orthoptera: Grylloidea: Trigonidiidae)

open access: yes, 2009
The morphology of the proventriculus may supply useful taxonomic characters for some species of crickets. This study evaluated if the proventriculus can be used to distinguish three species of Nemobiinae crickets: Phoremia sp. n., Zucchiella sp.

The digestive tract histology and geographical distribution of gastrointestinal microbiota in yellow-feather broilers

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2023
: Exhaustive understanding of intestinal physiological characteristics is the critical precondition for the improvement of intestinal health and growth performance of yellow-feather broilers (YFB). As a vital part of gastrointestinal tract, the symbiotic,

Defecation in preparation for ecdysis drives microplastic clearance in cricket nymphs

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, EarlyView.
In preparation for ecdysis, cricket nymphs cease feeding and gradually clear their gut contents via frass production, which removes most ingested MPs from their digestive tract. Following exoskeletal moulting, the foregut lining, including any remaining MPs, is shed and excreted alongside frass approximately 6 h later.

The proventriculus of Cicindelidae : systematics and functional morphology [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Internal structures of the proventriculus of adult tiger beetles were examined to determine their function and taxonomic and phylogenetic value. The overall appearance of the proventriculus suggested an intricate filter designed to permit the flow of ...

Nutritional and Performance Effects of Partial Replacement of Maize With Cassava Root (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Meal in Broiler Diets

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Partial replacement of maize with cassava root meal (CRM) improved growth performance, carcass traits, antioxidant activity, meat quality, and sensory acceptability in broiler chickens. Among all treatments, 10% CRM supplementation showed optimal feed efficiency, water‐holding capacity, and antioxidant status without adverse health effects, indicating ...
