Zootaxa, 2020
A list of genus names in the scale insects published between 2014 and the end of 2019 is provided; it follows on from an earlier comprehensive list of the names published between 1758 and the end of 2013. Each genus name and its type species are assigned to one of the 53 scale insect families now recognised.

The visual system of male scale insects
Naturwissenschaften, 2008Animal eyes generally fall into two categories: (1) their photoreceptive array is convex, as is typical for camera eyes, including the human eye, or (2) their photoreceptive array is concave, as is typical for the compound eye of insects. There are a few rare examples of the latter eye type having secondarily evolved into the former one. When viewed in

Observations on Scale-Insects (Coccidae).—VI
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1917Female. Dorsum nude and densely chitinised. Marsupium occupying practically the whole of the interior. Venter (sternites) remaining attached to the food-plant. Legs and antennae present. Cephalic margin with a strongly developed clypeus, lying prone over the mentum. Abdominal stigmata present.

American Journal of Botany, 1948
ALTHOUGH SCALE insects in tropical, subtropical and warm temperate regions are commonly parasitized by higher fungi, chytrid diseases or chvtridiosis of such insects appear to be comparatively rare. So far very few cases bave been reported in the literature.

Ontogenetic and Interspecific Metabolic Scaling in Insects
The American Naturalist, 2014Design constraints imposed by increasing size cause metabolic rate in animals to increase more slowly than mass. This ubiquitous biological phenomenon is referred to as metabolic scaling. However, mechanistic explanations for interspecific metabolic scaling do not apply to ontogenetic size changes within a species, implying different mechanisms for ...

Agile and Resilient Insect-Scale Robot
Soft Robotics, 2019Abstract A key challenge in bioinspired insect-scale running robots is to make them both agile and resilient. In this study, we develop a dielectric elastomer actuated soft robot that mimics inchworms. We use an elastomer to make the soft body, a stretchable dielectric to provide electrostatic actuation of high power density, and ...

Large-scale insect cell culture
Current Biology, 1992Significant advances have been made over the past year in our understanding of the protective mechanisms, both fluid-mechanical and biological, of media additives on suspended animal cells. The degree of protection offered by different additives, such as pluronic polyol, appears to be cell-type dependent, varying quite dramatically not only between ...

Interrelationships of Two Scale Insects on Citrus
Ecology, 1967The interrelationships of 2 diaspidid scale insects of the geunus Parlatoria, infesting citrus, were investigated during several years in the field. It was found that P. pergandii Comstock was more numerous in the summer, P. cinerea Hadden in the winter.
