Abstract:
... The genus Charletonia is revised based on type specimens and other specimens from species and locations worldwide. A total of 86 species were identified and the genus was divided into three morpho-groups, and seven subgroups. The following synonymies were also made: C. braunsi and C. agatae as junior synonyms of C. kibonotensis; C. farajii as a junior synonym of C. shahriari; C. saboorii as a juni ...

Abstract:
... Sea urchins sense alarm cues extracted from crushed conspecifics and perform anti-predation behaviors in exposure to alarm cues. This indicates of the fitness benefits of alarm cues in sea urchins. The present study investigated whether fitness costs of alarm cues exist in fertilization, hatchability, deformity, and larval size of the sea urchin Mesocentrotus nudus. In the present study, we found ...

The larval stage of the genus is described for the first time. Sphairothrombium gabrysi sp. nov. is the first species to be included in this genus since 1999, bringing the overall number of species assigned to this genus to 14. http://www.zoobank.or ...
larvae, etc ; DNA barcoding; Perlodidae; color; phylogeny; China; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... The larval morphology of Plecoptera is relatively insufficient in comparison with their adults. In this study, the larvae of Neofilchneria wanglanga Chen, 2019 and Skwala compacta (McLachlan 1872) from the family Perlodidae are described and illustrated based on specimens from China. The larvae of N. wanglanga and S. compacta share very similar body color patterns. Their morphological differences ...
larvae, etc ; Conopidae; Xylocopa; carpenter bees; insect infestations; parasitoids; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... Studies were conducted to explore the extent of conopid fly infestation in carpenter bee rearing. Conopid flies are larval parasitoids of carpenter bees. The samples were collected from fields, natural nesting sites and artificially domiciled nests. The seasonal incidences of conopid flies in Xylocopa were observed from January 2019 to June 2020. The biology of conopid flies revealed different sta ...

Abstract:
... Present study was made to evaluate the efficacy of certain new molecules against Diamond Back Moth (DBM). The data on population of DBM was taken as number of larvae from 10 plants selected at random from each plot. Pre-treatment count was taken 1 day before spraying which was followed by observations on pest incidence at 3ʳᵈ, 5ᵗʰ and 7ᵗʰ days after spraying (DAS). The results revealed that highes ...

Abstract:
... Two stored grain pests of the genus Tribolium Macleay, 1825 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) are newly recognized in Korea: T. freemani Hinton, 1948, and T. madens (Charpentier, 1825). Their morphological diagnosis, adult and larval pictorial identification keys, and the mitochondrial COI barcode sequences of genus Tribolium are provided. ...
larvae, etc ; Pentastomida; adults; feces; parasites; risk; synanthropes; Italy; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Pentastomida is a subclass of parasitic arthropods, related to crustaceans, which develop in the respiratory tract of vertebrates (i.e., fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals). Within this group of parasites, Raillietiella spp. adults develop in the lungs of lizards, snakes and toads, whereas larval stages in insects (e.g., cockroaches), which are intermediate hosts. Lizards were capture ...
larvae, etc ; Lasius; arthropods; esophagus; flight muscles; liquids; nests; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... In a majority of ants, a newly mated queen independently founds a colony and claustrally raises her first brood without foraging outside the nest. During claustral independent colony foundation (ICF) in several ants, the esophagus of the founding queen expands and develops into a “thoracic crop,” which is then filled with a liquid substrate for larval feeding. It has been suggested that these subs ...

Abstract:
... Isonychia japonica Ulmer, 1919 in the Japanese Archipelago is composed of two genetic lineages that live in different habitats of river ecosystems in the larval stage: clade J-U inhabits upstream and clade J-D inhabits downstream reaches. Whilst their distribution is well known, their morphology and how they have adapted to these diverse environments remains unknown. In this study, we focus on the ...

Abstract:
... In the present study, the acaricide susceptibility status of Hyalomma marginatum in Morocco was investigated in the Rabat-Sale-Kenitra region using the Larval Packet Test. The overall LC₅₀ value for diazinon and amitraz was 115 ppm (95% CI: [104; 125]) and 22 ppm (95% CI: [21; 23]), respectively. The LC₅₀ values varied significantly between the nine sampled locations (P<0.001) ranging from 75 ppm ...
larvae, etc ; adults; freshwater; habitat preferences; habitats; juveniles; plankton; variance; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Marine and freshwater ecosystems differ in persistence, size, population connectivity, and the variance in physical and biotic conditions they experience. These differences may select for differing reproductive modes, life histories, dispersal strategies, and chemically cued recruitment behaviors. In marine systems, adults are commonly less mobile, while larvae spend hours to weeks to months dispe ...
larvae, etc ; adults; benthic organisms; macroalgae; plankton; reproductive performance; seagrasses; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Stock-recruitment relationships for managing commercial fisheries are difficult to measure and notoriously poor, so marine ecologists have relied on larval recruitment as a proxy for how planktonic processes regulate populations and communities. However, my literature review revealed that coupling between reproductive output and recruitment in benthic populations was common, occurring in 62% of 11 ...
insect larvae, etc ; Myrmeleon; mechanoreceptors; photoreceptors; predation; sand; sensilla; India; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Most of the pit-building larvae of antlions display an interesting behavior of pit construction by digging sand and building it in a conical shape. The larva then sits at the apex, waiting for the prey to fall down the slope of the funnel. Vibrations detect the prey in the sand, which is used as a cue to orient and throw sand to knock down the prey. The sensory structure involved in this biologica ...

Abstract:
... Trehala manna is the edible and trehalose-rich cocoons of a few Larinus species (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Lixinae: Lixini), and manufactured by the feeding activity of larvae on the Echinops plants. Knowledge on the morphological and molecular properties of immature stages of Larinus species, especially trehala-constructing ones, is still very limited. Herein, the mature larva and pupa of Larinu ...

Abstract:
... The effects of total ammonium nitrogen (TAN) on hatching, metamorphosis and survival of the geoduck clam Panopea japonica in early life stages (larvae and juvenile) were studied. Ammonia had a significant impact on the hatching ratio at different concentrations. The survival ratio of larvae and juveniles was reduced significantly along with increasing TAN concentration. The maximum acceptable toxi ...

fish larvae, etc ; ichthyoplankton; river flow; temperature; Gulf of Mexico; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... In the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), mesoscale features strongly influence hydrographic and circulation patterns, which can favor larval retention and/or transport. Most ichthyoplankton studies in the southern GoM (south of 25°N) have focused on the continental shelves and the Bay of Campeche (BoC), and little is known about larval fish assemblages in the oceanic region. We compared the structure of the a ...

Abstract:
... Eristalinus aeneus (Scopoli, 1763) is a suitable candidate for artificial rearing due to its pollination efficiency and subcosmopolitan distribution. However, the high mortality found at the larval stage of this species needs to be overcome. In this research, two different larval media were used to study the life cycle of E. aeneus: brewery spent grain (BSG) from a local craft-beer factory and soa ...
