Comparison of the Antennal Sensilla Ultrastructure of Two Cryptic Species in Bemisia tabaci
Bemisia tabaci is an important agricultural pest with worldwide distribution and host preference. Therefore, understanding the biology of this pest is important to devise specific pest control strategies. The antennae of herbivorous insects play an important role in the identification of hosts using plant volatiles. To understand the features of antennae in B. tabaci MEAM 1(formerly known as bi...
متن کاملSexual isolation between two sibling species with overlapping ranges: Drosophila santomea and Drosophila yakuba.
Drosophila yakuba is widespread in Africa, whereas D. santomea, its newly discovered sister species, is endemic to the volcanic island of São Tomé in the Gulf of Guinea. Drosophila santomea probably formed after colonization of the island by a D. yakuba-like ancestor. The species presently have overlapping ranges on the mountain Pico do São Tomé, with some hybridization occurring in this region...
متن کاملUltrastructure of Maxillary Teeth and Sensilla of Three Anopheline Species of Mosquitoes (insecta: Diptera: Culecidae)
899 Abstract The maxillary stylets and maxillary palps of three species of mosquitoes belonging to genus Anopheles, viz., Anopheles culicifacies Giles, Anopheles fluviatilis James Anopheles subpictus Grassi have been studied using scanning electron microscope. The studies reveal the presence of lateral teeth and absence of mesial teeth on the maxillary stylets. The number, shape and size of lat...
متن کاملMorphology and Ultrastructure of Antennal Sensilla in Male and Female Agrilus mali (Coleoptera: Buprestidae)
The apple buprestid beetle, Agrilus mali Matsumura, is an invasive pest causing significant damages to rare wild apple forests of Xinjiang. The morphology, abundance and distribution of antennal sensilla in both sexes of this pest were examined. We found that the antennae of A. mali females were longer than those of males. Five types of antennal sensilla were characterized, including trichodea ...
متن کاملLarval antennal sensilla in water-living insects.
An overview of larval antennal sensilla in hemimetabolous and holometabolous water-living insects is given by updating current knowledge on the fine structure of these sensory systems. In the absence of successful electrophysiological studies, the possible function of sensilla is deduced from their architecture. Various kinds of sensilla are described in hemimetabolous insects, such as Ephemero...
