Blood-Feeding True Bugs in the Early Cretaceous
Blood-feeding insects, as vectors of disease for humans and livestock alike, have garnered significant interest, but our understanding of their early evolution is hindered by the scarcity of available material and the difficulty in distinguishing early hematophages from non-blood-feeding relatives. Here, we report a new family of true bugs including two new genera and species from the Early Cre...
متن کاملRelationship between breast feeding in infancy with blood pressure in early
Introduction: Recent studies have shown that breast feeding reduces blood pressure (BP) in childhood, but association of breast feeding and BP in adulthood is not clear. The aim of this study was to evaluate association between breast feeding in infancy with BP in early adult life. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done through random sampling on 384 students aged 18-32 years in Azad un...
متن کاملThe Oldest Higher True Crabs (crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura): Insights from the Early Cretaceous of the Americas
Despite the extensive fossil record of higher crabs (Eubrachyura) from Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic rocks worldwide, their Early Cretaceous occurrences are scarce and fragmentary, obscuring our understanding of their early evolution. Until now, representatives of only two families of eubrachyuran-like crabs were known from the Early Cretaceous: Componocancridae and Tepexicarcinidae fam. nov., b...
متن کاملThe semi-aquatic pondweed bugs of a Cretaceous swamp
Pondweed bugs (Hemiptera: Mesoveliidae), considered a sister group to all other Gerromorpha, are exceedingly rare as fossils. Therefore, each new discovery of a fossil mesoveliid is of high interest, giving new insight into their early evolutionary history and diversity and enabling the testing of their proposed relationships. Here, we report the discovery of new mesoveliid material from Spanis...
متن کاملFirst report on trichomonads from true bugs.
Although the hindgut of some insects represents a rich source of intestinal trichomonads, their diversity is only poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence and abundance of intestinal trichomonads in true bugs (Heteroptera). We microscopically examined intestinal contents of more than 780 specimens belonging to 28 families of true bugs from localities in Ch...
