Description of the developmental stages in Acartia bifilosa Giesbrecht (Copepoda: Calanoida)

A new species of Acartia (Copepoda, Calanoida) from the Yellow Sea

A new species (Acartia hongi) of Acartia (family Acartiidae) predominating in the Korean coastal waters of the Yellow Sea is described. This species closely resembles Acartia bifilosa, from which it can be easily distinguished by the co-occurrence of the following morphological characters: the absence of rostral filaments in both genders; the terminal spine on the female fifth leg toothed only ...

Formation of the gut in the first two naupliar stages of Acartia clausi and Hemidiaptomus roubaui (Copepoda, Calanoida): comparative structural and ultrastructural aspects

In this study, the structure and ultrastructure of the digestive system are compared in the early larval stages (nauplii I and II) of two copepod calanoid species, Acartia clausi Giesbrecht, 1889 and Hemidiaptomus roubaui Richard, 1888. The nauplii I of both species have no functional digestive tract, which is represented initially only by a blind esophageal slit and yolky endodermal cells, whi...

the effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation

in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.

Description of developmental stages and some hosts of ribautodelphax notabilis logvinenko (homoptera delphacidae) in shiraz,iran

New Sensiava species (Copepoda: Calanoida: Diaixidae) from the deep South Atlantic and first description of the female.

Females are described for the first time in the genus Sensiava Markhaseva & Schulz, 2006, that was known previously only from males. Four species of this genus are identified from samples collected in the vicinity of the abyssal sea bed. Two species, Sensiava secunda sp. nov. and S. peculiaris sp. nov. are named, and two species are not given names due to a poor condition of the examined specim...
