Gut contents in molting lepidopteran larvae: a source of error in nutritional studies
It is generally assumed that larval insects allow the gut to clear of all food prior to each molt (Waldbauer, 1968; Kogan, 1986; Ayres & MacLean, 1987). This premise has been important in the standardization of insect starting weights in growth experiments; the food in feeding larvae may account for up to 50 ~o of the dry weight of phytophagous insects (Wightman, 1981; Kogan, 1986). The only pu...
متن کاملComplexity and Variability of Gut Commensal Microbiota in Polyphagous Lepidopteran Larvae
BACKGROUND The gut of most insects harbours nonpathogenic microorganisms. Recent work suggests that gut microbiota not only provide nutrients, but also involve in the development and maintenance of the host immune system. However, the complexity, dynamics and types of interactions between the insect hosts and their gut microbiota are far from being well understood. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS ...
متن کاملDiversity of gut methanogens in herbivorous animals.
The digestion of plant biomass by symbiotic microbial communities in the gut of herbivore hosts also results in the production of methane, a greenhouse gas that is released into the environment where it contributes to climate change. As methane is exclusively produced by methanogenic archaea, various research groups have devoted their efforts to investigate the population structure of symbiotic...
متن کاملProtocols for Oral Infection of Lepidopteran Larvae with Baculovirus
Baculoviruses are widely used both as protein expression vectors and as insect pest control agents. This video shows how lepidopteran larvae can be infected with polyhedra by droplet feeding and diet plug-based bioassays. This accompanying Springer Protocols section provides an overview of the baculovirus lifecycle and use of baculoviruses as insecticidal agents, including discussion of the pro...
متن کاملProtocols for microapplicator-assisted infection of lepidopteran larvae with baculovirus.
Baculoviruses are widely used both as protein expression vectors and as insect pest control agents. . This video shows how lepidopteran larvae can be infected with microapplicator techniques in the gut with baculovirus polyhedra and in the hemolymph with budded virus. This accompanying Springer Protocols section provides an overview of the baculovirus lifecycle and use of baculoviruses as insec...
