Riboflavin as One of Possible Components of Keroplatus (Insecta: Diptera: Keroplatidae) Fungus Gnat Bioluminescence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract Keroplatus is a genus of fungus gnats family Keroplatidae (Diptera, Bibionomorpha). Larvae some species emit constant blue light from the body. The bioluminescence one least studied all terrestrial insects and very few facts are known to date its biology biochemistry. Here we report high level riboflavin in testaceus larvae, fluorescent compound that might be relative bioluminescent system. We suppose may play role spp. bioluminescence.

متن کاملThe sequoia-loving sprite, a new genus and species of fungus gnat (Diptera, Mycetophilidae) from California
California is one of the most biologically diverse regions of the world, yet the diversity of fungus gnats (Mycetophilidae) remains largely undocumented within the state. A modest survey of these flies has led to the discovery of a new genus and species of gnat that lives alongside one of the most iconic trees in the world, the giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum). Spritella sequoiaphila ge...

Monitoring tools for detecting the presence of fungus gnats (Bradysia spp.) are a critical part of effective IPM programs for these pests in greenhouse production systems. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of yellow sticky cards for monitoring adult fungus gnats; similarly, potato disks placed on the surface of the growing media in pots have been shown to be effective monitoring tools...
