The mayfly nymph Austrophlebioides pusillus Harker defies common osmoregulatory assumptions
Osmoregulation is a key physiological function, critical for homeostasis. The basic physiological mechanisms of osmoregulation are thought to be well established. However, through a series of experiments exposing the freshwater mayfly nymph Austrophlebioides pusillus (Ephemeroptera) to increasing salinities, we present research that challenges the extent of current understanding of the relation...
متن کاملHydrodynamic pumping by serial gill arrays in the mayfly nymph Centroptilum triangulifer.
Aquatic nymphs of the mayfly Centroptilum triangulifer produce ventilatory flow using a serial array of seven abdominal gill pairs that operates across a Reynolds numbers (Re) range from 2 to 22 during ontogeny. Net flow in small animals is directed ventrally and essentially parallel to the stroke plane (i.e. rowing), but net flow in large animals is directed dorsally and essentially transverse...
متن کاملThe nymph and imago of Chinese mayfly Siphlonurus davidi (Navás, 1932)
The imagos and nymphs of Siphlonurus davidi (Navás, 1932) are described for the first time. The adult has colourful wings and cross veins, the MP is forked asymmetrically at its base, a long cubital area is present with more intercalaries, and it has a relatively simpler penis and larger hindwings compared to its congeners. The venation and genitalia show that it is a plesiomorphic species in t...
متن کاملDo omnivorous shrimp influence mayfly nymph life history traits in a tropical island stream?
Interspecific interactions can play an important role in determining habitat selection and resource use between competing species. We examined interactions between an omnivorous shrimp and a grazing mayfly, two co-dominant taxa found in Puerto Rican headwater streams, to assess how predator presence may influence mayfly resource use and instantaneous growth in a tropical rainforest ecosystem. W...
متن کاملVerification of Common 802.11 MAC Model Assumptions
There has been considerable success in analytic modeling of the 802.11 MAC layer. These models are based on a number of fundamental assumptions. In this paper we attempt to verify these assumptions by taking careful measurements using an 802.11e testbed with commodity hardware. We show that the assumptions do not always hold but our measurements offer insight as to why the models may still prod...
