Description of Luciola aquatilis sp. nov., a new aquatic firefly (Coleoptera: Lampyridae: Luciolinae) from Thailand
A new species of aquatic firefly belonging to Luciola Laporte is described and illustrated based on external morphology of both males and females, and the genitalia of males. Luciola aquatilis sp. nov., a common firefly in Thailand was formerly commonly misidentified as Luciola brahmina Bourgeois. Other Luciola species that resemble L. aquatilis are discussed, as well as past confusion concerni...
متن کاملTranscriptome analysis reveals candidate genes involved in luciferin metabolism in Luciola aquatilis (Coleoptera: Lampyridae)
Bioluminescence, which living organisms such as fireflies emit light, has been studied extensively for over half a century. This intriguing reaction, having its origins in nature where glowing insects can signal things such as attraction or defense, is now widely used in biotechnology with applications of bioluminescence and chemiluminescence. Luciferase, a key enzyme in this reaction, has been...
متن کاملCompatibility of Insecticides, Fungicides, and Foliar Fertilizers on Watermelon
Insecticides, fungicides, and foliar fertilizers are all used in the production of watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris L.) in Florida. In certain areas of the state, particularly in south Florida, pesticides are commonly applied at 5-7 day in tervals to maintain disease and insect control. Growers with large acreages combine insecticides and fungicides so that both can be applied at the required sho...
متن کاملComparative Toxicity of Pyrethroid Insecticides to Terrestrial and Aquatic Insects
The acute toxicities of three pyrethroid insecticides (permethrin, cypermethrin, and bifenthrin) and one organophosphate insecticide (chlorpyrifos) were compared by topical application and static exposure to a variety of terrestrial and aquatic insects. Mayflies and damselflies were the most susceptible taxa tested by both exposure methods. The aquatic insects were generally more susceptible th...
متن کاملSystematic review of the firefly genus Scissicauda (Coleoptera, Lampyridae, Amydetinae) from Brazil
