The function of haemoglobin in relation to the maintenance of neutral buoyancy in Anisops pellucens (Notonectidae, Hemiptera).
Among insects, haemoglobin is known to occur only in certain chironomid larvae, in Gastrophilus larvae, and in the water bugs Macrocorixa geoffroyi and those belonging to the subfamily Anisopinae. Only in the chironomid (Walshe, 1950) and Gastrophilus larvae (Keilin & Wang, 1946) is much known of its function and properties. A useful summary of the characteristics of haemoglobin in these insect...
متن کاملThe variation in fat and glycogen content of the bot fly (Gastrophilus intestinalis) larva tracheal organ during development.
Numerous analyses on the chemical composition of various insects have shown that, as in mammals, fat and glycogen constitute the principal food reserves. Among holometabolic insects the accumulation of these two substances during the larval instars is, to a varying extent, utilized during the process of pupation. Most of the data on the chemical changes during metamorphosis are summarized by Ne...
متن کاملOsmotic pressures and sedimentation velocity of Gastrophilus methaemoglobin.
In the preceding paper, Keilin & Wang (1946) have described the preparation and properties of the haemoglobin obtained from the tracheal cells of the larva of Gastrophilus (the bot fly). Samples from three of their preparations in the form ofmethaemoglobin were used for measurements of osmotic pressure. The amount of material available was small and the results recorded must be regarded as prov...
متن کاملLong-Distance Travellers: Phylogeography of a Generalist Parasite, Pholeter gastrophilus, from Cetaceans
We studied the phylogeography and historical demography of the most generalist digenean from cetaceans, Pholeter gastrophilus, exploring the effects of isolation by distance, ecological barriers and hosts' dispersal ability on the population structure of this parasite. The ITS2 rDNA, and the mitochondrial COI and ND1 from 68 individual parasites were analysed. Worms were collected from seven oc...
متن کاملThe function of haemoglobin in relation to filter feeding in leaf-mining chironomid larvae.
(With One Text-figure) Tendipes (= Chironomus) plumosus larvae are unique among species of Tendipes in employing a filter-feeding mechanism for obtaining their food (Walshe, 1947 a). The larva spins a sheet of salivary secretion across the lumen of its tube, after which, by rapid anteroposterior undulations of the body, it irrigates the tube. Plankton or other organic particles in the incoming ...
