The pupae of species in each of the 45 genera of Ceratopogonidae known in this stage are diagnosed and described. A standard set of terms is provided, with a glossary, for all pertinent structures of the pupal stage within a context of other Culicomorpha. The variety of terms provided by previous authors are synonymized. Some pupal structures are directly related to developing adult structures ...

硝子率は，ハダカムギの品質を評価する上で重要な項目である．これまで硝子率は，原麦を切断し，その断面における粉状質部分，半硝子質部分および硝子質部分の割合により評価されてきたが，本研究では，硝子率の違いによって原麦の透過率が異なることに着目し，原麦の明度から非破壊で硝子率を判定できないか検討した．硝子率の算出式を作成するキャリブレーションサンプルとして，1ヵ年，1圃場で採取した2品種のハダカムギ原麦400粒を調整し，算出式の精度を検証するバリデーションサンプルとして，収穫年，栽培圃場，品種，施肥体系がキャリブレーションサンプルと異なるものを含む8つのサンプルセットを調整した．キャリブレーションサンプルにおいて，背景明度によって修正した原麦の修正明度と1原麦硝子率の回帰式の決定係数は，0.8709 （p＜0.001） で当てはまりがよく，この回帰式を1原麦硝子率の算出式とした．バリデーシ...

Plants grown in varying intensities of light from full sun to darkness show characteristic and well-known differences in growth and development. Much of this effect is frequently summed up in the phrase, "light retards growth," which has become almost axiomatic in plant physiology and has been used to explain certain types of phototropism as well as the varying growth rates of etiolated and une...

This study reviews the status of all Neotropical genera and species of Coelostomidiidae (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) and transfers them to the family Monophlebidae in the Cryptokermesini Foldi & Gullan tribe n. (the tribe Cryptokermini Tao & Hao is recognised here as a nomen nudum). This change of family placement for Neotropical taxa is based on the morphology of adult males, as supported by the phy...
