Wheatly, Y. Gao, C. Gillen, Z. Jamal Wright State University, Dayton, OH Kenyon College, Gambier, OH, USA The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is the prim...

haplothrips zabolius sp. n. is described from two plant species, cynodon dactylon (poaceae) and plantago lanceolata (plantaginaceae) from the southeast of iran. the new species is apparently close to some grass-living haplothrips species: h. aculeatus (fabricius), h. eragrostidis priesner and h. hukkineni priesner. most specimens of the new species have only one sense cone on the antennal segme...

Bisher ist wenig über endokrine Organe der Diplopoden bekannt. G L A S E R 1 fand bei Polydesmus testaceus ein neurosekretorisches Zentrum im Protocerebrum und sah die mit diesem über einen Nerv verbundene Cerebraldrüse als Neurohämalorgan an. Die Cerebraldrüse der kleinen Penicillaten-Art Poylxenus lagurus wurde erst spät erkannt ( S E I F E R T 5) und kürzlich eingehender bearbeitet ( S E I F...

Behavioral and electrophysiological tests were performed to evaluate the responses of workers of the ant Solenopsis geminata (Fabricius) from different size categories to Dufour gland extracts. Morphometric measures based in head widths across eyes were used to determine worker sizes. Trail following response of different worker sizes to Dufour gland extract from workers of different sizes was ...

This study examined the effects of long-term frozen storage (-20 °C for 5 months) of free amino acids (FAAs) and nucleotide-related compounds (NRCs) in muscle and hepatopancreas of the coconut crab Birgus latro. Although long-term frozen storage had little effect on FAA composition in muscle, the amounts of several FAAs increased in the hepatopancreas that may be the result of protein decom...

Epithelial plasma membranes from crustacean gut, kidney and gills have been shown recently to display an electrogenic 2Na+/1H+ antiporter that differs considerably in its physiological properties from the vertebrate electroneutral 1Na+/1H+ exchange paradigm. In this study, we describe the histological and cytological localization of an antigen associated with invertebrate electrogenic 2Na+/1H+ ...
