Knowing a chemical composition of preferred feed plants the Turkestan termite will enable development effective and available agents to be used for its control, that is particularly important during period rapid population growth global warming. In this work, compositions ensure normal – moisture, components organic extracts, aqueous pectins, hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin reducing sugars hav...

Main results on study of phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity three plants growing in southeastern part Kazakhstan, namely A. schrenkiana, L. turkestanicus C. tianschanica. Plant material was collected flowering stage July 2020. This carried out to evaluate the constituents potential order validate medicinal these herbs. The alcoholic extracts evaluated using 2,2 diphenyl-l-picryl...

La luciérnaga Photinus immigrans se conoce únicamente en la península ibérica, aunque probablemente es una especie originaria de Norteamérica. En esta nota presentamos el primer registro e ilustración su larva. Ésta puede ser fácilmente identificada gracias a patrón coloración, formado cada segmento por varias líneas longitudinales marrón claro o rojizas sobre fondo negro oscuro. Se han encontr...

Male glow-worms Lampyris noctiluca find their bioluminescent mates at night by phototaxis. There is good evidence that location of mates by lampyrid beetles is achieved by a single spectral class of photoreceptor, whose spectral sensitivity is tuned to the bioluminescent spectrum emitted by conspecifics, and is achromatic. We ask whether glow-worm phototaxis involves interactions between two sp...

The light organs of female specimens of the glow-worm Lampyris noctiluca were investigated by enzyme histochemical tests, lipid stains, and electron microscopy. Differences, both histochemical and in fine structure, were found between the cells of the photocyte and reflector layers. The photocytes contained a vesiculated reticulum, photocyte granules, amorphous granules, and numerous mitochondr...

Artificial light at night is an increasing threat to nocturnal biodiversity. Aside from the overall increase in emission, replacement of old monochromatic streetlighting by broad emission spectrum LED lights may be additional threat. Studies evaluating impacts these artificial on European common glow-worm (Lampyris noctiluca L.) are scarce. This study examines effects upward facing white mate s...
