Radopholus similis was less pathogenic to greenhouse-grown citrus seedlings in Leon loamy sand than in Lakeland fine sand. This was not affected by different watering regimes. Seedling growth reduction by the burrowing nematode in either soil, compared with noninfected controls, was significant at the 1% level.

Longior zayasi Coy, García & Alvarez, 1993 is established as incertae sedis because the males (declared as the holotype) are inconsistent with the generic diagnosis, particularly in relation to the morphology of the head and tail. Thus, the females of Longior zayasi species (which agree with the generic diagnosis) are renamed and re-described as Longior longior Morffe & García sp. n. We also de...

A new micropterous flat bug genus, Longitergus n.gen. with the species productus n.sp. and similis n.sp. from Vietnam, is described. A key to related Oriental genera is given and the diagnostic morphological characters of the new genus and species are illustrated.

A rapid, Ca2+-dependent change in the angle between basal bodies (up to 180 degrees) is associated with light-induced reversal of swimming direction (the "photophobic" response) in a number of flagellated green algae. In isolated, detergent-extracted, reactivated flagellar apparatus complexes of Spermatozopsis similis, axonemal beat form conversion to the symmetrical/undulating flagellar patter...

Some parasites modify the behavior of intermediate hosts to increase the probability of transmission to the next host in their life cycle. In habitats where this is common, parasites play an important role in predator-prey links and food web dynamics. In this study we used laboratory observations to investigate the behavior of longnose killifish, Fundulus similis, that were naturally infected w...

A MORPHOLOGICAL BASIS FOR OSMOREGULATION IN THE TELEOSTS WAS STUDIED BY COMPARING THE FINE STRUCTURE OF CHLORIDE CELLS FOUND IN EPITHELIA OF THE GILLS OF THREE SPECIES OF FISH: Fundulus heteroclitus which can survive in a wide range of salinities, and F. similis and F. chrysotus which are usually restricted to salt water and fresh water environments, respectively. Gills were removed from F. het...

In the old times, when the Translation Pangea was wild and hot, in the territory of Tradosaurius, Esdiëlorius and some other Wordfastorius, text documents where considered as a sequence of characters. Ibeëmodocus was already extinct. The horde of translators had to struggle hard for their life while they were to find their path between fuzzy sentences and other 101% matches. A new species, Atri...
