In dipteran glow-worms (genus Arachnocampa) bioluminescence is produced by cells of the Malpighian tubules. Light is used to lure prey into sticky webs secreted by the larvae. Larvae can regulate the intensity of the emitted light so neural...
An overview of campaniform sensilla arrangement and location on hexapod legs [0.03%]
六足昆虫腿节上的鳞毛感受器分布和着生位置的概述

Ruben G F Eich et al.
Campaniform sensilla (CS) are mechano-sensors in the cuticle of insects which are able to detect cuticle deformation. On insect legs, CS play a role in the modulation of locomotion behavior because they provide feedback on cuticle bending. ...
Complete cycle of receptacle development in parasitic barnacle, Parasacculina pilosella (Van Kampen and Boschma, 1925) (Rhizocephala: Polyascidae) [0.03%]
附着于甲壳类寄生环节动物的Sacculinid钩壳蚤虫Pilosella complete cycle of receptacle发育过程

Olga V Yurchenko et al.
The complete cycle of receptacle development in the parasitic barnacle Parasacculina pilosella (Van Kampen and Boschma, 1925) (Rhizocephala: Polyascidae) was studied by light and electron microscopy. This rhizocephalan has two globular rece...
An Sp6-9 ortholog is expressed in developing legs in the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris [0.03%]
轮型线虫极地熊动物的Sp6-9同源物在发育中的腿中表达

Orthologs of the zinc finger transcription factor-coding gene Sp6-9 are expressed in developing appendages across Arthropoda and in Onychophora. Sp6-9 regulates appendage outgrowth in some arthropods by activating Distal-less (Dll) expressi...

Recent μCT-based surveys of spider chelicerae highlight a problematic aspect of skeletomuscular function, that is, the absence of extrinsic muscles capable of projecting the chelicerae outward or forward. Instead, all appear to generate an...
Insights for the subtribal-level phylogenetic reconstructions in Paederinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae): a study on mesoventral plate with elements of comparative morphology [0.03%]

Morphological characters are one of the bases for describing any organismal group and comparative morphology plays an important role in taxonomy, systematics, and evolutionary research. Yet, in many groups, especially highly diverse, the te...

The evolution and diversification of respiratory structures enabled arthropods to colonize terrestrial habitats multiple times independently. One such group of ancestrally marine arthropods, the Isopods, successfully colonized freshwater an...
Comparative analysis of light spectra emitted by two firefly species: Luciola italica and Luciolapedemontana [0.03%]
两种萤火虫Luciola italica和Luciolapedemontana发光光谱的比较分析研究

Light plays an important role in fireflies (Coleptera, Lampyridae) and emission spectra and signalling patterns are usually species specific. In Italy there are two species of fireflies belonging to the genus Luciola: Luciola italica and L....
The first complete larval development of the parasitic barnacle from the genus Briarosaccus [0.03%]

The complete larval development of Briarosaccus hoegi (Rhizocephala: Peltogastridae), including five naupliar and one cypris stages, is described and illustrated using SEM. The present study confirms that all rhizocephalans have 5 naupliar ...
Unraveling the insect head: Segmentation and pancrustacean homologous [0.03%]
解开昆虫的头部：节段与甲壳动物同源性问题探讨
Patricia Nel,Michael S Engel,Carmen Soriano et al.
Patricia Nel et al.
The segmental composition of the arthropodan head is a long-standing biological question. This is particularly controversial in insects where considerable fusion and modification obfuscate the postembryonic segmentation. Here we propose a r...
