Fungal symbionts (Harpellales) in Norwegian aquatic insect larvae.
Collections of aquatic insect larvae in Norway, over a 40 d period in May and Aug 2002, resulted in finding more than 25 species and one new genus of Harpellales (Trichomycetes). Nine new fungal symbionts are described and named: Ephemerellomyces aquilonius (a new monotypic genus), Glotzia stenospora and Legeriosimilis europaeus in mayfly nymphs (Ephemeroptera); Genistelloides amplispora and G....
متن کاملCyanotoxins: Bioaccumulation and Effects on Aquatic Animals
Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes with wide geographic distribution that can produce secondary metabolites named cyanotoxins. These toxins can be classified into three main types according to their mechanism of action in vertebrates: hepatotoxins, dermatotoxins and neurotoxins. Many studies on the effects of cyanobacteria and their toxins over a wide range of aquatic organisms, inclu...
متن کاملAquatic bioassay of 11 pesticides using larvae of the mosquito, Wyeomyia smithii (Diptera: Culicidae).
One of the uses of aquatic bioassays is to determine the presence or absence of toxic contaminants in water from the field. Our Laboratory has developed a bioassay system for this purpose using larvae of the pitcher-plant mosquito, W eom ia smithii (Coquillett) (Strickman 1984). V The major app lcation of this system is the investigation of minor fish kills which may occur at any U.S. Air Force...
متن کاملFree Amino Acids as Regulators of Osmotic Pressure in Aquatic Insect Larvae
Microanalytical techniques are used to show that organic molecules play an important role is osmoregulation. Changes in the inorganic ion composition of haemolymph from fourth instar larvae of Aedes aegypt} are correlated with the changes in the concentration of organic ions. Free amino acids have a significant role in regulating haemolymph osmotic pressure with respect to the osmotic pressure ...
