Identification of Nanopillars on the Cuticle of the Aquatic Larvae of the Drone Fly (Diptera: Syrphidae).
Here, we describe a nano-scale surface structure on the rat-tailed maggot, the aquatic larva of the Drone fly Eristalis tenax(L.). Larvae of this syrphid hover fly live in stagnant, anaerobic water-courses that are rich in organic matter. The larvae burrow into fetid slurry and feed on microorganisms which they filter out from the organic material. This environment is rich in bacteria, fungi an...
متن کاملImpacts of cattle on amphibian larvae and the aquatic environment
1. Agricultural practices such as cattle farming may have direct or indirect negative effects on larval amphibians by decreasing water quality through deposition of nitrogenous waste, causing eutrophication, and grazing shoreline vegetation that contributes to detrital cover and food. 2. We sampled amphibian larvae on the Cumberland Plateau, Tennessee, U.S.A., twice per week, water quality twic...

Background: The larvae of Lucilia sericata are efficiently and widely used in maggot therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate some environmental factors that influence the mass rearing of Lucilia sericata as the most suitable candidates for maggot therapy in Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in fli...
متن کاملRole of syrphid larvae and other predators in suppressing aphid infestations in organic lettuce on California's Central Coast.
Organic lettuce, Lactuca sativa L., growers on the Central Coast of California rely on conservation biological control to manage Nasonovia ribisnigri Mosley (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and other aphid pests of lettuce. In 2006, we carried out five replicated field trials to determine the importance of syrphid larvae in the suppression of N. ribisnigri and other aphids infesting organic romaine lettu...
متن کاملMystromys albicaudatus – White-tailed Rat
Taxonomic notes: Originally described in the genus Otomys, molecular studies have confirmed that Mystromys belongs in the Nesomyidae family and represents a separate ancient lineage (the Mystromyinae) divergent from the Cricetomyinae, Dendromurinae, Petromyscinae and Nesomyinae (Jansa et al. 1999). This genus is monotypic and only one species is presently recognized, so this species is a phylog...
