Thrips domiciles protect larvae from desiccation in an arid environment
Desiccation is a particular risk for small animals in arid environments. In response, many organisms "construct niches," favorable microenvironments where they spend part or all of their life cycle. Some maintain such environments for their offspring via parental care. Insect eggs are often protected from desiccation by parentally derived gels, casings, or cocoons, but active parental protectio...
متن کاملSymbiotic Bacteria Protect Wasp Larvae from Fungal Infestation
Symbiotic associations between different organisms are of great importance for evolutionary and ecological processes [1-4]. Bacteria are particularly valuable symbiotic partners owing to their huge diversity of biochemical pathways that may open entirely new ecological niches for higher organisms [1-3]. Here, we report on a unique association between a new Streptomyces species and a solitary hu...
متن کاملNociceptive Neurons Protect Drosophila Larvae from Parasitoid Wasps
BACKGROUND Natural selection has resulted in a complex and fascinating repertoire of innate behaviors that are produced by insects. One puzzling example occurs in fruit fly larvae that have been subjected to a noxious mechanical or thermal sensory input. In response, the larvae "roll" with a motor pattern that is completely distinct from the style of locomotion that is used for foraging. RESU...
متن کاملSeptins restrict inflammation and protect zebrafish larvae from Shigella infection
Shigella flexneri, a Gram-negative enteroinvasive pathogen, causes inflammatory destruction of the human intestinal epithelium. Infection by S. flexneri has been well-studied in vitro and is a paradigm for bacterial interactions with the host immune system. Recent work has revealed that components of the cytoskeleton have important functions in innate immunity and inflammation control. Septins,...
متن کاملLocating Landfills in Arid Environment
Protection of the environment from solid waste hazards is becoming a serious problem. Different laws and legislations had been put into practice for this purpose. The effect of solid waste in developing countries with limited financial and natural resources and high population growth rate is more severe. To overcome these difficulties, prudent management system for solid waste is required. Furt...
