Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) and fleas (Insecta: Siphonaptera) were recovered from 8 smoky shrews, Sorex fumeus Miller, and 9 northern short-tailed shrews, Blarina brevicauda (Say), trapped at elevations of 720-1,310 m in Macon and Jackson counties in western North Carolina and Union County in northern Georgia from April 1994 to August 1995. The ticks Ixodes angustus Neumann and Ixodes woodi Bishopp...

The spermathecal morphology of nine species belonging to the Pentatomidae (Insecta: Heteroptera) were compared by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Among the examined species [Rhaphigaster nebulosa (Poda 1761), Palomena prasina (Linnaeus 1761), Piezodorus lituratus (Fabricius 1794), Graphosoma lineatum (Linnaeus 1758), Graphosoma semipunctatum (Fabricius 1775), Aelia albovittata (...

Viticulture is one of the oldest and most profitable forms agriculture; it also intensive farming systems. As cultivation threatens environment, there increasing interest in concept sustainability within wine industry, as well new business opportunities, customers begin to pay more attention environmental issues. Recognizing key role soil quality environmentally economically sustainable viticul...

Among the winged insects (Pterygota) the Dragonflies and Damselflies (Odonata) are unique for several reasons. Behaviourally they are aerial predators that hunt and catch their prey in flight, only. Morphologically the flight apparatus of Odonata is significantly different from what is found in the remaining Pterygota. However, to understand the phylogenetic relationships of winged insects and ...

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Hedya salicella (the White-backed Marble; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Tortricidae). The sequence is 742.3 megabases in span. Most of the scaffolded into 25 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including Z sex chromosome. mitochondrial has also been assembled and 16.3 kilobases length. Gene annotation this on Ense...

The infraorder Gerromorpha (Insecta, Hemiptera, Heteroptera) comprises semiaquatic bugs, most of which live on the water surface, among floating plants or at margins bodies. We made collections these insects in Itapecuru and Parnaíba hydrographical basins eastern Maranhão state, northeastern Brazil, from January to December 2019. Based material obtained, we present new rec...

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Lysandra coridon (the Chalkhill Blue; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Lycaenidae). The sequence is 541 megabases in span. Most of the scaffolded into 90 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including assembled Z sex chromosome. mitochondrial has also been and 15.4 kilobases length. Gene annotation this on Ensembl ide...

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Zeuzera pyrina (the Leopard Moth, Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Cossidae). The sequence is 687 megabases in span. Most of the scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including assembled Z sex chromosome. mitochondrial has also been and 15.3 kilobases length. Gene annotation this on Ensembl identifie...

 The population structure of Aphanius anatoliae in Lake Eğirdir-Isparta-Turkey was studied, using 522 fish monthly in 2008. This study were observed in the number of individuals of each sex, age, weight and size compositions. In addition, the total length-weight relationship was calculated as well as the Von Bertalanffy growth equation. A study of the food uptake throughout the year h...
