Influence of food quantity, larval density and size of rearing container on intra-instar cannibalism in fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
The rearing of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda larvae in cohorts is usually associated with high levels of cannibalism-induced mortalities...

Experimental evidence for stronger impacts of larval but not adult rearing temperature on female fertility and lifespan in a seed beetle
Temperature impacts behaviour, physiology and life-history of many life forms. In many ectotherms, phenotypic plasticity within reproductive traits...

Evaluation of different larval substrates on selected parameters of african palm weevil (Rhynchophorus phoenicis) (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Proteins and carbohydrate contents of a substrate are two important macronutrients that gives organisms the energy and necessary amino acids that...

Sublethal exposure to Microcystis aeruginosa extracts during the yolk-sac larval stage reduces aerobic swimming speed in juvenile zebrafish
This study examined whether the aerobic swimming capacity of zebrafish juveniles is affected by the exposure of the yolk-sac larvae to sublethal...

Evidence for the importance of invasive Dreissena veligers as a novel prey item for larval fish in Lake Huron
The establishment of invasive dreissenid mussels Dreissena polymorpha and Dreissena rostriformis bugensis in the Laurentian Great Lakes has affected...

Empirical verification of feeding selectivity of larval and juvenile pelagic fishes using in-situ zooplankton assemblages
Most studies on the feeding ecology of larvae and juveniles of commercially important pelagic fishes have used field-based approaches. However, due...

Pelagic larval duration of the Meso-American reef fish, Halichoeres socialis (Labridae)
Halichoeres socialis Randall & Lobel, 2003, is the only wrasse species (Teleostei: Labridae), with a distribution confined within the Western...

Turbidity effects on prey consumption and survival of larval European smelt (Osmerus eperlanus)
The anadromous European smelt ( Osmerus eperlanus ) plays a key role in food webs of many riverine ecosystems in Europe. However, population sizes in...

Effects of temperature and salinity on the larval early development, growth, and settlement of the diploid, triploid, and tetraploid Pacific oyster “Haida No. 2” strain
Tetraploids play a crucial role in the large-scale production of all-triploid Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas by mating with diploids. For nursery...

Effects of temperature and diet on larval development of the endangered ground beetle Pterostichus isumiensis (Coleoptera, Carabidae)
Insect growth is affected by various factors, and the elucidation of these factors is important from both basic and applied perspectives. This study...

Serodiagnosis of nasal myasis in camels (Camelus dromedaries) in Egypt using third larval instar affinity-purified glycoprotein
The larvae of Cephalopina titillator cause nasopharyngeal myiasis in camels, which parasitize the living tissues of the nasal and paranasal sinuses,...
-
Different larval diets for Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) under laboratory conditions: in preparation for a mass-rearing system
Larval diet is one of the key factors in establishing a mass-rearing/production system for Wolbachia -based approaches that promotes high-quality and...

The distribution of marine gastropods is more influenced by larval development than by adult characteristics
The larval stage is a critical aspect of the biology of most marine animals, impacting not only the species fitness but also its bathymetric and...

Depth stratified light trap sampling reveals variation in the depth distribution of late-stage cryptobenthic reef fish larvae
Cryptobenthic fishes are abundant on coral reefs, and their larvae dominate the ichthyoplankton in near reef waters. However, we have a limited...
-
Variable food alters responses of larval crown-of-thorns starfish to ocean warming but not acidification
Phytoplankton abundance is decreasing and becoming more variable as the ocean climate changes. We examine how low, high, and variable phytoplankton...

Ontogeny of Larval Pearl-Spotted Killifish Paraphanius mento (Aphaniidae) Distributed in the Nemrut Crater Lake (Eastern Turkiye): A Histological and Microscopic Perspective
AbstractIn this study, it was aimed to determine the larval ontogeny of Paraphanius mento (Heckel, 1843), which is distributed in Nemrut Crater Lake...

Carryover effects in a sea star: juvenile resource availability does not compensate for a poor larval environment
Carryover effects are widespread in nature and can link early-life experiences to the regulation of populations. However, for organisms with complex...

Laboratory evaluation of toxicity of selected insecticides against egg and larval stages of cotton pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)
BackgroundThe cryptic nature of pink bollworm Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) larvae enables its reduced vulnerability to insecticidal control....

Larval dispersal from an energetic tidal channel and implications for blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) shellfisheries
Complex coastal currents control early-stage larval dispersal from intertidal populations, and late-stage settlement patterns, but are often poorly...

Opportunistic observations of reproductive mode, larval settlement and development of a New Zealand deep-sea stony coral, Goniocorella dumosa
Little is known of the reproductive traits and dispersal potential of many deep-sea corals, and in-aquarium spawning has been observed for very few...
