This is a valuable and rigorous study that addresses the question of what determines the spatial organization of endocytic zones at synapses. The authors use compelling approaches, in both Drosophila ...

[3] Muscidae (Diptera) of forensic importance—an identification key to third instar larvae of the western Palaearctic region and a catalogue of the muscid carrion community.

Force sensing and control are of paramount importance in robotic micromanipulation. A contact force regulator capable of accurately applying mechanical stimuli to a live Drosophila larva could greatly ...

In this paper Weber et al. investigate the role of 4 dopaminergic neurons of the Drosophila larva in mediating the association between an aversive high-salt stimulus and a neutral odor. The 4 DANs ...

In a third possible response, the larva releases silk from their labial glands toward the predator during the artificial attack (Fig. 2A). The larva positioned itself with a lifted thorax and loose ...

The increase of protein in the diets had a positive effect on the dimensions of the larvae, such as cephalopharyngeal skeleton (EC) and body size (G) (Table 4). Both the EC (F 3,111 =93.15, P<0.01, ...

A series of novel fraxinellone derivatives modified at the C-1 or C-8 position in the B ring were prepared as insecticidal agents against the pre-third-instar larvae of oriental armyworm, Mythimna ...
