Identification of larvae of the wireworm complex (Coleoptera: Elateridae) collected from wheat and barley crops in MontanaMoralesRodriguez Anuar
The relative mRNA expression levels ofV-ATPasewere normalized to the most suited (A,ActinandEF1A) and the least suited (B,RPL4andHSP70) reference genes, respectively. For dietary RNAi, ladybeetle larvae were exposed to an artificial diet containing 15% sugar solution and 4.0 μg/μl dsRNAs...
The red palm weevil (RPW) Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is one of the major pests of palms. The larvae bore into the palm trunk and feed on the palm tender tissues and sap, leading the host tree to death. The gut microbiot
yellow. The legs and antennae are dark brown. Larvae of banded ash borers range from 2/5 to nearly 1 inch (10 to 22 mm) in length, depending on age. They are white in color, with constrictions indicating body segments. Segments towards the front of the body are broader, leading to t...
In this study, 207 strains of aerobic and facultatively anaerobic cellulolytic bacteria were isolated from the gut of Holotrichia parallela larvae. These bacterial isolates were assigned to 21 genotypes by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (AR
yunnanus and provide an identification key to individual instars. Shape of anal plate of L3 found shortly after ecdysis is different from the plate of older larvae and therefore its value as differential character is limited. We also discuss the function of egg-bursters and the course of ...
Larvae were transferred to 24-well plates (Becton Dickinson Labware, NJ, USA) to induce pupation. Identification of sex-specific genome sequences in G. cornutus via RAPD-PCR The sex of G. cornutus is indistinguishable by external morphology during larval and prepupal periods, so we developed ...

DNA barcoding of insects is commonly used for identification45, in which universal primers46 are used to amplify the 5′ fragment of mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI) gene region or the “Folmer” region (~700 bp) (Fig. 1). However, no complete Folmer region sequences for SHB ...
Thus, we used a number of galleries in which both adults and larvae were present to assess the mating system through parentage assignment; a number of galleries that contained only adults or larvae were then added to the analysis to further test the assignment and relatedness. The sex of ...
