Our results partially confirmed condition dependent trade-offs between weapon size and immunity in male earwigs. Specifically, we found that after an immune challenge, weapon size trades off with hemocyte concentrations in low-condition, but not in good-condition males. Contrastingly, weapon size was...
3a,b). The gregarines were in brownish yellow or brownish black color. The gamonts contained a protomerite (pm) and deutomerite (dm) that can be differentiated by size and the presence of the nucleus. The gamonts were divided by an always present septum (Fig. 2, arrow). The front ...
[5] with a few sparse discoveries world wide,[6] such as Mexico,[7] and Brazil.[8] In Poland and Austria, and a few other parts of Europe, the presence of the fungus Furia shandongensi W.M. Wang, W.H. Lu & Z.Z. Li (1994) has been found on earwigs.[9...
The evolutionary divergence betweenmarinersequences within each one of the 22 analyzed species shows very low values (0.001 to 0.036) (TableS2). Similarly, the evolutionary divergences between elements isolated from different species also show very low values (0.001 to 0.050) (TableS3). Accordingly,...
