SUMMARY The following are the results of qualitative analysis of the visual and chemical signals and nest-building behaviour in Colisa lalia and C. labiosa under different experimental conditions: 1. Visual communication without any water contact between the test tank male and the female in the internal transparent container (Fig. 1 A); neither isospecific nor heterospecific pairs of either species showed reproductive behavioural changes. 2. Chemical communication through continuous water circulation between the female's external optically isolated glass container and the male's test tank (Fig. 1 B); an increase of aggressiveness and colour followed by nest-building by the male was induced. This test was performed on isospecific and heterospecific pairs of both species. 3. Actual contact (Fig. 1 E), isospecific pairs began their regular reproductive behaviour; heterospecific pairs displayed no reproductive behavioural changes. 4. Chemical communication with the test tank male in water exchange with a pair...

SUMMARY Previous investigations carried out in our laboratory on Kalotermes flavicollis Fabr. had shown that the royal pair exerts a stimulatory action on pseudergate differentiation into soldiers, while the latter have an inhibitory influence on it (SPRINGHETTI, 1969). The present experiments have shown that the pseudergate moulting interval is of fairly variable duration, from 18 to 140 days, with a mean of about 70 days. Its average duration, however, is the same both in specimens differentiating into soldiers and in those undergoing a larval moult. Pseudergates display a rather short competence period for differentiation into soldiers during the second half of the moulting interval: possibly between the 45th and 60th day. Pseudergates are responsive only during their competence period, to the antagonistic stimuli exerted by the royals and soldiers respectively. The absence of soldiers prior to the 40th day does not elicit the differentiation of new soldiers (even in the presence of the reproductives);...

SUMMARY The morphology of the Leydig cells and of the myoid peritubular cells in the testis of the Gotting mini-pig (Sus scrofa L.) is described at the optic microscope and electron microscope levels. The Leydig cells, which are more abundant than in any other mammalian species, are large and of two types, although intermediate stages exist. Type I show a clear nucleus devoid of large eterochromatine blocks, a large cytoplasm; mitochondria with poorly developed cristae are packed in the centre of the cell. The SER, with enlarged tubules and vesicles, is well developed at the periphery of the cell. The RER is scanty. Type II cells show a nucleus richer in eterochromatin, mitochondria equipped with many tubular cristae and more scattered, a SER made up of narrow tubules and a more abundant RER. The Δ-5-3-β-HSDII reaction is strongly positive in all the cells. The two cellular types probably correspond to different functional stages. The seminiferous tubule wall appears to be formed by a double connective la...

SUMMARY Qualitative and quantitative changes in free amino acids (FAA) and total carbohydrates, lipids and proteins in the excreta of successive larval instars of Trabala vishnou Lef. (Insecta Lepidoptera) have been studied. Only four FAA—aspartic acid, γ-aminobutyric acid, leucines and serine/glycine—were common in the excreta of all the larval instars. Seventeen FAA were present in the excreta of instar I. Glutamine, lysine, proline, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine and valine disappeared from the excreta of instars II-V. The total FAA content and other constituents present in the excreta decreased during larval growth. Individually, most of the FAA followed this broad pattern of quantitative change. However, the leucines present in the excreta generally increased. Changes in these constituents have been related to various physiological events during larval growth.
摘要:对不同龄期特拉巴拉(Trabala vishnou Lef)幼虫排泄物中游离氨基酸(FAA)和总碳水化合物、脂肪和蛋白质的定性和定量变化进行了研究。(昆虫纲鳞翅目)。只有天冬氨酸、γ-氨基丁酸、亮氨酸和丝氨酸/甘氨酸在所有幼虫的排泄物中常见。1龄虫排泄物中存在17种FAA, ii ~ v龄虫排泄物中谷氨酰胺、赖氨酸、脯氨酸、苏氨酸、色氨酸、酪氨酸和缬氨酸消失。在幼虫生长过程中，粪便中总FAA含量和其他成分含量下降。个别而言，大多数联邦航空局都遵循这种广泛的数量变化模式。然而，排泄物中的亮氨酸普遍增加。这些成分的变化与幼虫生长过程中的各种生理事件有关。

SUMMARY The morphological changes in the pars nervosa of the crested newt caused by transection of the hypothalamic floor just in front of the median eminence, were studied at various postoperative intervals. One to 2 days after the operation some dense bodies can be observed within the neurosecretory fibres. However, the most conspicuous changes are detectable after 4 to 7 days. Neurosecretory fibres, appear heavily electrondense as the elementary granules become more densely packed. The fibres often break into fragments and appear widely separated from one another, modifying the general pattern of the pars nervosa. Both ependymal cells and pituicytes are characterized by a strong macrophagic activity towards degenerating nerve fibres which often appear to be engulfed by them. Myelin-like formations containing vacuoles, empty vesicles and dense granules (1200–2000 A in diameter) can be observed among the nerve fibres. Pituicytes, generally rare in the normal animal, show an apparent increase in their num...

SUMMARY We have described the vascular network of the digestive gland of Eobania vermiculata (Muller), with special reference to the ultrastructure of endothelial-like cells forming the capillary wall. These cells functionally correspond to elements of the normal endothelium but possess some exclusive ultrastructural features. The particular position of the cell nuclei and the relationship to the surrounding connective tissue (the loose perivascular connective tissue and interstitial vesicular cells) are shown. Irregular microvilli and pinocytosis vesicles are found on both inner and outer surfaces and oriented bundles of filaments occupy the central portion of the cytoplasm, anchoring to the plasmalemma. The hypothesis is advanced that these filaments are contractile in nature and, therefore, endothelial-like cells are retained capable of autoregulative processes, in order to adjust the calibre of the capillary lumen according to the rate of blood-tissue exchanges.

The osteological characterisation of family Chacidae as well as genus Chaca is provided: very broad and depressed skull; very wide mouth gape bounded by unequal jaws; quite broad ethmoid with long and stout cornua; strongly projecting lateral ethmoid; toothless but conspicuous vomer; forked lachrymal; suborbitals lacking; very much reduced nasals; occipital process peculiarly modified. Movable premaxillae, quite large and broad palatine; minute ectopterygoid; hyomandibula solely sustained from the sphenotic; single hypohyal; eight branchiostegal rays; no basibranchials and gill-rakers and single pharyngobranchial. 3. The relationship of the family Chacidae with the Siluridae, Plotosidae, Bagridae and Sisoridae on the evidence of osteology is discussed and osteological support is found for its close affinity with the Sisoridae. 4.

SUMMARY The sibling species A. atroparvus (van Thiel) and A. labranchiae (Falleroni) (Diptera Culicidae) were studied from a cytological viewpoint, using techniques which seem able to show constitutive heterochromatin (C banding) and/or the possible presence of specific base sequences perhaps bound to particular chromatinic proteins (Q banding) in metaphase chromosomes of cytological preparations from brains and/or testes. The responses to these techniques confirmed previous cytological, biochemical-genetic and ethological observations, on the basis of which the collocation of these two species as sibling species within the maculipennis (Meigen) group of the Anopheles genus was determined. The structure of A. labranchiae chromatin seems to be different that of A. atroparvus, expecially after Q banding.

The responses to these techniques confirmed previous cytological, biochemical-genetic and ethological observations, on the basis of which the collocation of these two species as sibling species within the maculipennis (Meigen) group of the Anopheles genus was determined. The structure of A. labranchiae chromatin seems to be different that of A. atroparvus, expecially after Q banding.","PeriodicalId":19014,"journal":{"name":"Monitore Zoologico Italiano-Italian Journal of Zoology","volume":"264 13-16","pages":"211-218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91509034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
