SUMMARY The adenohypophysial pars intermedia of the crested newt reared under natural light conditions (M.I. = 3 to 4) is characterized by: a) secretory cells exhibiting moderately developted rough endoplasmic reticulum and fairly numerous secretion granules displaced to the apical cell region facing the perivascular space, and b) by non-glandular, spider-shaped cells. In the animals exposed to continuous illumination in white containers the skin is seen to become paler (M.I. = 1 to 2). The secretory cells of the pars intermedia appear crammed with secretion granules. Profiles of the rough endoplasmic reticulum are scanty. On the contrary, in the animals reared in the dark in black containers, a striking skin darkening takes place (M.I. = 4 to 5). The pars intermedia secretory cells reveal a definite decrease in the population of endocellular granules and a developed, rough endoplasmic reticulum, characterized by enlarged cisternae filled granular or filamentous material. Among the glandular cells, under ...

SUMMARY Further data are reported on morphological and genetic differentiation among western Mediterranean populations of Discoglossus (Amphibia Salientia Discoglossidae). A new species is described from the Iberian Peninsula: D. galganoi n.sp., and its genetic divergence from the other Discoglossus taxa is analyzed. In spite of being morphologically similar, D. galganoi and D. pictus are genetically much differentiated: as many as 12 out of the 35 loci electrophoretically tested show distinct alleles in the two species. This allows an easy identification of larvae and adults, both males and females, of D. galganoi and D. pictus, as well as of the other west Mediterranean Discoglossus species, by means of biochemical keys. Two of such keys, based respectively on the loci lactate dehydrogenase-1 (Ldh-1) and adenosine deaminase (Ada) are reported. An attempt is made to estimate the time of evolutionary divergence between the taxa from their genetic distance using both NEI'S formula (1975) and SARICH'S calib...

SUMMARY In both sexes of L. lusitanica, light emission may consist of flashes as well as of dim light emitted for variable time intervals. Flying males emit an average of 1.08 flashes per second at a temperature of 17°C with occasional dim light emissions during the interflash period. Male flashes may be variable in form and length but are usually composed of a very intense peak accompanied by a series of minor ones. Dim light, which on some occasion has the function of illumination, consists either in a close succession of brief irregular flashes or in a more regular flickering. Females, which do not fly, have little spontaneous flashing activity. Their flashes are usually composed of three peaks, with the interval between the first two peaks increasing exponentially at decreasing temperatures (~ 77 msec at 26°C, 245 msec at 10°C). Females regularly respond with a flash to each light stimulus of steeply rising intensity, regardless of stimulus intensity, length, or spectral range (at least between about ...

SUMMARY The amphipod Talitrus saltator migrates from the moist zone near the shoreline inland to feed. The landward migration mainly occurs during the first few hours after midnight. The seaward migration take place around sunrise. The differences from night to night in the intensity of the landward migration are probably related to the quantity of food in the moist zone near the sea and to the level of environmental humidity.

RIASSUNTO L'Autore descrive Bogidiella somala n.sp., raccolta in pozzi situati nel bacino del medio Uebi Scebeli (Somalia). La specie appare notevolmente isolata entro il genere per la particolare conformazione delle mandibole e del palpo mandibolare allungatissimo (Fig. 2 A), per le piastre coxali molto ampie (Fig. 2 C), per la costituzione dei pereiopodi del quintosettimo paio, con basipodite allargato (Fig. 4 B, D). B. somala (con B. tabascensis Villalobos e B. bredini Shoemaker) ha una struttura generale di tipo cavernicolo e si contrappone percio alle numerose forme di tipo mesopsammico-interstiziale. Il rinvenimento di B. somala ha anche un rilevante interesse zoogeografico, dato che per tutta l'Africa intertropicale non si conoscevano fino ad oggi Gammaridi, sia per le acque dolci superficiali, che per quelle sotterranee.

SUMMARY We have studied prolactin binding sites in Xenopus laevis (Daudin) (Anura Pipidae) kidney by autoradiography and immunocytochemistry. By the autoradiographic technique after intracardiac injection of 125I- oPRL labelling is appreciable in Xenopus laevis kidney at the level of the large vessels and capillaries, the renal corpuscle and, to a variable extent, within the lumina and epithelial cells of the proximal convoluted tubules. Compared to the autoradiographic reaction, the immunocytochemical method failed to reveal the hormone when extremely low doses of it were injected but allowed a much more exact localization of prolactin uptake by the epithelial cells of the proximal convoluted tubules. On the basis of the autoradiographs we could not ascertain wheter, or to what extent, the hormone was bound to specific renal cell PRL receptors: in fact, not only insulin and luteinizing hormone, but also unlabelled prolactin, injected as a specific competitor, failed to bring about the recognizable displa...

SUMMARY Previous research had shown that asexual specimens of fissiparous Dugesia gonocephala s.l. stopped fissioning and developed a hermaphroditic genital apparatus if fed for several weeks on the crushed tissues of sexually mature Polycelis nigra Ehr., a non-fissiparous planarian. The present research shows that the sexualizing substance, probably a neurosecretion, is also present in the tissues of sexually mature Dugesia lugubris s.l., Dugesia dorolocephala (Woodworth), Dugesia anceps Kenk and Dendrocoelum lacteum (O.

There is a clear different in the capacity of each fissiparous species or strain to react to the sexualizing substances: while many asexual strains of Dugesia gonocephala s.l., Dugesia tigrina (Girard) and Dugesia Pdorotocephala (race from Sabino) reacted more-or-less positively to the treatment, agamic Dugesia dorotocephala, Dugesia mediterranea Benazzi et al.
