Scanning Electron Microscopic Examination Of The Putative Olfactory Structures Possessed By The Phorid Fly, Megaselia Halterata (Diptera, Phoridae), R. M. Pfeil, R. A. Walsh, R. O. Mumma
Scanning Microscopy
The antennae, palps, and mouth parts sheath of Megaselia halterata (Wood) (Diptera, Phoridae) were examined by scanning electron microscopy to locate putative olfactory sensilla (POS). Most POS were found on the third antenna! segment (Johnston's organ). These POS included a lanceolate peg, a bulbous peg, and two types of pit sensilla. Female flies could be distinguished from males by the predominance of the lanceolate peg on the female Johnston's organ. One type of pit sensillum with a single exterior opening was located below the cuticular surface and housed several pegs. The other type of pit sensillum was domed with a …
Ecdysterone Regulatory Elements Function As Both Transcriptional Activators And Repressors., Leonard Dobens, Karen Rudolph, Edward M. Berger
Ecdysterone Regulatory Elements Function As Both Transcriptional Activators And Repressors., Leonard Dobens, Karen Rudolph, Edward M. Berger
Dartmouth Scholarship
A synthetic, 23-bp ecdysterone regulatory element (EcRE), derived from the upstream region of the Drosophila melanogaster hsp27 gene, was inserted adjacent to the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase promoter fused to a bacterial gene for chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT). Hybrid constructs were transfected into Drosophila S3 cells and assayed for ecdysterone-inducible CAT expression. In the absence of ecdysterone a tandem pair of EcREs repressed the high constitutive level of CAT activity found after transfection with the parent reporter plasmid alone. After hormone addition very high levels of CAT activity were observed. Insertion of the EcRE pair 3' of the CAT gene …
Scanning Electron Microscope Study Of Wohlfahrtia Magnifica (Schiner, 1862) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) I. Structures With Parasitic And Possible Taxonomic Meaning, I. Ruíz-Martínez, M. D. Soler-Cruz, R. Benítez-Rodríguez, J. M. Pérez-Jiménez, C. Adalid-Fuentes, M. Díaz-López
Scanning Electron Microscope Study Of Wohlfahrtia Magnifica (Schiner, 1862) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) I. Structures With Parasitic And Possible Taxonomic Meaning, I. Ruíz-Martínez, M. D. Soler-Cruz, R. Benítez-Rodríguez, J. M. Pérez-Jiménez, C. Adalid-Fuentes, M. Díaz-López
Scanning Microscopy
The larval development of Wohlfahrtia magnifica (the most important dipteran causing sheep myiasis in the Palearctic region) has been studied by means of scanning electron microscopy. The ultrastructure of mouth-hooks, oral ridges, labial lobes, body spines and anterior and posterior peritremes is described for the first time. Their possible adaptations to a parasitic lifeway are also discussed. Thus, the use of new structures in the Sarcophagidae taxonomy is proposed from the point of view of their ultrastructure and adaptative morphology.

Preparation Of Dipteran Larvae For Scanning Electron Microscopy With Special Reference To Myiasigen Dipteran Species, I. Ruiz-Martinez, M. D. Soler-Cruz, R. Benitez-Rodriguez, M. Diaz Lopez, J. M. Perez-Jimenez
Scanning Microscopy
Although controversy exists concerning the role of chemical fixatives in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies of Dipteran larvae, we have observed that filtered 10% formaldehyde solution gives excellent results as a preservative. After immersing in vivo in formaldehyde, the larvae material is preserved for prolonged periods (up to 8 months), before examination with SEM. As a fixative, formaldehyde preserves the structure of the larval cuticle and produces no visible artifacts. Moreover, postfixation is not necessary.
Due to pecularities of the way of life of Wohlfahrtia magnifica (principally the accumulations of necrotic tissue, purulent particles, and other types of substances that …
A Technique For Physiologically Age-Grading Female Stable Flies, Stomoxys Calcitrans (L.), P. J. Scholl
A Technique For Physiologically Age-Grading Female Stable Flies, Stomoxys Calcitrans (L.), P. J. Scholl
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
A method of dissection followed by staining was initiated to allow physiological age- grading based on ovarian development in order to more completely describe the physiological development of adult female stable flies [Stomoxys calcitrans (L. )]. The gonotrophic developmental continuum from a non-differentiated cell in teneral females to mature eggs at the time of oviposition was first arbitrarily divided into six stages by using distinct landmarks within the developing oocyte . Then, nulliparous, uniparous, and biparous+ females were differentiated on the basis of the presence or absence of stained follicular relics in the ovariole sheaths. The combination of the …
Association Of Aquatic Insects To Macrophytes In An Agricultural Drainage Ditch, Kevin King, John Flypaa, Henry W. Quade
Association Of Aquatic Insects To Macrophytes In An Agricultural Drainage Ditch, Kevin King, John Flypaa, Henry W. Quade
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
The aquatic insects associated with five species of aquatic macrophytes were collected and identified from a drainage ditch in Le Suer County. A total of 21,160 specimens from eight orders were recovered with Diptera being the dominant. Tests of association, using the Coefficient of Community and Percent Similarity revealed a unique community associated with Potamogeton nodosus. Further, the authors found that the same information generated from the study could have been accomplished without the detailed taxonomy.

Tb95: The Black Flies Of Maine, L. S. Bauer, J. Granett
Technical Bulletins
Black flies have been long-time residents of Maine and cause extensive nuisance problems for people, domestic animals, and wildlife. The black fly problem has no simple solution because of the multitude of species present, the diverse and ecologically sensitive habitats in which they are found, and the problems inherent in measuring the extent of the damage they cause. To improve the understanding of the nature of the black fly problem, an inventory of black fly species and habitats was made throughout the state. Previous black fly surveys in Maine have been geographically limited. In the present survey, black flies were …
Bionomics Of A Subterranean Gall Midge (Diptera : Cecidomyiidae) From Artemisia Ludoviciana, Ranasinghe
Bionomics Of A Subterranean Gall Midge (Diptera : Cecidomyiidae) From Artemisia Ludoviciana, Ranasinghe
Theses and Dissertations
Bionomics of a gall midge that emerged from nodulelike structures of herbaceous sage, Artemisia ludoviciana Nutt., was studied as a part of a larger investigation on possible nitrogen fixation by this plant. Infested plants collected from the field were regularly examined in the laboratory where some of them were grown in a liquid nutrient medium. In the laboratory, adult midges were reared from the pupae and induction of infestation was attempted. Apparent nodulation on these plants is caused by the subterranean bud galls of a previously unknown gall midge species, Rhopalomyia subhumilis Gagne. The life history of this midge is …

The Population Dynamics Of Tanypus Stellatus Coquillett (Diptera: Chironomidae) In Goshen Bay Of Utah Lake, Dennis Kenji Shiozawa
Theses and Dissertations
The population dynamics of Tanypus stellatus in Goshen Bay of Utah Lake was investigated from July 18, 1973, to August 5, 1974. Samples were collected from three stations with an Ekman grab and a K-B corer. The samples were washed in a 110 micron nitex screen and then floated in a sucrose solution. The K-B core was used to determine the vertical distribution of Tanypus stellatus. Ninety-six percent of the Tanypus stellatus larvae are located in the top five centimeters; 99 percent are less than ten centimeters deep. The Ekman grab was used to study the population dynamics of the …
