Weaving through a cryptic species: Comparing the Neotropical ants Camponotus senex and Camponotus textor (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-08-01)
Camponotus senex (Fr. Smith 1858) and Camponotus textor Forel, 1899 are commonly confused species in the New World tropics. We provide morphological characteristics based on the larvae and adults, behavioural differences, ...
Comparative morphology of stridulating setae of Theraphosinae (Araneae: Theraphosidae)
(2019-11-01)
Theraphosid spiders are repleted with cuticular structures that evolved into distinct morphologies and developed different functions. The stridulatory apparatus present in the subfamily Theraphosinae is composed by a group ...
Ultrastructure of the excretory duct in the silk gland of the sugarcane borer Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera : Pyralidae)
(Elsevier B.V., 2002-02-01)
The excretory duct in the silk gland of the sugarcane borer Diatraea saccharalis consists of two morphologically distinct regions, recognized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The thin posterior region, ...

Different responses in Mandarin cultivars uncover a role of cuticular waxes in the resistance to citrus canker
(American Phytopathological Society, 2020-06)
'Okitsu' is a mandarin cultivar showing substantial resistance to X. citri subsp. citri (X. citri). We have previously shown that this cultivar has significantly lower canker incidence and severity than 'Clemenules', ...
Exploring integument transcriptomes, cuticle ultrastructure, and cuticular hydrocarbons profiles in eusocial and solitary bee species displaying heterochronic adult cuticle maturation
(Public Library Science, 2019-03-14)
Differences in the timing of exoskeleton melanization and sclerotization are evident when comparing eusocial and solitary bees. This cuticular maturation heterochrony may be associated with life style, considering that ...
An Early Cretaceous zamiaceous cycad of South West Gondwana: Restrepophyllum nov. gen. from Patagonia, Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2010-07)
The record of Cycadales in Patagonia begins in the Triassic and extends up to the Oligocene. In this region the group is highly diversified and includes several taxa represented by trunks, leaves and pollen cones. A new ...
