Survival, physical and physiological changes of Taenia hydatigena eggs under different conditions of water stress
(Elsevier, 2017-06-24)
Taenia hydatigena eggs were investigated for morphological and physiological changes under water stress conditions. Fresh eggs were exposed at 31%, 47% and 89% of relative humidity (RH), and survival, size and ultrastructural ...
Aggregated oviposition in Rhodnius prolixus, sensory cues and physiological consequences
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-04)
Females of the haematophagous bug Rhodnius prolixus attach their eggs in clusters on substrates related to their hosts, such as nests or avian feathers. Because the hosts are an enormous food resource as well as potential ...
Physical and chemical characteristics of fertile and infertile eggs of wild Caiman latirostris
(Elsevier Science, 2018-12-01)
In oviparous species, physico-chemical characteristics of eggs are an indicator of maternal physiological traits and environmental conditions of the site where the females develop. In this study, we aim to (a) determine ...
Egg production in relation to paternal weight in a freshwater caridean shrimp (Decapoda)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-04)
In diverse invertebrate species, sperm quantity and quality are positively correlated with male size, egg fertilization rates being consequently affected by paternal weight. This factor may also have an indirect effect on ...
