摘要:

This paper onGyrophaenaMann., a genus inhabiting the fruiting bodies of basidiomycete fungi, is in two sections: (1) Larval descriptions ofG. gentilisErichson,G. fasciata(Marsham),G. strictulaErichson andG. latissimaStephens. Determination was by adult association. The last two species, both now referred to subgenusAgaricochara,occur in harder fungi than the others, and both their adults and larvae have quadrate as against transverse heads. (2) An analysis of published untreated data. It is shown that hosts of a given species are often distantly related and any fungus with certain properties may be inhabited. Some preferred properties are: fungi that grow on wood, spore volume under 200 (im3, smooth spores, long period in which fruiting may occur, and host fungi fruit in July on average, i.e. earlier than non‐host

摘要:

The pretarsus ofPhidippus audax(Hentz) consists of two claws flexibly articulated to a central claw lever which is flanked on either side by a curved plate of tenent setae. The claw apparatus allows for retraction of the claws by means of a dorsal cuticular cable of the pretarsal levator, while extension involves the pull of the pretarsal depressor on a ventral cable attached to the claw lever. A series of slit sensilla are strategically situated on either side of this lever. The anterior and posterior claws of the pretarsus differ in the number and spacing of their constituent teeth. The claw tufts are composed of specialized setae which account for the mechanical traction of the foot‐pads. Whorled and filamentous setae of the distal tarsus are associated with the pretarsus. Comparable structures are found on other salticid

摘要:

The gobiid fishes of Rhodes are listed from past records and a recent collection made in 1970. Problems of identification and selected diagnostic features are described and illustrated. Additions to the species‐list includeChromogobius quadrivittatus, Ch. zebratus levanticus, Millerigobius macrocephalus,andZebrus zebrus,although a number of productive habitats remain to be explored. The genusZebrusis redefined, with osteological characters, and its single species,Z. zebrus,redescribed. A comparison withM. macrocephalustabulates features which may be used to distinguish the two tax

摘要:

Mean thermal preferenda for the head and body were found to be similar in Egernia whitei, E. cunninghami, and E. bungana (range in x̄ TH= 33.6o‐33.8oC; range in x̄ TB= 34.0o‐35.3oC). However, those for E. majors were significantly lower (x̄TH= 31.1oC, x̄ TB=32.9oC). Significant differences were found between mean head and body preferred temperatures in E. cunninghami and E. major. Higher temperatures were tolerated by the body than the head in all four species. Gaping was not observed to occur prior to cessation of respiration in any of the four species during radiant or solar heating. Based upon thermal preferenda and critical thermal maxima data, thermal safety margins for body temperature were calculated for E. whitei and E. cunninghami Postural orientation to the sun's rays increased and decreased heat gain. The seeking of shade was the most effective method employed by all four species for reducing head and body temp
