Phylogenetic Studies of Trombidioid Mites INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “ target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)” . I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they arc spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of cither blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent' frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin film ing at the upper left hand corner o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. I f necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. University Microfilms International 300 N.

  • The Circadian Rhythm and Visual Elements in Scorpions: a Review
    Arthropods, 2013, 2(4): 150-158 Article The circadian rhythm and visual elements in scorpions: A review M. R. Warburg Dept. of Biology, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa 32000, Israel E-mail: [email protected] Received 12 August 2013; Accepted 15 September 2013; Published online 1 December 2013 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to review the state of research in this field and to outline future ways how to proceed. The term: "Zeitgeber", implies ‘time giver’ meaning: synchronizer when an external entrainment factor synchronizes the endogenous rhythm. Is this ‘time’, the chronological date in the sense that it is related to the time of day as reflected in the natural light-dark cycles? Or does it mean cyclic phases of activity as demonstrated in the laboratory? Moreover, is it totally independent of the animal's physiological condition? This subject was studied largely in buthid species (15) of a total of only 30 scorpion species. Moreover, many (over 25%) of the studies (19) were done on a single buthid species: Androctonus australis. Species diversity was observed only by one author’s work who studied eye structure in seven species. Since he found variability in eye structure it would not be advisable to generalize. The fact that experimenting was carried out irrespective of species diversity, gender, ecological or physiological conditions, and was usually done on animals kept in captivity for some time before the experimenting had started, is a major drawback to this kind of study. The diurnal rhythms is triggered either directly through spontaneous arrhythmic activity in the central nervous system, or by neurosecretory material.

A total of 60 species of orthopteroid insects were identified, belonging to 58 genera from 17 families and 5 orders. Mantids are represented by 3 families, 6 genera and 6 species; cockroaches – by 2 families, 2 genera and 2 species; earwigs – by 3 families, 3 genera and 3 species; sticks insects – by 1 family, 1 genus and 1 species. Orthopterans are most numerous (8 families, 46 genera and 48 species). Of these, three species, Bolivaria brachyptera, Hierodula tenuidentata and Ceraeocercus fuscipennis, are listed in the Red Book of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Celes variabilis and Chrysochraon dispar indicated for the first time for a given location. The fauna of orthopteroid insects in the studied areas of Kyzylorda is compared with other regions of Kazakhstan.

    Ectoparasites of Pine Voles, Microtus pinetorum, from Clark County, Illinois D. David Pascal, Jr. and John O. Whitaker, Jr. Department of Life Sciences Indiana State University Terre Haute, Indiana 47809 Introduction In studies on pine voles, only Hamilton (1938) and Benton (1955), both working in New York, attempted to collect and identify external parasites. Hamilton noted the mite, Laelaps kochi Oudemans, 1936 and lice of the genus Hoplopleura to be par- ticularly numerous. Benton reported Hoplopleura acanthopus (Burmeister, 1839) and Androlaelaps fahrenholzi (Berlese, 191 1) as the most abundant pine vole ectoparasites. Ferris (1921) reported H. acanthopus from pine voles in New York and Iowa. Another louse, Polyplax spinulosa (Burmeister, 1839), was found to infest pine voles in Georgia (Morlan, 1952), although Rattus norvegicus and R. rattus are the true hosts for this louse (Pratt and Karp, 1953; Wilson, 1961). The occurrence on pine voles was accidental. Mite records (other than chiggers) on Microtus pinetorum have been summarized by Whitaker and Wilson (1974), but include LAELAPIDAE: Androlaelaps fahrenholzi (Berlese, 1911), Laelaps kochi Oudemans, 1936, Haemogamasus longitarsus (Banks, 1910), H. liponyssoides Ewing, 1925, H. ambulans (Thorell, 1872), Laelaps alaskensis Grant, 1947, and Eulaelaps stabularis (Koch, 1836); GLYCYPHAGIDAE: Glycyphagus hypudaei (Koch, 1841) and Orycteroxenus soricis (Oudemans, 1915) LISTROPHORIDAE: Listrophorus pitymys Fain and Hyland, 1972; MYOBIIDAE Radfordia ensifera (Poppe, 1896) and R. lemnina (Koch, 1841); CHEYLETIDAE Eucheyletia bishoppi Baker, 1949. In addition, Smiley and Whitaker (1979) reported the following pygmephorid mites from Microtus pinetorum from Indiana: Pygmephorus equitrichosus Mahunka, 1975, P. hastatus Mahunka, 1973, P. scalopi Mahunka, 1973 and P. whitakeri Mahunka, 1973.

The University of Southern Mississippi microRNA Identification and Target Prediction in the Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) by Alexis Aleman A Thesis Submitted to the Honors College of The University of Southern Mississippi in Partial Fulfillment of Honors Requirements July 2019 ii Approved by Alex Flynt, Ph.D., Thesis Adviser School of Biological, Environmental, and Earth Sciences Jake Schaefer, Ph.D., Interim Director School of Biological, Environmental, and Earth Sciences Ellen Weinauer, Ph.D., Dean Honors College iii Abstract RNA interference, referred to as RNAi, is a biological phenomenon whereby knock-down of gene expression can be achieved through the use of RNA molecules, including small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs). The use of miRNAs is an endogenous pathway that results in the degradation of the miRNA strand’s complementary messenger RNA (mRNA), preventing the translation of the mRNA and therefore the production of the proteins necessary for gene expression.
