Temperature and Host Fruit During Immature Development Shape Adult Life History Traits of Different <i>Ceratitis capitata</i> Populations by Georgia D. Papadogiorgou, Nikos T. Papadopoulos

“…This study examines how developmental temperature and host fruit type affect adult longevity and fecundity in medflies from six populations spanning Southern to Central Europe. Larvae were reared on apples and bitter oranges at three constant temperatures (15, 20, and 25 °C), with pupae maintained under the same thermal conditions until adult emergence. …”

How endocrine disruptors affect fish reproduction on multiple levels: A review by Socha Magdalena, Chyb Jarosław, Suder Aleksandra, Bojarski Bartosz

“…Early-life exposure to these substances not only affects embryonic development, resulting in increased mortality and body malformations, but this also induces genetic changes in newly hatched larvae. All these observations underscore the need for monitoring the aquatic environment for EDCs and implementing protective measures to preserve the health and welfare of fishes and safeguard water ecosystems.…”

Effects of different temperatures on sex differentiation and critical thermosensitive period of little yellow croaker (Larimichthys polyactis) by Jing-Ye Feng, Ze-Hui Wang, Fu-Liang Wei, Min Yu, Ting Ye, Chu-Nan Wu, Feng Liu, Dan-Dan Guo, Bao Lou, Qing-Ping Xie

“…The results showed that the male-biased sex ratio was 50.9, 57.8, and 97.9 % in the 18, 24, and 31℃ groups at 90 days post-fertilization (dpf), respectively. Additionally, eggs, larvae, or juvenile fish were transferred from untreated water to 18 and 31℃ every 6 – 9 days from 0 to 55 dpf to clarify the thermosensitive period. …”

Chevroned Water Hyacinth weevil Neochetina bruchi Hustache (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae) by Eutychus Kariuki, Carey Minteer

“…The other three species include a weevil, Neochetina eichhorniae; a moth, Niphograptaalbiguttalis; and a planthopper, Megamelus scutellaris, which were introduced into the United States in 1972, 1977, and 2010, respectively (Tipping et al. 2014). Although the larvae and pupae of Neochetina bruchi and Neochetina eichhorniae have similar appearance and behavior and can be difficult to differentiate by casual observation (Deloach and Cordo 1976), the adult stages of the two species of water hyacinth weevils can be distinguished relatively easily based on the color patterns on their elytra (hardened fore wings). …”
