(10) The free amino-acid composition of the sera of 4 species of Isopods Cymothoidae (Meinertia oestroides, Meinertia parallela, Emetha audouini, Anilocra physodes) are very similar, and present the same characteristics, both quantitatively and qualitatively, as those of free marine Isopods of the family Sphaeromatidae and Idoteidae.
(11) The compound eyes of the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber comprises about 20 ommatidia.
(12) The rate of parasite development in laboratory-infected isopods was linearly related to temperature between 9 and 22 C; the temperature threshold was 5.7 C, and the larval parasite required 598 degree-days above threshold to complete development.
(13) The toxicities of the bait decomposed in situ for different lengths of time (12, 9, 6, 3, and 0 months) to the land isopod Armadillidium vulgare and the soil millipede oxidus gracilis were higher than the undecomposed baits.
(14) Exposure to artificially contaminated litter with Cd alone or litter from contaminated field sites with Cd, Pb, Zn, and Cu resulted in comparable Cd concentrations in the isopods.
(15) The utilization of marine amphipods Podocerus fulanus and Corophium acherusicum, and the marine isopod Paracerceis sculpta in heavy metal toxicity tests (Cd and Cu) demonstrated on the one hand, the value of these animals as tests subjects when exposed to various polluting agents and, on the other hand their tolerance to heavy metals in acute toxicity tests.
(16) 2 fuel oil was of relatively low toxicity to the intertidal isopod Lygia exotica as indicated by the TLm values of over 100% for the WSF and 73 ppm at 24 and 48 hours and 36.5 ppm at 96 hours for the OWD.
(17) In the neurogenic heart of the isopod crustacean Porcellio dilatatus, repetitive electrical stimulation of the cardiac nerves elicted either cardio-acceleratory or cardio-inhibitory effects depending on the stimulation parameters.
(18) Circumstantial evidence indicates that the hematophagous isopod, Gnathia maxillaris and not leeches, could be a vector of H. bigernina.
(19) Among laboratory-infected isopods, 2 mechanisms that could regulate the larval parasite population were detected: intraspecific competition and direct, parasite-induced isopod mortality.
(20) Growth of the isopods was not affected by Cd or by the combination of Cd, Pb, Zn, and Cu, but differed between the test systems.
Isopoda
Definition:
(n. pl.) An order of sessile-eyed Crustacea, usually having seven pairs of legs, which are all similar in structure.
Example Sentences:
