For streams and rivers that experience high, off-colored water, catching the clear water when the ice recedes is prime time ...

The researchers discovered that the midge undergoes a punctuated form of development as it progresses from its larval stage to adulthood. In its first winter, larvae reach their second instar—the ...

In the mountains of the Anti-Atlas in Morocco, a fly larva has developed a camouflage strategy that is as surprising as it is effective. Thanks to a "mask" resembling a termite head on its posterior ...

The Antarctic midge larvae usually grow to their second instar by the first winter and undergo quiescence so that they can quickly resume development at any moment when it suddenly becomes warmer.

Before the second winter, the larvae reach their final stage but don't pupate. Instead, they enter obligatory diapause, a natural dormancy phase in their life cycle. The Antarctic midge is the ...

The article in Nature’s Scientific Reports tells how the frozen midge larvae ‘readily survived 32 days of simulated overwintering’. An international research team, led by scientists at Japan ...

Researchers have discovered blow fly larvae with fake termite faces on their rears that enable them to socially integrate into termite colonies in the mountains of Morocco.

The Bebb Herbarium is a member of the Texas-Oklahoma Regional Consortium of Herbaria (TORCH) which has consolidated their plant collections into a online database. Developing a comprehensive resource ...
