Permethrin induces histological and cytological changes in the midgut of the pr...
Martínez, Luis Carlos; Neves, Guilherme da Silva; Gonçalves, Wagner Gonzaga; Zanuncio, José Cola; Bozdoğan, Hakan; Serrão, José EduardoInsecticides used in the agriculture and forestry have side effects on non-target organisms used as natural enemies. This study evaluated the histopathology and cytotoxicity of permethrin on the midgut of the non-target predatory bug, Podisus nigrispinus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) used in the biological control of pest insects. The toxicity and survival of this insect were determined using six concentrations o...
Morphology, ultrastructure, and chemical compounds of the osmeterium of Heracli...
Martínez, Luis Carlos; Neves, Guilherme da Silva; Cossolin, Jamile Fernanda; Santos, Marcelo Henrique dos; Zanuncio, José Cola; Serrão, José EduardoThe osmeterium, found in papilionoid larvae, is an eversible organ with an exocrine gland that produces substances in response to the mechanical disturbances caused by natural enemies. The anatomy, histology and ultrastructure of the osmeterium, and the chemical composition of its secretion in Heraclides thoas (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) were studied. Heraclides thoas larvae have a Y-shaped osmeterium in the th...
