| contribution to the faunistics of shore bugs (hemiptera: heteroptera: leptopodomorpha) in the palaearctic region and the himalayas. | new distributional data on 33 species of the infraorder leptopodomorpha (3 species of the family leptopodidae and 30 species and subspecies of saldidae) from the palaearctic region and himalayas are provided. the following new or confirmed records are listed: chartoscirta cocksii (curtis, 1835) from kosovo; halosalda halophila (jakovlev, 1876), saldula amplicollis (reuter, 1891) and saldula xanthochila (fieber, 1859) from iran; macrosaldula jakowleffi (reuter, 1891) from nepal and pakistan; macr ... | 2015 | 26624315 |
| jumping strategies and performance in shore bugs (hemiptera, heteroptera, saldidae). | the jumping movements of the hemipteran shore bug (saldula saltatoria, sub-order heteroptera, family saldidae) were analysed from sequences of images captured at 5000 frames s(-1). adult saldula weigh approximately 2.1 mg and are approximately 3.5 mm long. the hind legs that propel jumping are 180% longer than the front legs and 90% of body length, but non-jumping species in the same family have longer hind legs relative to the lengths of their bodies. jumps were powered by large trochanteral de ... | 2009 | 19088216 |
| unusual organization of the tropharium in the telotrophic ovarioles of an insect, saldula saltatoria. | the tropharium of the common shorebug saldula saltatoria consists of 2 zones: the apical mitotic region and the distal one comprising numerous mononucleate nurse cells. each individual nurse cell is connected to the centrally located trophic core by a thin cytoplasmic projection referred to as a trophic process. the accumulations of a dense material interpreted as the remnants of intercellular bridge rim are observed associated with the trophic process membrane. in the light of these results the ... | 1990 | 18620300 |
