localization of interchromatin granule cluster and cajal body components in oocyte nuclear bodies of the hemipterans.	an oocyte nucleus contains different extrachromosomal nuclear domains collectively called nuclear bodies (nbs). in the present work we revealed, using immunogold labeling electron microscopy, some marker components of interchromatin granule clusters (igcs) and cajal bodies (cbs) in morphologically heterogeneous oocyte nbs studied in three hemipteran species: notostira elongata, capsodes gothicus (miridae) and velia caprai (veliidae). both igc and cb counterparts were revealed in oocyte nuclei of ...	2007	17889915
anti-predator adaptations in a neustonic insect (velia caprai).	the risk of a velia caprai (heteroptera: veliidae) individual to fall victim to brown trout (salmo trutta) was demonstrated experimentally to be markedly lower when several bugs were simultaneously exposed to the trout. v. caprai was found distasteful to brown trout, and a high proportion was ejected alive after being captured. we suggest that school formation in v. caprai lowers the risk of predation because frequent predator-prey encounters may assist in retention of the avoidance learned by t ...	1984	28309409
