Fertilized limpet eggs released into the sea drift through
the larval stage of growth, eventually finding home and adhering to the seabed to join a benthos community.
Parasitic worms, like heartworms, go through 5
larval stages of growth (L1, L2, etc).
Not exact matches
«Faster
growth during the
larval stage should lead to a survival advantage because they can develop sooner and get out
of the dangerous pelagic environment faster,» he says.
(It should be noted that the knockdown
of the TOR pathway in the fat body severely affects
larval growth [8]; therefore, Lsp2 - GAL4, which is expressed in the fat body at the wandering
stage — after the
growth period [13]-- was used to overexpress TSC1 / 2 in order to avoid secondary effects from a systemic
growth defect.)
Disruption
of upd2 down - regulated animals»
growth from
larval to adult
stages [9], whereas CCHa2 - R mutations reduced
growth until late - L3
stages, after which
growth was recovered, leading to adults
of normal size (Fig 7A).
Mutants
of both CCHa2 and CCHa2 - R display severe
growth retardation during
larval stages.
In insects, final body size is mostly a product
of growth in the
larval stages.
Taken together, these findings indicate that CCHa2 / CCHa2 - R signaling is a major regulator
of Dilps until the mid - to late third - instar
larval stages and that the
growth recovery observed in later -
stage mutants is due to the up - regulation
of dilp6 resulting from the impairment
of Dilp expression in the brain.
Aim Experimental simulation
of near ‐ future ocean acidification (OA) has been demonstrated to affect
growth and development
of echinoderm
larval stages through energy allocation towards ion and pH compensatory processes.
These responses include impacts on calcification rates [18,19], immune function [20], reproduction and carryover effects in
larval and juvenile
stages of invertebrates [21], enhanced productivity in phytobenthos [22 — 25] but reduced calcification and
growth in calcareous algae [26 — 28].
