Morphometric changes and the hormonal activity of the corpus allatum in the adult male of the desert locust
(University of Nairobi, 1966-06)
There is a progressive increase in the volume of the corpus allatum of the adult male desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria, its cytoplasmic content, and the size of its nuclei which is correlated with progress towards ...
Growth, longevity, and the frequency of feeding of Glossina pallidipes Austen
(University of Nairobi, 1968-11)
Glossina pallidipes Austen have been successfully reared in the adult stage in the laboratory. The flies fed readily on the belly of guinea-pigs, and the latter did not seem to be worried by the attentions of the ...
Growth and the hormonal control of sexual maturation in the male desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria (Forskål)
(University of Nairobi, 1966-12)
Influence of age and feeding on the success of mating in a tsetse fly species
(University of Nairobi, 1968-08)
THE act of mating affects insect reproduction in several ways1. First, it may be a necessary stimulus for the initiation of oocyte development, as is found in the bedbug, Cimex lectularious 2. Second, the act of mating may ...
Metabolic effects of the corpus allatum hormone in the desert locust, schistocerca gregaria
(University of Nairobi, 1965-09)
SOME thirty years ago, Wigglesworth1 first demonstrated that yolk deposition in insect oocytes is controlled by the corpus allatum hormone. Since then, the hormonal control of vitellogenesis has been complicated by some ...
The architecture of the accessory reproductive glands of the male desert locust: 2: Microtubular structures
(University of Nairobi, 1969)
Cytoplasmic microtubules are distributed widely in the mature accessory reproductive glands of the male desert locust. They are not concentrated in any particular region of the cytoplasm, but they appear to be closely ...
The metabolic effects of the corpus allatum hormone in the male desert locust
(University of Nairobi, 1966-08)
1. An account is given of the pattern and intensity of the spontaneous locomotor activity of adult males of the desert locust. It is shown that desert locusts exhibit almost continuous activity under continuous light ...
