larval

phyllosoma Larval stage of crawfish; a broad thin schizopod larva.

myomere formula Preanal plus postanal myomeres equals total myomeres in larval fishes.

metamorphosis A major structural change of body shape, e.g., the change from a larval form to an a juvenile adult form, e.g. Anguilliformes, Molidae.

The results of biochemical analysis indicated that the difference of the activity of carboxylesterase and esterase isozymes in the larval midguts were the main mechanism of this selective toxicity.

Larval stages could be divided into four stages: nauplius, protozea, zoea and postlarva.

In scyphozoan jellyfish, the free-swimming medusa form is the dominant stage, with the sessile polyp form found only during larval development.

veliger Second stage in larval life of certain mollusks, developed from a trocophore, where the head bears a velum.

Although early instar larvae were present in the host larval hemocoel, only one parasitoid survived to come out of host larva for pupation, killing the larva in the process.

leptocephalus The elongate highly compressed transparent, ribbon-like and pelagic larval stage of some primitive teleost fishes such as the tarpon, bonefish and eels. leptocephali (plural).

In larval stage: dentition formula 2|2, had no spiracular plate, there were a pairs of anal setas and had no anus sulcus posterior.

They then recorded egg survival rates and larval development.

Egg first, and then a larval stage where they're feeding on the foliage.

Each egg will then develop into a planula: a swimming larval form.

The deeply strange ways insects transform their squishy little larval bodies into their final forms.

Many kinds of jellyfish have some ability to reverse aging and go back to a larval form.

Within the flies, for many of the species, we refer to this larval stage as the maggot.

Certain American species even manage to synchronize their larval stage so they all emerge at the same time.

However, it says “more good quality evidence is needed to support this view.”Tusting explained how larval source management works.

There are several ways of using larval source management, which could be especially effective in urban areas.

It is the only known species of jellyfish able to repeatedly change back into a larval stage after sexual reproduction.
