In the fruit fly they are located on the antennae and the maxillary palp, an appendage near the fly mouth. |
|
In successful matings, the time of the first palpal insertion and which palp was inserted were noted. |
|
The mandibular palp is very large, flattened, and has pappose setae along the rim. |
|
This suggests that insertion of the second palp was enough to trigger death, even in the absence of a genuine female orb-weaver. |
|
In the case of the orb-weaver, however, the male actively terminates himself within minutes of inserting his second palp. |
|
In the adult the mandible loses one of the branches, sometimes retaining the other as a palp, and the base can develop into a powerful jaw. |
|
Behind the mandibles, Mandibulata bear one, or more typically, two pairs of maxillae, frequently with a long palp, as in the second maxilla of Macrocyclops. |
|
To prevent others from copulating with a former love, males will break off a palp after copulation and permanently seal the female's genital orifice. |
|
As they explain in a paper in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, other males may fight over access to the female and try to dislodge any male that has an inserted palp. |
|
These are followed by a pair of structures called first maxillae, each consisting of a bladelike lacinia, a hoodlike galea, and a segmented palp bearing sense organ. |
|
Next is a pair of small first maxillae, each with a segmented palp. |
|
Microelectrode investigations suggest that just three receptor cells located in the third antennal segment and probably not more than one receptor cell in the maxillary palp are sensitive to cooling. |
|
With the palp of a forefinger he squeezed moisture from his wiry blond eyebrows. |
|
The male tibial retrolateral apophysis is used as a lock mechanism to anchor the male palp onto the epigynum and prevents its rotation. |
|
The researchers found that removing one palp reduced the spider's body weight by y per cent, and removing both reduced it to nine per cent. |
|
Nuculoma tennis, a detritus feeder, develops its palp proboscides, its feeding apparatus, during the prolonged phase of meiobenthic development. |
|
Structure of caudal rami, A2, mandibular palp, P 1 and P2 like that of female. |
|
In another trial, a shrew attacked the spider by first seizing the left palp in its jaws and twisting vigorously until the palp became detached. |
|
It is widely accepted that the male palp fits specifically into the female epigynum of conspecifics. |
|
He tested the blade against the palp of his thumb, then returned to the living room and decisively, scrape by scrape, cut away the hex sign, leaving a halo of ragged wood. |
|
|
Maxillary palp simple with 1 basal chaeta, without sublobal hair. |
|
Janzen had discovered that placing the palp on the dry, depleted land bought for forest restoration efficiently killed stubborn pasture grasses and nourished the soil. |
|
Palp three rows of trichobothria on tibia and 1 claw with 11 pectinate teeth. |
