New insights into the functional morphology of calceoli in Amphipoda (Crustacea) Zoomorphology (IF 1.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-16
Abstract Calceoli are putative sensory organs which are known in limnic, marine, and subterranean amphipods for almost 200 years. Despite an otherwise comprehensive understanding of the sensory organs of crustaceans, we still have not unambiguously understood their function. Since calceoli are mainly found on the antennae of male animals, previous studies suggested a chemosensory function mainly related

New records and morphological characterization of digenetic trematodes infecting frogs (Ranidae) from Kurdistan Province, Iran Zoomorphology (IF 1.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-28
Abstract Despite amphibians having the least number of families in comparison with other vertebrate classes, the digenean parasites within these host species are largely predominant. To date, no investigation has been conducted on the digenean fauna of frogs in western Iran. The helminths occurrence and morphological description of this study were analyzed for the first time. A total of 54 Levant water

Characterization of the antennal ultrastructure of Neoeuantha aucta (Wiedmann, 1830) (Diptera, Tachinidae) Zoomorphology (IF 1.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-21
Abstract Tachinidae is a large family of flies, but studies on its antennal morphology and ultrastructure are still scarce. Thus, the male and female antennae of Neoeuantha aucta (Wiedmann) were studied using scanning electron microscopy. The three antennal segments are densely covered with microtrichia, with postpedicel being the one that carries the greatest diversity of sensilla. In total, eight

Anatomical study of the forelimb of capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris Linnaeus, 1766) Zoomorphology (IF 1.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-19
Abstract The study aimed to provide a detailed anatomical description of the forelimb of the capybara using gross anatomy, radiography images, and three-dimensional reconstruction. Four adult animals were used for macroscopic dissections, one for the acquisition of radiographic images and reconstructions, and one specimen for bone descriptions. The results showed the anatomical details of the scapula

Anatomy, histology and ultrastructure of the digestive tract in Andean fish (Trichomycterus bogotensis) and ecological implications Zoomorphology (IF 1.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-17
Abstract Trichomycterus bogotensis is one of the three species of fish that inhabit the Colombian Andes. However, several aspects of its basic biology, including its digestive system, are unknown. The morphology and histology of the digestive system are of great importance for understanding a species’ feeding habits and food preferences. Thus, this study aimed to perform a morphological description
