Sentence examples for between instars from inspiring English sources

We thus sought to determine whether head sizes were nonoverlapping between instars.

In-depth analysis of allometric trends between instars has only been attempted for Eurypterus remipes [ 23– 25], Hardieopterus myops [ 88], Adelophthalmus luceroensis [ 87], and Strobilopterus proteus [ 26].

In addition, in some hemimetabolous insects, tarsomere number varies between instars (e.g., Heteroptera), whereas in other groups, different legs may have different numbers of tarsomeres, such as the 5-5-4 patenebrionoidebeetlesd beetles.

Change in the morphology of the sixth appendage paddle has been described in Strobilopterus princetonii [ 75] and an allometric decrease in relative appendage length was noted in Drepanopterus pentlandicus [ 70] and Strobilopterus proteus [ 26], but the configuration of the appendage armature does not vary between instars in any of these taxa.

The differences between instars in our study may also be due to the fact that, although we controlled for herbivore weight, the number of feeding caterpillars was much higher in the second instar herbivory treatment than in the 5th instar treatments.

The majority of expressed miRNAs oscillated with a clear-cut pattern corresponding to transitions between instar and molt stages, specifically, being higher at the late 1st, 2nd, and 3rd instars and the late 3rd molt, and lower at the early 1st, 2nd, and 3rd instars and the early 3rd molt (Additional file 8A).

One of the reasons for this may derive from the mode of larval sampling used to obtain RNA; they were not staged, which might have led to an overlap between larval instars sampled.

In fact, there was more similarity in feeding intensity between late instar L. dispar and late instar Laothoe populi than between early and late instar L. dispar which led to corresponding differences in volatile emission.

UPLC-MS quantitation of JH revealed no significant differences in JH titers between 4th instar wt and dl larvae undergoing head cap apolysis (F1,2 = 0.48, p = 0.562).

Expression levels of 570 ESTs were compared between fourth instar larvae from susceptible (FRA) and Xen-R resistant colonies (not-exposed to Xentari™).
