Craniofacial abnormalities were rare in reference hatchlings but were quite common among abnormal larvae from the contaminated site.
SOMETHING quite abnormal has happened to the Five Star Movement, arguably Europe's most abnormal political and electoral phenomenon.
Abnormal larvae classified as having 'deformed head formation' were observed at a higher percentage in the low-UV dose groups.
Abnormal larvae in the 5,000 erg/mm2 group showed a wide range of appearances of body shapes (body axes).
In contrast, abnormal larvae from the 2,500 to 7,500 erg/mm2 group did not have a clear modal number but showed a range of 29 to 58 chromosomes.
The occurrence of abnormal larvae in the course of larval development in the extract from Marseille could be linked to the occurrence of contaminants in the sediments.
Toxicity is expressed as the percentage of abnormal larvae (net percentage, toxicity minus control) after 24-h development in various concentrations of beach sand extracts (elutriates).
Ten abnormal larvae cuticles and thirty abnormal larvae midguts were choosen for the chitin content detection for three independent experiments.
In addition, we have found that amount of tracheole in the abnormal larvae treated with dsSeCHSA was less than that in normal larvae to a certain degree.
Closer examination of the cuticle in the abnormal S. exigua larvae using H & E staining revealed that the exo- and endocuticle of the abnormal larvae were disordered (Figure 9A).
