Miniaturisation effects in larvae and adults of Mikado sp. (Coleoptera: Ptiliidae), one of the smallest free-living insects.
We present the first morphological study of larvae and adults of Mikado sp. - one of the smallest known beetles and free-living insects (body length of adult is 390-455microm). Morphological and… Expand

Peculiarities of the brain organization and fine structure in small insects related to miniaturization. 2. The smallest Hymenoptera (Mymaridae, Trichogrammatidae)
The organization and fine structure of the brain in the smallest parasitic wasps, Anaphes flavipes and Trichogramma evanescens, were studied using serial histological sections as well as TEM and… Expand

Anatomy of adult Megaphragma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae), one of the smallest insects, and new insight into insect miniaturization
The body size, especially in cases of extreme reduction, is an important characteristic that strongly determines the morphology, physiology, and biology of animals. Miniaturization is a widespread… Expand

Comparative morphological analysis of compound eye miniaturization in minute hymenoptera.
Due to their small size, diminutive parasitic wasps are outstanding subjects for investigating aspects of body miniaturization. Information on minute compound eyes is still scarce, and we therefore… Expand
