The Structure of Arthropod Chemoreceptors
- E. Slifer
- Biology
- 1970
The body surface of most terrestrial arthropods is highly impermeable to water; if it were not, the individuals, nearly all of which are small, would quickly succumb to dehydration. The receptor… Expand

- E. Slifer
- Biology
- 1 June 1950
Ten or twelve years ago, while studying the effects of dyes on the eggs of the grasshopper, Melanoplus differentialis , the present writer, in an idle moment, immersed a living adult of this species… Expand

- The Biological bulletin
- 1 April 1969
1. Although the male of Nasonia vitripennis is distinctly smaller than the female, the antennae are approximately the same size in both sexes.2. Hairs of two kinds, both believed to be tactile, are… Expand

Circumfila and other sense organs on the antenna of the sorghum midge (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae)
The antennal flagellum of the male sorghum midge is about a millimeter long and may bear over 500 sense organs. These consist of (1) tactile hairs, (2) thin‐walled pegs, (3) circumfila and (4) very… Expand

Morphology and development of the femoral chordotonal organs of melanoplus differentialis (orthoptera, acrididae)
- E. Slifer
- Biology
- 1 December 1935
Chordotonal organs are present in the prothoracic, mesothoracic and metathoracic femora of Melanoplus differentialis. These have been described and their development traced from ectodermal… Expand
The Fine Structure of the Membranes which Cover the Egg of the Grasshopper, Melanoplus Differentialis, with Special Reference to the Hydropyle
Electron-microscope studies have shown that the epicuticle of the hydropyle consists of 2 layers. The inner is complexly folded and the outer consists of a meshwork of fine fibrils which fills the… Expand
