Host defense in Nicrophorus quadripunctatus against brood parasitism by Ptomascopus morio (Coleoptera: Silphidae: Nicrophorinae)
No full textFew studies have been conducted on the host defenses of insects against brood parasitism. We investigated whether the silphid beetle Ptomascopus morio, a brood parasite of related silphid species Nicrophorus concolor, can also parasitize another silphid species Nicrophorus quadripunctatus and the manner in which N. quadripunctatus defends itself against parasitism. Successful brood parasitism under natural conditions was not observed at the time of year when P. morio and N. quadripunctatus are both reproductively active. Follow-up experiments revealed that P. morio attempts to oviposit near N. quadripunctatus nests, but is rarely successful if adult hosts are present. When P. morio larvae were experimentally introduced to N. quadripunctatus broods, some P. morio larvae survived when the host and parasite larvae were at the same stage. We concluded that N. quadripunctatus defends itself against brood parasitism in two ways: (1) potential brood parasites are repelled, thus limiting their access to the resource; and (2) the young of the parasitic species are killed
The superworm, zophobas morio (Coleoptera:Tenebrionidae): A ‘sleeping giant’ in nutrient sources
No full textThe aim of this review is to compile up-to-date information on the superworm, Zophobas morio (F.), regarding its biology and ecology, but also its further potential for use as a nutrient source for food and feed. We illustrate certain basic characteristics of the morphology and bio-ecology of this species, which is marginally considered as a ‘pest’ in durable amylaceous commodities. More recent data show that Z. morio can be a valuable nutrient and antimicrobial source that could be utilized further in insect-based feed and food production. The inclusion of this species in aquafeed has provided promising results in a wide range of feeding trials, both in terms of fish development and health. Additional data illustrate its potential for use in poultry, indicating that this species provides comparable results with those of other insect species that are used in feed. Moreover, Z. morio can be a viable waste management agent. This review aims to summarize the available data and underline data gaps for future research, toward the potential of the utilization of Z. morio for human food and animal feed. Based on the data presented, Z. morio appears to be a well-promising insect-based protein source, which potential still remains to be unfold. © The Author(s) 2021
Humor in Morio KITA’s works ― A search for the sources of his humor―
No full textMorio Kita was born as the second son of Mokichi Saito, a great Tanka poet, and his wife Teruko. He grew up in a wealthy family, received college education to become a medical doctor after some turns and twists, and then entered his career as a writer. He won Akutagawa Prize at an early stage of his writer career and continued to produce numerous works thereafter. His works are rich in humor, which attracted a great number of readers.
In this paper the author attempted to analyze his works and search for roots of his humor. Humorous features of his works were characterized and categorized in the last chapter. It seems clear that his sense of humor was nurtured by his lifelong self-education driven by his intellectual enthusiasm.departmental bulletin pape
Partial dietary fishmeal replacement with full-fat or defatted superworm (Zophobas morio) larvae meals modulates the innate immune system of gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata
No full textFull-fat and defatted superworm Zophobas morio larvae meals were used in a feeding trial of 540 gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata, juveniles (3.4 g initial weight) in order to assess their immunomodulatory effects. Six isonitrogenous (52 %) and isoenergetic (21 MJ/Kg) diets were formulated where the fishmeal of the control diet was replaced by full-fat Z. morio meal at 5 % and 10 % (FF5 and FF10) or defatted Z. morio meal at 10, 20 or 30 % (LF10, LF20 and LF30). Fish were kept in 18 glass tanks (125 L) within a closed recirculation seawater system and fed to satiation twice a day, 6 days per week for 100 days. LF20 significantly increased the percentage of neutrophils compared to a control fish-fed fishmeal (FM)-based diet. The dietary Z. morio meal immunomodulated the fish as expressed through an increased complement-associated bacterial killing (FF5 and FF10), nitric oxide production (LF30), and a tendency for an increased activity of lysozyme (FF5, LF20 and LF30) and of myeloperoxidase (FF5 and LF20), while trypsin inhibition was significantly suppressed by dietary FF5 and all 3 LF-containing diets compared to control FM-fed fish. These findings suggest that dietary Z. morio can immunomodulate gilthead seabream but further infectious challenge studies will have to be performed to determine if these effects are translated into an increased resistance to diseases. © 2022 The Author
