Elater Ferrugineus
''Elater ferrugineus'', the rusty click beetle, is a species of click beetle belonging to the family Elateridae. Varietas Varietas include: * ''Elater ferrugineus var. morio'' Schilsky, 1888 * ''Elater ferrugineus var. occitanicus'' de Villers, 1789 Distribution This species is widespread in the Western Palearctic realm. Description '' Elater ferrugineus '' can reach a length of . This species is rather variable. Head is dark brown. Pronotum and elytra of males are usually bright orange or reddish, while females show a uniform dark brown color and are smaller than males. The legs are black. The antennae are mid-brown to black. In males they extend up to the posterior edge of the pronotum, while in females they are shorter. Biology Larvae develop in hole of ancient trees of various species, mainly oak (''Quercus robur''), ash (''Fraxinus excelsior''), beech (''Fagus sylvatica'') and elm (''Ulmus'' spp.). The life cycle lasts 4–6 years. Pupation occurs in spring. These larvae ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Elater Niponensis
An elater is a cell (or structure attached to a cell) that is hygroscopic, and therefore will change shape in response to changes in moisture in the environment. Elaters come in a variety of forms, but are always associated with plant spores. In many plants that do not have seeds, they function in dispersing the spores to a new location. Mosses do not have elaters, but peristomes which change shape with changes in humidity or moisture to allow for a gradual release of spores. Horsetail elaters In the horsetails, elaters are four ribbon-like appendages attached to the spores. These appendages develop from an outer spiral layer of the spore wall. At maturity, the four strips peel away from the inner wall, except at a single point on the spore where all four strips are attached. Under moist conditions, the elaters curl tightly around the spore. The wet spores tend to stick to each other and to nearby surfaces because of surface tension. When conditions are dry, the spores n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
