Morphology of the male reproductive apparatus and sperm ultrastructure of Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero & Dellape 2006 (Heteroptera: Thaumastocoridae)
In this study, we examine the male reproductive apparatus and sperm morphology of Thaumastocoris peregrinus (Thaumastocoridae), a pest of Eucalyptus plantations, to explore its phylogenetic implications using light and transmission electron microscopy. The reproductive apparatus comprises paired testes with three follicles each, dilated efferent ducts acting as seminal vesicles, paired accessory glands, and ejaculatory duct that connects with an aedeagus. Sperm are filiform, around 465 µm long, with short, fusiform nuclei (< 6 µm) and an acrosome observable only under TEM. Key synapomorphies of Heteroptera, including symmetrical mitochondrial derivatives with paracrystalline inclusions and axoneme-derivative bridges, are present. The testicular follicles had mostly late spermatids and no evident differentiation zone, which was different from previously described. These distinctive features may support the recent phylogenetic placement of Thaumastocoridae as a sister group to Pentatomomorpha.
期刊介绍:
Micron is an interdisciplinary forum for all work that involves new applications of microscopy or where advanced microscopy plays a central role. The journal will publish on the design, methods, application, practice or theory of microscopy and microanalysis, including reports on optical, electron-beam, X-ray microtomography, and scanning-probe systems. It also aims at the regular publication of review papers, short communications, as well as thematic issues on contemporary developments in microscopy and microanalysis. The journal embraces original research in which microscopy has contributed significantly to knowledge in biology, life science, nanoscience and nanotechnology, materials science and engineering.
