Fat body morphology of Eriopis connexa (coleoptera, coccinelidae) in function of two alimentary sources
This work investigated the influence of two alimentary sources: aphids and mites, in the morphology of the fat body of E. connexa. Results showed that fat body cells of individuals fed with aphids presented areas more than three folds higher (511 ± 98,7µm²) than those of beetles fed with...
