The post-embryonic development of a species of the enigmatic crustacean group Remipedia is described in detail for the first time under various aspects. Applying a molecular approach, we can clearly prove the species identity of the larvae as belonging to Pleomothra apletocheles. We document the cellular level of several larval stages and the differentiation of segments, limbs, and the general body morphology applying the techniques of confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. In addition, we document the swimming behavior and the peculiar movements of the naupliar appendages. A comparison of our results with published data on other Crustacea and their larval development tentatively supports ideas about phylogenetic affinities of the Remipedia to the Malacostraca.

An urgent problem in the agricultural science of livestock production is the adequate feeding of the queens of farm animals, in particular sheep kept on year-round pasture, especially in the second half of pregnancy and the first half of lactation. These periods are the most stressful, since the uterus does not receive enough necessary nutrients for the normal functioning of the body, embryonic and post-embryonic development of the offspring. In this regard, the purpose of our research was to increase the usefulness of the diet queens by carrying out additional feeding crushed barley with the inclusion of a mineral supplement developed taking into account the chemical composition of feed in Kazakhstan.

Article Synopsis
- The GATA transcription factor gene pannier (pnr) is vital for several developmental processes in Drosophila, but its function in coleopteran insects, like the beetle Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata, has not been thoroughly explored.
- Researchers identified two splicing variants of the pnr gene in H. vigintioctopunctata and performed analysis at various life stages, finding that RNA interference (RNAi) significantly impacted development, particularly affecting pupal morphometry and female oviposition.
- Unlike findings in some ladybird species, silencing pnr in this beetle did not alter melanin synthesis, but did result in scutellum formation defects and issues
