X‐RAY DIFFRACTION ANALYSIS OF PARTICLES INGESTED BY FILTER‐FEEDING ANIMALS
View through CrossRef
The size and relative abundance of mineral particles ingested by two filter‐feeding aquatic insects, Simulium vittatum Zett. (Diptera: Simuliidae) and Aedes triseriatus (Say) (Diptera: Culicidae) were determined by X‐ray diffraction methods. Different minerals representing different particle size categories were supplied larval black flies and mosquitoes. Since minerals possess characteristic diffraction properties, their presence and relative abundance can be determined. Early instars of the black fly ingested and retained particles of three different size ranges; however, more coarse particles relative to fine particles were retained by smaller instars as compared with the larger instars. With mosquito larvae, there was a proportional increase in coarser material ingested with increasing age and size of larvae. Other applications of this method are discussed.ANALYSE PAR DIFFRACTION AUX RAYONS X DES PARTICULES INGEREES PAR LES ORGANISMES FILTREURSLa dimension et l'abondance relative des particules minérales ingérées par deux larves d'insectes aquatiques se nourrissant par filtration.

Divers minéraux sous forme de particules de différentes dimensions ont été fournis aux larves de Simuhes et de moustiques. Puisque les minéraux sont caractérisés par leurs propriétés de diffraction, on peut done vérifier leur présence et déterminer leur relative abondance. Les larves de Simulies des premiers stades retiennent et ingèrent des particules de trois rangs de taille, cependant les particules plus grossières sont mieux retenues dans l'appareil filtreur des jeunes larves, par comparaison avec les larves plus grandes.
