The function of the anal papillae of saline-water mosquito larvae
The role of the anal papillae of saline-water mosquito larvae is uncertain. Sodium ion and Cl¯ uptake by the papillae of larvae in dilute media has been demonstrated (Phillips and Meredith, 1969a). Indirect ultrastructural and physiological evidence suggests that these organs might also be active in...
