- eclosion
The emergence of an adult insect from a pupa case.
- eclosion rhythm
The timing of the emergence of the adult fly from its pupal case, which usually occurs at dawn.
- extraorganismal space
The environmental space outside of an organism; this may be a host organism in the case of parasitic and symbiotic organisms.
- regulation of eclosion
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the emergence of an insect from a pupa-case or of a larva from an egg.
- pupariation
The onset of prepupal development when the larval stops crawling, everts its spiracles and the larval cuticle becomes the puparium or pupal case that surrounds the organism for the duration of metamorphosis.
- carotene epsilon hydroxylase activity
Catalysis of the reaction: alpha-carotene + O2 + reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] = alpha-cryptoxanthin + H(+) + H2O + oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase]. Zeinoxanthin may also be used as the substrate, in which case lutein is produced.
- amphisome-lysosome fusion
The process in which amphisomes fuse with a vacuole (yeast) or lysosome (e.g. mammals and insects). In the case of yeast, inner membrane-bounded structures (autophagic bodies) appear in the vacuole. Fusion provides an acidic environment and digestive function to the interior of the amphisome.
- localization
Any process in which a cell, a substance, or a cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, is transported, tethered to or otherwise maintained in a specific location. In the case of substances, localization may also be achieved via selective degradation.
