Carboxypeptidase N

This review considers the basic metallocarboxypeptidases of human blood and their role in coagulologic disorders. In includes information on the history of the discovery and biological characteristics of potential enzymes-regulators of the fibrinolytic process: carboxypeptidase U and carboxypeptidase N. Certain attention is paid to the biochemical mechanisms and the main modern concepts of the antifibrinolytic effects of these enzymes

Established Species

Among Western Palaearctic birds, range expansion is more commonly observed in families with low proportions of long-distance migrants than among generally migratory families. Migrants are also disproportionately scarce in the Irish avifauna, compared with that of Britain, and scarcer among colonists of Britain than among long-established species. Colonization attempts in southeast England and in Scotland have more frequently resulted in establishment by the invader than have attempts in areas more remote from the European mainland; in several cases, these attempts have followed a history of range expansion and/or population increase in the source areas. Successful colonists lay more eggs each season, on average, than failed colonists; this difference is due, in part, to larger clutches and in part to more clutches per season. The failure of migrants to make successful invaders is attributed to their inability to compete for resources, especially habitat, in the face of competition from year-round residents. The findings otherwise agree well with predictions of the MacArthur-Wilson theory of island colonization.

Behavioural Diversity

EpipompilusKohl comprises 52 species of wasps that are parasitoids of spiders; 16 species occur in the Neotropical region and 36 species occur in the Australian region. The biological knowledge of this genus is limited and its interactions and host spiders are still incipient. Here, we report some behavioural and biological characteristics ofE.excelsus, a parasitoid of the tube-dwelling spiderAriadnamollis. We observed anE.excelsusfemale attacking an adult female ofA.mollisin São Paulo, Brazil. We photographed daily the larval development of the wasp, from the egg stage to adult emergence. The entire developmental cycle of the wasp took 24 days. This period was shorter than the developmental periods of wasps belonging to other genera of Pompilidae. Although all species within Pompilidae use spiders as host, they present great behavioural diversity, characterized by different ethological sequences. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the Neotropical species ofEpipompilusexhibit biological characteristics similar to the Australian species, acting as a koinobiont ectoparasitoid, but displays differences in larval morphology. Studies on other species could elucidate the extent of these differences and similarities, contributing to our understanding of the evolutionary history ofEpipompilus, and consequently of Pompilidae.
