    Notes: Summary Optic axons were cut in the goldfish optic nerve or tectum, filled with horseradish peroxidase and traced in tectal wholemounts. Many of them ran in conspicuous fascicles which curved across the tectum. Axons from central nasal retina, which ran in the most rostral fascicles, turned abruptly as they left these fascicles; ran caudally in a diffuse, parallel array for up to half the tectal length; and passed beneath more caudal fascicles to innervate the caudal half-tectum. Axons from peripheral nasal retina ran in the most caudal fascicles and terminated near their turning-points. Axons from temporal retina entered the tectum at its rostral margin and ran caudally from their points of entry to innervate the rostral halftectum. The resultant pattern was entirely consistent with the proposal that a slow caudal migration of optic terminals compensates during normal development for disparate modes of retinal and tectal growth.

    Notes: Summary To compare the distributions of normal and regenerated optic axons in the goldfish tectum, small groups of axons crossing the rostromedial tectum were cut and filled with horseradish peroxidase which subsequently revealed the retinal locations of their somata. In normal fish, the peroxidase-filled ganglion cells were virtually confined to a narrow arc spanning the ventronasal quadrant of the retina. In fish with regenerated visual projections (50–736 days after optic nerve transection, optic nerve crush or deflection of optic axons to the ipsilateral tectum) the filled cells were distributed across the full extent of the retina from centre to periphery and were less rigidly confined within appropriate quadrants. The absence of any detectable arc of filled cells in the ventronasal quadrant after regeneration showed that few, if any, of the regenerated axons followed their original paths across the tectum. Quantitative analysis of local cell distributions indicated that axons were re-routed independently rather than in groups. Nevertheless, axons consistently displayed a crude bias towards appropriate tectal regions, even in ipsilateral tecta where the relative positions of these regions are inverted. These results imply that regenerating optic axons are widely scattered by the effects of surgery. They may subsequently show preferences for appropriate central paths but with a resolution too low to define much more than the orientation of the retino-tectal map. Since there is both anatomical and electrophysiological evidence that regenerated optic terminal arborizations eventually adopt a precise retinotopic arrangement, this arrangement must chiefly reflect ordering mechanisms which act in the final stages of axon growth or synapsis.

    Notes: Abstract Ceralure or trimedlure polymeric TNO panels in C&C traps were compared for attractancy by the capture of male Mediterranean fruit flies, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann). This study contrasts the effectiveness of ceralure with trimedlure, the former of which is an iodo-analog of trimedlure. Field tests in Hawaii with released flies showed that the active ceralure B1 isomer in a commercial mixture of ceralure isomers consistently caught as many male flies as active trimedlure C isomer in a commercial mixture of trimedlure isomers at one-half the molar quantity of trimedlure C. These panels caught 6.4 and 5.2 times, for ceralure and trimedlure, respectively, more than the standard 2 g trimedlure AgriSense aged plug over a 26-week period. The persistence of ceralure is demonstrated by residual analyses of aged panels that revealed the presence of 2.75 times more ceralure than trimedlure in panels after 130 days of field exposure.

    Notes: Abstract The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata, is a major pest of fruits and vegetables in the world. With the help of an extensive trapping program, the continental United States has remained free of established medfly populations. In an effort to increase trapping efficiency, controlled-release polymeric panels with trimedlure and ceralure were developed in conjunction with the development of a new trap, the C&C trap. This study contrasts the effectiveness of different panel formulations with the standard trimedlure polymeric plug and describes the use of the panels in the C&C trap. Field tests in Hawaii using released sterile flies showed consistently higher male medfly catches with panels in C&C traps than with the standard trimedlure polymeric plug in Jackson traps.
