昆虫的变态涉及形态和功能的复杂变化。在这项研究中，我们研究了发展的孤独的蜜蜂，切叶蜂rotundata，使用微型计算机断层扫描（CT）和体积分析。我们描述了蛹前、蛹和成虫的脑、气管、飞行肌、肠道和脂肪体的体积变化。圆形的我们观察到，个别器官系统有不同的模式的发展进程，这在他们的时间和持续时间不同。这对农业相关传粉者的商业管理具有重要意义。(C)2018作者（S）爱思唯尔有限公司出版
Insect metamorphosis involves a complex change in form and function. In this study, we examined the development of the solitary bee, Megachile rotundata, using micro-computed tomography (CT) and volume analysis. We describe volumetric changes of brain, tracheae, flight muscles, gut, and fat bodies in prepupal, pupal, and adult M. rotundata. We observed that individual organ systems have distinct patterns of developmental progression, which vary in their timing and duration. This has important implications for commercial management of this agriculturally relevant pollinator. (C) 2018 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.
