Transovarial transmission the transmission of microorganisms between generations of hosts via the eggs. Trichomes hair-like structures found on plant epidermis. Troglomorphic having the distinct physical characteristics of an organism adapted to subterranean life. Trophallaxis mutual or unilateral exchange of food between individuals. Univoltine having one brood or generation per year. Uric acid end product of nitrogen metabolism. Uricolytic capable of breaking down uric acid. Uricose glands male accessory glands that store and excrete uric acid. Urocyte a cell in the fat body specialized for the storage of uric acid. Vitellogenin yolk protein. Viviparity (adj. viviparous) producing an ootheca that is withdrawn into the body and incubated in a brood sac.
