Cockroaches on a Treadmill: Aerobic Running
Abatraet-Five species of cockroach were tested on a miniature tr~dmill at three velocities as Or consumption (PO>) was measured: Gromphadorhina ~hop~rd~, Blaberus d~cojd~~is, ~ubluber~ posricus, Byrsotria fimugata and Peripluneta americana. All cockroaches showed a classical aerobic response to running: ljol increased rapidly from a resting rate to a steady-state (PO;,,): lliZ on-response varie...

We propose and study game-theoretic versions of independence in graphs. The games are played by two players the aggressor and the defender taking alternate moves on a graph G with tokens located on vertices from an independent set of G. A move of the aggressor is to select a vertex v of G. A move of the defender is to move tokens located on vertices in NG(v) each along one incident edge. The go...

متن کاملPath selection in cockroaches.
In gregarious insects, the exploration and the use of the home range can involve both individual navigational abilities and/or chemical trails. Trail formation can result from an active laying of pheromones but can also derive from the incidental deposition of chemical cues. In this study, we investigated whether scent trails can influence path selection in the cockroach Blattella germanica (L....
