Body-enlarging effect of royal jelly in a non-holometabolous insect species, Gryllus bimaculatus
Honeybee royal jelly is reported to have body-enlarging effects in holometabolous insects such as the honeybee, fly and silkmoth, but its effect in non-holometabolous insect species has not yet been examined. The present study confirmed the body-enlarging effect in silkmoths fed an artificial diet instead of mulberry leaves used in the previous literature. Administration of honeybee royal jelly...
متن کاملIn vitro ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY OF TWO NOCTURNAL INSECT SPECIES, Periplaneta americana AND Gryllus bimaculatus
In dim light, reliable coding of visual information becomes compromised, unless the sensitivity of the visual system to light is improved by structural and functional adaptations. Thus far, many adaptations for night vision in the compound eyes of nocturnal insects have been described, but little is known about the mechanisms underlying the electrochemical signalling in their photoreceptors. In...
متن کاملNew microsatellite loci isolated from the field cricket Gryllus bimaculatus characterized in two cricket species, Gryllus bimaculatus and Gryllus campestris.
We have developed a new set of 27 polymorphic markers for each of two cricket species, Gryllus bimaculatus and Gryllus campestris. Initially, 14 published G. bimaculatus loci were tested in G. campestris; however, only five loci were polymorphic. Therefore, we isolated an additional 50 new microsatellite loci from G. bimaculatus and tested these in both species. In a minimum of 20 individuals, ...
متن کاملPhysiological characterisation of antennal mechanosensory descending interneurons in an insect (Gryllus bimaculatus, Gryllus campestris) brain.
We investigated five different descending brain interneurons with dendritic arborizations in the deutocerebrum in the crickets Gryllus bimaculatus and G. campestris. These interneurones convey specific antennal mechanosensory information to the ventral nerve cord and all responded to forced antennal movements. These interneurones coded for velocity and showed preferences for distinct sectors of...
متن کاملA Robot Attracted to the Cricket Species Gryllus bimaculatus
Unlike most Arti cial Life studies, we use biological data to verify a hypothesis about control mechanisms. We recorded male cricket Gryllus bimaculatus calling song, built a robot with the hypothesised control mechanism for phonotaxis behaviour and veri ed that it could account for the behaviour by observing the robot doing phonotaxis to the real cricket song. Further, we present a set of robo...
