The Humidity Behaviour of the Mealworm Beetle, Tenebrio Molitor L. Iii. the Mechanism of the Reaction
IT has previously been shown that, under suitable experimental conditions, Tenebrio molttor reacts clearly to humidity (Pielou & Gunn, 1940) and that the humidity receptors are probably the pit-peg organs and peg organs on the antennae (Pielou, 1940). The present work is an attempt to analyse the mechanism of this reaction both qualitatively and quantitatively, in terms of elementary animal beh...
متن کاملNutritional Value of Mealworm, Tenebrio molitor as Food Source
Nutrition value of mealworm, Tenebrio molitor was analyzed due to increasing demand of usage as a protein source for domestic animals and even further for human consumption. The purpose of the present work was to determine the chemical compostion of the Tenebrio molitor larvae, adult that were maintained under standard condition for further usage of mass-rearing system and its exuvium, and excr...
متن کاملDifferences in critical thermal maxima and mortality across life stages of the mealworm beetle Tenebrio molitor.
Thermal limits to activity profoundly affect the abundance and distribution of ectothermic animals. Upper thermal limits to activity are typically reported as the critical thermal maximum (CT(max)), the temperature at which activity becomes uncontrolled. Thermolimit respirometry is a new technique that allows CT(max) to be quantified in small animals, such as insects, as the point of spiracular...
متن کاملPrevious encapsulation response enhances within individual protection against fungal parasite in the mealworm beetle Tenebrio molitor.
Immune defenses of insects show either broad reactions or specificity and durability of induced protection against attacking parasites and pathogens. In this study, we tested whether encapsulation response against nylon monofilament increases between two attempts of activation of immune system in mealworm beetles Tenebrio molitor, and whether previous exposure to nylon monofilament may also inc...
متن کاملCopulation enhances resistance against an entomopathogenic fungus in the mealworm beetle Tenebrio molitor.
Ecological immunology is based upon the notion that activation and use of the immune system is costly and should thus be traded off against other energy-demanding aspects of life history. Most of the studies on insects that have examined the possibility that mating results in trade-offs with immunity have shown that mating has immunosuppressive effects. The connection between mating and immunit...
