A chromosomal analysis of Nepa cinerea Linnaeus, 1758 and Ranatra linearis (Linnaeus, 1758) (Heteroptera, Nepidae)
An account is given of the karyotypes and male meiosis of the Water Scorpion Nepa cinerea Linnaeus, 1758 and the Water Stick Insect Ranatra linearis (Linnaeus, 1758) (Heteroptera, Nepomorpha, Nepidae). A number of different approaches and techniques were tried: the employment of both male and female gonads and mid-guts as the sources of chromosomes, squash and air-drying methods for chromosome ...
متن کاملJumping in a winged stick insect.
The Thailand winged stick insect (Sipyloidea sp.) flees rapidly from a disturbance by jumping forwards when stimulated on the abdomen and backwards when stimulated on the head. The mechanisms underlying these fast movements were analysed by measuring movements of the body and legs from images captured at 250 Hz. A forward jump of both adults and nymphs involves movements of the abdomen and the ...
متن کاملGenomic consequences of multiple speciation processes in a stick insect
Diverse geographical modes and mechanisms of speciation are known, and individual speciation genes have now been identified. Despite this progress, genome-wide outcomes of different evolutionary processes during speciation are less understood. Here, we integrate ecological and spatial information, mating trials, transplantation data and analysis of 86 130 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) ...

متن کاملThe comparative investigation of the stick insect and cockroach models in the study of insect locomotion
Evolution has perfected very different six-legged walking machines from common neural and biomechanical components in an ancestral insect, as exemplified by the American cockroach and the stick insect. Comparative experimental investigations of both intact animals and reduced neural preparations, integrated with mathematical modeling, have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of ins...
