Formation of long-term olfactory memory in the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus.
Insects live in constantly changing environments, where the availability of food sources varies with the seasons. Therefore, the ability to learn to associate a certain cue with an abundant food source must be of great significance for insects (Mizunami et al., 1999). However, most previous studies on olfactory learning in insects have been restricted to the honey bee Apis mellifera and the fru...
متن کاملTemporal determinants of long-term retention of olfactory memory in the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus.
Temporal determinants of olfactory long-term memory retention in the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus were studied. Elementary appetitive and aversive conditioning procedures, as well as a differential conditioning procedure, were applied. In appetitive conditioning, peppermint odour was paired with a water reward. In aversive conditioning, vanilla odour was paired with saline solution. In different...
متن کاملOlfactory learning in the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus.
The olfactory learning capability of the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus was studied. Crickets were deprived of drinking water for 4 days and were individually trained to associate peppermint with water and vanilla with NaCl solution. Their odour preference was tested before and after training by allowing them to choose between peppermint or vanilla sources. The time spent visiting each source serv...
متن کاملEmbryonic development of the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus.
Extensive research into Drosophila melanogaster embryogenesis has improved our understanding of insect developmental mechanisms. However, Drosophila development is thought to be highly divergent from that of the ancestral insect and arthropod in many respects. We therefore need alternative models for arthopod development that are likely to be more representative of basally-branching clades. The...
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, ...
