The public world of insect vibrational communication.
Food webs involving plants, herbivorous insects and their predators account for 75% of terrestrial biodiversity (Price 2002). Within the abundant arthropod community on plants, myriad ecological and social interactions depend on the perception and production of plant-borne mechanical vibrations (Hill 2008). Study of ecological relationships has shown, for example, that termites monitor the vibr...
متن کاملIntercellular Communication in an Insect Endocrine Gland
1. The parenchymal cells of the corpora allata (CA) of the cockroach Diploptera punctata are coupled through low-resistance intercellular pathways. 2. Extensive dye coupling of cells of CA from fourth instar and adult female cockroaches was revealed following iontophoretic injection of Lucifer Yellow. 3. Freeze-etch electron microscopy revealed numerous gap-junction-like particles in CA cell pl...
متن کاملAcoustic communication in insect disease vectors
Acoustic signalling has been extensively studied in insect species, which has led to a better understanding of sexual communication, sexual selection and modes of speciation. The significance of acoustic signals for a blood-sucking insect was first reported in the XIX century by Christopher Johnston, studying the hearing organs of mosquitoes, but has received relatively little attention in othe...
متن کاملThe Behavioral Ecology of Insect Vibrational Communication
W our reliance on vision and hearing and our weak vibration sense, humans have only recently developed ways to mine the information provided by the soundless vibration of the surfaces around us (box 1). Nevertheless, the information is there: geophones show ongoing tremors of the earth’s surface, stethoscopes bring the rhythm of our heart and lungs to a doctor’s ears, and laser vibrometers let ...
متن کاملThe neural basis for insect pheromonal communication.
Insects rely on chemosensory signals to drive a multitude of behavioral decisions. From conspecific and mate recognition to aggression, the proper detection and processing of these chemical signals - termed pheromones - is crucial for insects' fitness. While the identities and physiological impacts of diverse insect pheromones have been known for many years, how these important molecules are pe...
