Temperature-induced pupil movements in insect superposition eyes.
In this paper, we describe the hitherto largely overlooked effect of temperature on the pupil of insect compound eyes. In the turnip moth Agrotis segetum and in two other nocturnal insects with superposition eyes, the lacewing Euroleon nostras and the codling moth Cydia pomonella, the pupil not only opens and closes with changes in the ambient light level, as expected, but also with changes in ...
متن کاملMechanisms of plant–insect interaction
The study of plant–insect interactions continues to be an exciting and fast-moving field that builds upon the more extensive literature available in plant–microbe interactions and offers new and significant insights into both the unique molecular determinants of plant–insect interactions and the wider ecological context. This special issue of the Journal of Experimental Botany brings together a...
متن کاملNeural mechanisms of insect navigation.
We know more about the ethology of insect navigation than the neural substrates. Few studies have shown direct effects of brain manipulation on navigational behaviour; or measure brain responses that clearly relate to the animal's current location or spatial target, independently of specific sensory cues. This is partly due to the methodological problems of obtaining neural data in a naturally ...
متن کاملCell signalling mechanisms for insect stress tolerance.
Insects successfully occupy most environmental niches and this success depends on surviving a broad range of environmental stressors including temperature, desiccation, xenobiotic, osmotic and infection stress. Epithelial tissues play key roles as barriers between the external and internal environments and therefore maintain homeostasis and organismal tolerance to multiple stressors. As such, t...
متن کاملInsect sex determination: a cascade of mechanisms.
Three conditions are essential for evolution: variation, heredity and time. Most animal species transmit genetic information through sexual reproduction in order to meet the first two conditions. The consequence for sexual reproduction is the need for (at least) two sexes with different reproductive roles. Consequently, evolutionary issues arise, such as differences in morphological and behavio...
