Insects and Physiology
One can tell the author is a good teacher, and hence a clear writer, from this sentence on page 59: "Since we are unable at present to present a satisfactory mechanism for oxidative phosphorylation, it will be instructive to show another, perhaps similar, process by which the free energy change of an oxidation reaction is used to 'drive' a phosphorylation reaction." Many others facing this dile...
متن کاملInto thin air: Physiology and evolution of alpine insects.
Numerous physical parameters that influence insect physiology vary substantially with altitude, including temperature, air density, and oxygen partial pressure. Here, we review existing literature and present new empirical data to better characterize the high-altitude environment, and then consider how this environment affects the physiology and evolution of insects. Using weather balloon data ...
متن کاملPhysiology and ecology of dispersal polymorphism in insects.
Studies of dispersal polymorphism in insects have played a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of population dynamics, life history evolution, and the physiological basis of adaptation. Comparative data on wing-dimorphic insects provide the most definitive evidence to date that habitat persistence selects for reduced dispersal capability. The increased fecundity of flightless females do...
متن کاملTowards nano-physiology of insects with atomic force microscopy.
Little study of insects with modern nanotechnology tools has been done so far. Here we use one of such tool, atomic force microscopy (AFM) to study surface oscillations of the ladybird beetles (Hippodamia convergens) measured in different parts of the insect at picometer level. This allows us to record a much broader spectral range of possible surface vibrations (up to several kHz) than the pre...
