New 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, ...
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 کاملHow age influences phonotaxis in virgin female Jamaican field crickets (Gryllus assimilis)
Female mating preference can be a dominant force shaping the evolution of sexual signals. However, females rarely have consistent mating preferences throughout their lives. Preference flexibility results from complex interactions of predation risk, social and sexual experience, and age. Because residual reproductive value should theoretically decline with age, older females should not be as cho...
متن کاملHow male sound pressure level influences phonotaxis in virgin female Jamaican field crickets (Gryllus assimilis)
Understanding female mate preference is important for determining the strength and direction of sexual trait evolution. The sound pressure level (SPL) acoustic signalers use is often an important predictor of mating success because higher sound pressure levels are detectable at greater distances. If females are more attracted to signals produced at higher sound pressure levels, then the potenti...
متن کاملArtificial neural networks: applications in pain physiology
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are intelligent systems that have successfully been used for prediction in different medical fields. In this study, the capability of ANN in predicting body behavior in pain-producing situations is evaluated. A three-layer back-propagation ANN is designed using MATLAB software. The inputs include the magnitude of stimulation in pain fibers, touch fibers and cen...
