Invasive arthropods.
Many arthropod species have been transported around the globe and successfully invaded new regions. Invasive arthropods can have severe impacts on animal and human health, agriculture and forestry, and the biodiversity of natural habitats as well as those modified by humans. The economic and environmental effects of invasion can be both direct, through feeding and competition, and indirect, suc...
متن کاملCognitive Arthropods
Insects are nature’s engineering marvels. They can perform marvellous feats such as jumping many times their own body length, lifting many times their own body weight, moving around even with multiple missing limbs and doing all this with amazing efficiency. It is little wonder then that roboticists have been attempting to replicate nature’s design feat in robots. The primary thrust in the area...
متن کاملNociceptors—Noxious Stimulus Detectors
In order to deal effectively with danger, it is imperative to know about it. This is what nociceptors do--these primary sensory neurons are specialized to detect intense stimuli and represent, therefore, the first line of defense against any potentially threatening or damaging environmental inputs. By sensing noxious stimuli and contributing to the necessary reactions to avoid them--rapid withd...
متن کاملTREKing noxious thermosensation
The ability to sense environmental temperature as pleasant or unpleasant is associated with the activity of thermo-sensitive neurons in the peripheral nervous system. Differential sensation of pleasant environmental temperatures (warm and cool) versus unpleasant and noxious (cold and hot) temperatures requires the definition of thresholds and temperature ranges for activating thermonociceptors....
متن کاملGeotropic Orientation in Arthropods
The creeping of the beetle Tetraopes tetraopthalmus during negatively geotropic orientation shows the angles of orientation (theta) on a surface inclined at alpha degrees to the horizontal to be proportional to sin alpha. The direction of orientation easily suffers temporary reversal to positive as result of handling. Mechanical stability during upward progression should be just possible when K...
