Timing of Environmental Enrichment Affects Memory in the House Cricket, Acheta domesticus
Learning appears to be ubiquitous among animals, as it plays a key role in many behaviors including foraging and reproduction. Although there is some genetic basis for differences in learning ability and memory retention, environment also plays an important role, as it does for any other trait. For example, adult animals maintained in enriched housing conditions learn faster and remember tasks ...
متن کاملPreparation and maintenance of living house cricket (Acheta domesticus) spermatocytes.
A simple and efficient method for the maintenance of Acheta domeslicus spermatocytes in vitro while permitting microscopic observation during meiotic maturation is described. The method allows the study of the factors effecting normal maturation and is applicable to other organisms. Three media are described: MM 100 contains only salts in the concentrations found in Acheta hemolymph; MMIOI cont...
متن کاملThe Effects of Acheta Diuretic Peptide on Isolated Malpighian Tubules from the House Cricket Acheta Domesticus
Acheta diuretic peptide (Acheta-DP) is a corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)-related peptide found in head extracts of the house cricket Acheta domesticus. The peptide causes a dose-dependent increase in fluid secretion by cricket Malpighian tubules isolated in vitro, and the apparent EC50 is 1.3 nmol l-1, which is within the physiological range for a peptide hormone. The CRF antagonist alpha-...
متن کاملFormation of apolar ecdysteroid conjugates by ovaries of the house cricket Acheta domesticus in vitro.
The newly laid eggs of the house cricket Acheta domesticus contain apolar ecdysteroid conjugates, which we have hypothesized to be ecdysone long-chain fatty acyl esters [Whiting & Dinan (1988) J. Insect Physiol., in the press]. The ovaries of mature adult female A. domesticus in vitro convert [3H]ecdysone into apolar conjugates identical with those found in newly laid eggs. Comparison of the ra...
متن کاملNanomechanical properties of wing membrane layers in the house cricket (Acheta domesticus Linnaeus).
Many insect wings change shape dynamically during the wingbeat cycle, and these deformations have the potential to confer energetic and aerodynamic benefits during flight. Due to the lack of musculature within the wing itself, the changing form of the wing is determined primarily by its passive response to inertial and aerodynamic forces. This response is in part controlled by the wing's mechan...
