Building exploration with leeches Hirudo verbana
Safe evacuation of people from building and outdoor environments, and search and rescue operations, always will remain actual in course of all socio-technological developments. Modern facilities offer a range of automated systems to guide residents towards emergency exists. The systems are assumed to be infallible. But what if they fail? How occupants not familiar with a building layout will be...
متن کاملScanning Behavior in the Medicinal Leech Hirudo verbana
While moving through their environment, medicinal leeches stop periodically and wave their head or body back and forth. This activity has been previously described as two separate behaviors: one called 'head movement' and another called 'body waving'. Here, we report that these behaviors exist on a continuum, and provide a detailed description of what we now call 'scanning'. Scanning-related be...
متن کاملSerotonin modulates muscle function in the medicinal leech Hirudo verbana.
The body wall muscles of sanguivorous leeches power mechanically diverse behaviours: suction feeding, crawling and swimming. These require longitudinal muscle to exert force over an extremely large length range, from 145 to 46 per cent of the mean segmental swimming length. Previous data, however, suggest that leech body wall muscle has limited capacity for force production when elongated. Sero...

ویژگی های زمین شیمیایی، کانی شناسی، و میکرومورفولوژیکی خاک ها و سنگ مادر مربوطه در منطقه بین بخش های جنوبی زاگرس و خلیج فارس تا دریای عمان(استان هرمزگان، ایران) مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. هدف های این مطالعه شناسایی تغییرات در خصوصیات فیزیکی، شیمیایی، و ترکیب کانی شناسی خاک، مطالعه میکرومورفولوژی و تکامل خاک، و بررسی توزیع عنصر خاک بر اساس هوازدگی، پروسه های خاک و زمین شناسی جهت توصیف اثرات مواد مادر...
15 صفحه اولBiological diversity of leeches (Clitellata: Hirudinida) based on characteristics of the karyotype.
The majority of studies on leeches are related to: internal and external morphology. Fewer molecular research projects focus on molecular studies and karyology. The latter are needed to explain the evolutionary and systematic issues. Karyotypes for 22 species of Hirudinida have hitherto been determined, including: 8 species belonging to the Glossiphoniidae family, 3 species of Piscicolidae, 7 o...
