Motor state changes escape behavior of crickets

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: Animals change their behavior depending on external circumstances, internal factors, and their interactions. Locomotion state is a crucial internal factor that profoundly affects sensory perception and behavior.

Induction of Multiple Immune Signaling Pathways in Gryllodes sigillatus Crickets during Overt Viral Infections

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Despite decades of focus on crickets (family: Gryllidae) as a popular commodity and model organism, we still know very little about their immune responses to microbial pathogens.

Preliminary hypothesis on the history of Gryllinae (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) in America and new taxa of both the subtribe Anurogryllina and the genus Megalogryllus

open access: yesАмурский зоологический журнал, 2019
The fauna of the subfamily Gryllinae in America is not very diverse and may be divided into three generic groups: (1) the endemic (for America and adjacent islands) subtribe Anurogryllina, (2) American branch of the subtribe Brachytrupina, (3) one genus (

Australian Dog Owners’ Acceptance of Insect-Based Pet Food

open access: yesInsects
Insect-based dog food is increasingly becoming available in pet food markets, potentially offering environmental and nutritional benefits, depending on insect species and how they are reared, processed, and utilized.

Speciation, Divergence, and the Origin of Gryllus rubens: Behavior, Morphology, and Molecules

open access: yesInsects, 2011
The last 25 years or so has seen a huge resurgence of interest in speciation research. This has coincided with the development and widespread use of new tools in molecular genetics, especially DNA sequencing, to inform ecological and evolutionary ...

Descending and Ascending Signals That Maintain Rhythmic Walking Pattern in Crickets

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021
The cricket is one of the model animals used to investigate the neuronal mechanisms underlying adaptive locomotion. An intact cricket walks mostly with a tripod gait, similar to other insects.

Life history strategy dictates thermal preferences across the diel cycle and in response to starvation in variable field crickets, Gryllus lineaticeps

open access: yesCurrent Research in Insect Science, 2022
Insects behaviorally thermoregulate across the diel cycle, and their preferred microhabitats change based on current resources available and the thermal performance optima of traits.

Signaling Pathways for Long-Term Memory Formation in the Cricket

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2018
Unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying memory formation in insects and a comparison with those of mammals will contribute to a further understanding of the evolution of higher-brain functions.

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...
