Associative learning in insects : evolutionary models, mushroom bodies, and a neuroscientific conundrum

, 2011
Environmental predictability has for many years been posited to be a key variable in whether learning is expected to evolve in particular species, a claim revisited in two recent papers.

Proprioception in Insects [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1938
ABSTRACTConcentrations of hair sensilla have been noted by a number of authors in the joints of the insect body and limbs. Special groups of such sensilla in the form of “hair plates” are described from three positions on the legs of Periplaneta americana. The hairs of the hair plates are mechanical sense organs with a slow rate of adaptation.
