Jumping in a winged stick insect

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2002
SUMMARYThe Thailand winged stick insect (Sipyloidea sp.) flees rapidly from a disturbance by jumping forwards when stimulated on the abdomen and backwards when stimulated on the head. The mechanisms underlying these fast movements were analysed by measuring movements of the body and legs from images captured at 250 Hz.A forward jump of both adults and ...

SWERVING STICK INSECTS

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2005
![Figure][1] Watch a stumbling toddler and you'll see that we struggle to learn how to control just two legs. But spare a thought for the humble stick insect; it has to coordinate 18 leg joints as it ambles around.

Egg chorion architecture in stick insects (Phasmatodea)

International Journal of Insect Morphology and Embryology, 1993
Abstract Comparative analysis of egg chorion architecture by scanning and transmission electron microscopy is reported in about 50 species of stick insects (Phasmatodea). Particular attention has been paid to: (1) synthesis and structure of egg shell layers; (2) egg shape; (3) morphology of the external chorionic surface; (4) position and structure ...

The unique antimicrobial peptide repertoire of stick insects

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2020
The comparative analysis of innate immunity across different insect taxa has revealed unanticipated evolutionary plasticity, providing intriguing examples of immunity-related effector gene expansion and loss. Phasmatodea, the stick and leaf insects, is an order of hemimetabolous insects that can provide insight into ancestral innate immunity genes lost

Feeding Habits of Stick Insects

Nature, 1937
IN reference to the communication from Mr. Sidney T. E. Dark1, and the observations from the Notre Dame Training College, Glasgow2, relating to the eating of dead cellulose by Carausius, it may be of interest to record that these insects will occasionally eat paper.

Dynamics of the walking stick insect

Proceedings., IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002
In order to gain insight into the biological constructional conception of walking as a basis for future technical developments, the gait dynamics of the walking stick insect (Carausies morosus) is investigated. It is modeled by a rigid multibody system consisting of 19 bodies and forming multiple closed kinematic chains corresponding to the regarded ...
