Functional characterisation of the hypertrehalosaemic hormone from the Indian stick insect Carausius morosus: metabolic and myotropic studies
… role in myostimulation. The Indian stick insect Carausius morosus contains two members of this family, hypertrehalosaemic hormone I and II (Carmo-HrTH-I and -II). Both these are decapeptides and they differ only at position 8, where the tryptophan of Carmo-HrTH-I is C‐mannosylated. It is known …

Biomechanics of the fibrillar adhesive system in insects
… viridula and smooth pads of stick insects (Carausius morosus) was compared. Adhesive and frictional stresses were found to be similar in smooth and hairy pads, inconsistent with contact splitting theory, which predicts higher adhesive stresses for fibrillar adhesives. Hairy pads showed a …

Local Positive Velocity Feedback for the movement control of elastic joints in closed kinematic chains : a modelling and simulation study of a 2DoF arm and a 3DoF insect leg
… Modellsystem, der indischen Stabheuschrecke Carausius morosus) unterscheidet man Stemm- und Schwingbewegungen. Während einer Schwingbewegung hat das schwingende Bein keinerlei Objektkontakt, da es vom Boden abgehoben duch die Luft nach vorne geführt wird. Das Bein kann als offene kinematische …

The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) system: a comparison between breeding and non-breeding naked mole rats (Heterocephalus glaber)
… with crude extracts prepared from stick insect (Carausius morosus) corpora cardiaca, which also served to compare vertebrate and invertebrate neuroendocrine systems. Synthetic mGnRH was used to demonstrate repeatability of the protocol and to set up suitable conditions for elution of mGnRH: mGnRH …

Ultrastructure and functional morphology of adhesive organs and anti-adhesive plant surfaces
… under inverstigation, the Indian stick insect Carausius morosus and the Australian tree frog Litoria caerulea, possess adhesive organs classified as “smooth pads”. The adhesive organ of the stick insects, the arolium, revealed to consist of a layered setup. Underneath the surface with its fine …
