Morphology and physiology of motor neurons innervating labral muscles of locusta migratoria
Major animal taxa, known as phyla, each represents a basic bauplan. Among the diversity of phyla, arthropods are the most dominant on the earth. The conspicuous feature of the arthropod bauplan is the grouping of body segments into specialized units by the phenomenon of tagmosis which in insect has …

Collision avoidance behaviour in a pair of flying locusts (Locusta migratoria L.)
Migratory locusts; Locusta migratoria L. flying in a swarm would encounter spatiotemporally complex visual cues such as translating, receding and looming stimuli, produced by self-motion as well as object motion in the environment. A rapidly approaching conspecific or a predator represents a …

Primary neuronal culture of Locusta migratoria for construction of networks on microelectronic recording devices
… the construction of simple neuronal networks of Locusta migratoria was developed. For the study of synaptogenesis and signal transmission over a long time period and at many recording sites simultaneously, it is desired to couple those networks with extracellular recording devices like …

Expression and function of erythropoietin and its receptor in invertebrate nervous systems
… und das Glia/Neuronen-Verhältnis in Gehirnen von Locusta migratoria bestimmt. Des Weiteren wurden das Überleben, die Morphologie und mögliche Funktionen von Glia in Primärkulturen aus Heuschreckengehirnen untersucht (Kapitel 1). Kapitel 1: Das Verhältnis von Gliazellen zu Neuronen beträgt sowohl …

Dorsal wing-flip timing in tethered flying locusts
… we seek to determine whether tethered locusts (Locusta migratoria) actively control the timing of wing rotation relative to the stroke reversal (i.e. flip their wings) in order to augment lift and the produce of steering torques during intentional steering maneuvers. Dual highspeed digital …

Biogene Aminrezeptoren der Schabe Periplaneta americana : Identifizierung, Charakterisierung und Lokalisierung von PeaTYR1 und PeaDOP2
… zu bereits bekannten Tyraminrezeptoren aus Locusta/Bombyx bzw. zu Dopaminrezeptoren aus Apis/Drosophila auf. Entsprechend wurden diese Rezeptoren Pea (P. americana) TYR1 und PeaDOP2 genannt. Deutliche Hinweise auf ihre Funktion lassen sich an den abgeleiteten Aminosäuresequenzen ablesen. …

Secondary structure determination of insect neuropeptides using high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance and various molecular mechanics calculations
… the corpora cardiaca of the migratory locust (Locusta migratoria) and belonged to the Lom peptide series - Lom-AKH-I, II and Ill. The secondary structure of these hormones was investigated using high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques and various molecular mechanics …

Cellular signalling pathways involved in thermoprotection of neural ciruit function in the locust.
… thermotolerance. I used the migratory locust (Locusta migratoria), an animal that inhabits environments that can have large fluctuations in ambient temperature daily, to examine how neuronal circuits cope with temperatures stress. Using the ventilatory central pattern generator (vCPG) as a …

Fuels for flight in the fruit beetle,Pachnoda Sinuata, and control of flight metabolism
… pyruvate and α- glycerophosphate, while those of Locusta migratoria prefer the oxidation of palmitoyl-carnitine,pyruvate and α-glycerophosphate. Palmitoyl-carnitine cannot be oxidised directly by P. sinuata flight muscle mitochondria, while proline is oxidised at low rates in locust mitochondria. …

A framework for an early warning system for the management of the spread of locust invasion based on artificial intelligence technologies.
… achieved an average precision rate of 91% for Locusta migratoria and 85% for Nomadacris septemfasciata using a custom dataset of 1700 images from the study area. Beyond AI-driven identification, the research integrated low-cost IoT devices capable of capturing real-time locust images and …

Neural processing of chemosensory information from the locust legs
… the reflex of the pro and mesothoracic legs in Locusta migratoria L under control of their chemoreceptors in responses to be stimulating media. The study was conducted utilising different stimulating media namely : salt (10mM and 100mM NaCl), sugar (50mM sucrose and 50mM glucose), acid (25mM …

Hormonal control of flight metabolism in Odonata?
… muscles of O. julia andA. imperator, similar to Locusta migratoria. Lipid is the major fuel utilised during flight in O. julia. Carbohydrates (in the haemolymph) and proline (in the haemolymph and flight muscles) are utilised as minor fuels. It is concluded that the processes of lipid metabolism …

Ventilatorische Rhythmogenese im isolierten Insektennervensystem
… Ebene bei verschiedenen Heuschreckenarten (Locusta migratoria, Schistocerca gregaria, Schistocerca americana, Taeniopoda eques) untersucht. Färbungen mit CoCl2 zeigten die Anatomie potentiell ventilatorischer Interneurone im Metathorakalganglion. Ein möglicherweise ventilatorisches …

Bionische Rekonstruktion definierter neuronaler Netze aus Insekten und Vertebraten unter Verwendung elektromagnetischer Felder
… the meso- and metathoracic ganglion of locusts (Locusta migratoria) were used because they were part of well studied networks and the somata are quite large and robust. Additionally neurons from the telencephalon of the chick (Gallus gallus domesticus) were used. Initially the isolation and …
