KEY DEVELOPMENTAL EVENTS IN THE ORIBATID MITE, ARCHEGOZETES LONGISETOSUS, AND THE EVOLUTION OF CHELICERATE BODY PLANS.
… the chelicerae, pedipalps and the four pairs of walking legs. The opisthosoma is more variable, and either contains no appendages (e.g., in harvestmen), or extremely derived appendages (e.g., the spinnerets of spiders and the pectines of scorpions). Recent evolutionary developmental (evo devo) …

Functional implications of the neuromuscular transform in decapod crustacean locomotion
… neurons. I used the neuromuscular system of crab walking legs to pursue a detailed description of the relationship between neural firing patterns and the resultant muscle contraction, emphasizing how muscles with different walking use differ in physiological characteristics. Crabs use of a small …

An analysis of phonotactic behaviour in the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus
… to analyze the effect of substrate texture on walking performance in crickets. Substrate texture is found to play an essential role in the phonotactic responses of G. bimaculatus. Smooth substrate texture has a detrimental effect due to slipping, whereas a rough texture results in optimal …

Sensitivity to chemical stimuli plays a fundamental role in the food preferences. Examples in the evolutionary scale: 1. Role of the walking leg chemoreceptors in the red swamp crayfish Procambarus Clarkii 2. PROP bitter taste sensitivity and its nutritional implications in Humans
… appendages. Antennules and pereopods (walking legs), in particular, have been reported to be olfactory organs involved in a number of behavioral responses, such as, sex recognition and localization of food sources in the environment. By way of extracellular nerve recordings coupled with …
