Co-ordination of Successive Activities in an Aphid. Depression of Settling after Flight.
The background to this work on the parthenogenetic winged form of Aphis fabae Scop, is given in two earlier papers (Kennedy & Booth, 1963a, b: referred to hereafter by date only), where it was shown that aphids allowed to fly and alight freely in a laboratory flight chamber become increasingly ready to settle down, feed and larviposit on a leaf the longer they have flown. Flight and settling ar...
متن کاملCo-ordination of two kinds of flight activity in an aphid.
1. The interaction between 'migratory flight', defined as flight oriented vertically and horizontally towards a large overhead light source, and 'targeted flight' oriented towards a yellow leaf-like object seen to one side against a dark background, has been analysed in Aphis fabae in a laboratory flight chamber. Landings were prevented by regulating a down-current of air so as to balance the f...
متن کاملThe Organization of Flight Muscle in an Aphid, Megoura Viciae (homoptera)
The organization of the indirect flight muscle of an aphid (Hemiptera-Homoptera) is described. The fibers of this muscle contain an extensive though irregularly disposed complement of T system tubules, derived as open invaginations from the cell surface and from the plasma membrane sheaths accompanying the tracheoles within the fiber. The sarcoplasmic reticulum is reduced to small vesicles appl...
متن کاملTen-year survey of altitude chamber reactions using the FAA training chamber flight profiles.
The Federal Aviation Administration since 1962 has trained nonmilitary government-employed flightcrews and civilian pilots in aspects of altitude and its effects on the human body. The standard military altitude chamber flight profile was not used and the reasons are explained. Two different chamber profiles were used for a 10-year period and both included a rapid decompression, but the altitud...
متن کاملGenome of Russian wheat aphid an economically important cereal aphid
Although the hemipterans (Aphididae) are comprised of roughly 50,000 extant insect species, only four have sequenced genomes that are publically available, namely Acyrthosiphon pisum (pea aphid), Rhodnius prolixus (Kissing bug), Myzus persicae (Green peach aphid) and Diuraphis noxia (Russian wheat aphid). As a significant proportion of agricultural pests are phloem feeding aphids, it is crucial...
