Adaptive aerial righting during the escape dropping of wingless pea aphids
widely utilized to examine ROS levels. However, measurements based on redox-sensitive dyes such as DCFH can be problematic because they depend on dye uptake and lack any specificity towards a particular type of ROS. The advent of protein-based redox sensors like redox-sensitive GFP (roGFP) have improved specificity to particular ROS and can be targeted to different compartments within the cells...
متن کاملAerial righting reflexes in flightless animals.
Animals that fall upside down typically engage in an aerial righting response so as to reorient dorsoventrally. This behavior can be preparatory to gliding or other controlled aerial behaviors and is ultimately necessary for a successful landing. Aerial righting reflexes have been described historically in various mammals such as cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, and primates. The mechanisms wh...
متن کاملOntogeny of aerial righting and wing flapping in juvenile birds (short title: Aerial righting in juvenile birds)
Mechanisms of aerial righting in juvenile Chukar Partridge (Alectoris chukar) were studied from hatching through 14 days-post-hatching (dph). Asymmetric movements of the wings were used from 1–8 dph to effect progressively more successful righting behaviour via body roll. Following 8 dph, wing motions transitioned to bilaterally symmetric flapping that yielded aerial righting via nose-down pitc...

متن کاملSocial Insects: Are Ants Just Wingless Bees?
New phylogenomic analyses suggest that ants and Apoidea (hunting wasps and bees) are more closely related than we had previously believed.
