MantisBot successfully mimics prey tracking.
There are many fish in the sea, but having a large school to choose from doesn’t make mate choice decisions any easier. In fact, selecting a mate requires members of the choosing sex to process, integrate and recall a great deal of information related to mate quality across many potential mates. As this choice is directly related to fitness, it stands to reason that the cognitive ability of the...
متن کاملNonergodicity mimics inhomogeneity in single particle tracking.
Most statistical theories of anomalous diffusion rely on ensemble-averaged quantities such as the mean squared displacement. Single molecule tracking measurements require, however, temporal averaging. We contrast the two approaches in the case of continuous-time random walks with a power-law distribution of waiting times psi(t) proportional to t{-1-alpha}, with 0<alpha<1, lacking the mean. We s...
متن کاملMolecular Tracking of Arthropod Predator-Prey Interactions
Local generalist predators can be exploited in conservation biological control of agricultural pests. To conserve and promote the most important predators, it is critical to have detailed knowledge about their prey range under natural conditions. I have studied predator-prey interactions between lycosid spiders from the genus Pardosa and a major aphid pest in spring-sown cereals; Rhopalosiphum ...
متن کاملNematophagous fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora mimics olfactory cues of sex and food to lure its nematode prey
To study the molecular basis for predator-prey coevolution, we investigated how Caenorhabditis elegans responds to the predatory fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora. C. elegans and other nematodes were attracted to volatile compounds produced by A. oligospora. Gas-chromatographic mass-spectral analyses of A. oligospora-derived volatile metabolites identified several odors mimicking food cues attract...
متن کاملThe Effectiveness of Aposematic Coloration on the Survival of Batesian Mimics using Artificial Prey
Batesian mimics may be able to reap benefits had by chemically defended caterpillars, like protection and increased survival rates, without expending energy to sequester defensive chemicals. This study aimed to determine if mimicry had any effect on survival, predation, damage location, and damage severity. The study was conducted along the Treetop Trail at Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham, AL...
