Vertical T-maze Choice Assay for Arthropod Response to Odorants
Given the economic importance of insects and arachnids as pests of agricultural crops, urban environments or as vectors of plant and human diseases, various technologies are being developed as control tools. A subset of these tools focuses on modifying the behavior of arthropods by attraction or repulsion. Therefore, arthropods are often the focus of behavioral investigations. Various tools hav...
متن کاملVertical stratification in arthropod spatial distribution research
Spatial heterogeneity within individual host trees is often overlooked in surveys of phytophagous arthropod abundance and distribution. The armored scale Aulacaspis yasumatsui is controlled by the predator Rhyzobius lophanthae to a greater degree on leaves at 75-cm height than on leaves at ground level within its host tree Cycas micronesica. The direct influence of elevation on the predator ind...
متن کاملResponse to letter to the editor:” Is micronucleus assay suitable for cytogenetic biomonitoring the different ways to smoke? ”
Dear Editor, I was very pleased to find that the article” Micronucleus Assay of Buccal Mucosa Cells in Waterpipe (Hookah) Smokers: A Cytologic Study “(1) has attracted the attention of some readers and has created a few points for them. In my opinion, these points are good bases to overcome some concerns regarding micronucleus assay.
متن کاملElementary response of olfactory receptor neurons to odorants.
Signaling by heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) drives numerous cellular processes. The number of G protein molecules activated by a single membrane receptor is a determinant of signal amplification, although in most cases this parameter remains unknown. In retinal rod photoreceptors, a long-lived photoisomerized rhodopsin molecule activates many G protein molecules (transducins),...
متن کاملImmediate response strategy and shift to place strategy in submerged T-maze.
A considerable amount of research has demonstrated that animals can use different strategies when learning about, and navigating within, their environment. Since the influential research of Packard and McGaugh (1996), it has been widely accepted that, early in learning, rats use a flexible dorsal hippocampal-dependent place strategy. As learning progresses, they switch to a less effortful and m...
