Zebrafish embryos and early larvae are becoming increasingly important as models in biomedical research because of their low cost, high throughput potential a replacement for adult, higher vertebrate model species.The functional domains drug targets, other functionally proteins, often highly conserved between the zebrafish mammals.Furthermore, embryo or larva shows complex behavioural repertoire only few days after fertilization.Here, we show how studies mammals being translated to...
The reproducibility crisis (or replication crisis) in biomedical research is a particularly existential and under-addressed issue the field of behavioral neuroscience, where, spite efforts to standardize testing assay protocols, several known unknown sources confounding environmental factors add variance. Human interference major contributor variability both within across laboratories, as well novelty-induced anxiety. Attempts reduce human measure more "natural" behaviors subjects has led...
Abstract In this paper the question is addressed whether or not responses to semiochemicals are relevant quality of entomophagous insects for inundative biological pest control. Four approaches answer distinguished: 1. behavioural manipulation with semiochemicals, 2. use natural intraspecific variation in 3. artificial selection and 4. application simulation models foraging behaviour. addition, possible impact mass‐rearing methods on discussed. Special attention paid Trichogramma egg...
Female mosquitoes use odor and heat as cues to navigate a suitable landing site on their blood host. The way these affect flight behavior modulate anemotactic responses, however, is poorly understood. We studied in-flight behavioral responses of females the nocturnal malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto human heat. Flight-path characteristics in wind tunnel (flow 20 cm/s) were quantified three dimensions. With only stimulus (control), short close straight upwind flights recorded....
Speed is a key trait of animal movement, and while much already known about vertebrate speed how it scales with body mass, studies on invertebrates are sparse, especially across diverse taxonomic groups. Here, we used automated image-based tracking to characterize the exploratory (voluntary) 173 comprising 57 species six groups (Arachnida, Chilopoda, Diplopoda, Entognatha, Insecta, Malacostraca) four feeding types (carnivore, detritivore, herbivore, omnivore). Across all individuals, (mm/s)...
Abstract When brussels sprouts leaves were exposed to air passed over a single calling Mamestra brassicae moth, sex pheromone was adsorbed onto the leaf surface such an extent that it subsequently elicited behavioural responses in conspecific male moths, as well female Trichogramma evanescens , egg parasitoids of M. brassicae. Male moths responded odour‐treated short distance (c. 5 cm) wind tunnel, but not attracted at 1 m. In contrast, and re‐released from glass wall tunnel compartment...
Piercing-sucking insects cause severe damage in crops. Breeding for host-plant resistance can significantly reduce the yield losses caused by these insects, but is a complex trait that difficult to phenotype quickly and reliably. Current phenotyping methods mainly focus on labor-intensive time-consuming end-point measurements of plant fitness. Characterizing insect behavior as proxy could be promising time-saving alternative measurements. We present platform allows screening against Western...
Implicit and explicit measures are typically combined in laboratory food studies. Results of these studies often show little additional value implicit compared to measures. We argue that experience should not be regarded as a more expensive complex equivalent established Instead, each type measure provides complementary information. Whereas capture especially the sensory aspects itself, total from pre- post- consumption, which only relates itself but also factors such physical social context...
Abstract The orientation behaviour of Trichogramma egg parasitoids (T.evanescens Westwood and T.pretiosum Riley) in response to the sex pheromone their noctuid hosts {Mamestra brassicae L. Heliothis tea (Boddie)) was investigated a wind tunnel. Wasps were released on platforms which served as models leaves, exposed overhead light an air stream that either clean or loaded with host pheromone. wasps exhibited: upwind anemotaxis, not affected by odour; odour‐modulated positive phototaxis;...

This study evaluated movement velocity, frequency, amplitude, as well number of arrests in three different subject groups, by kinematic analysis during a tapping (FT) task.
