25
communication system used by scouts to indicate a possible new nest location for honeybee swarm
dance "language"
26
One desirable trait of a potental nest site for a honeybee swarm
***** a protected cavity that's dry, high up in a tree, with a small entrance at the bottom, facing south, and offering sufficient space for the colony to build a comb, ideally with a volume of around 40 liters
27
supra-esophageal ganglion (3 parts)
- protocerebrum - deutocerebrum - tritocerebrum
28
Protocerebrum
- optical lobes - corpora - pendunculata (mushroom bodies - memory) - Pars Intercerebralis (with neurosecretory areas) - Central Body (receiving and integrating information)
29
deutocerebrum
antennal lobes
30
tritocerebrum
"sympathetic", innervates the labrum, connects to visceral n.s.
31
Visceral Nervous System (3 parts)
- Stomodeal - ventral visceral - caudal visceral
32
Stomodeal
frontal ganglion; median recurrent nerve to hypocerebral ganglion (containing Corpora cardiaca with corporal allata suspended below), ventricular nerves innervating gut and dorsal vessel
33
ventral visceral
sub esophageal ganglion connecting to ventral nerve cord ganglia
34
causal visceral
innervating posterior of abdomen and genitalia
35
Insect sensilla
combo of a sensory neuron, accessory cells, and cuticular structures, all derived from epithelial cells of the integument
36
Basic components of sensillum
neuron trichogen cell tormogen cell
37
trichogen cell
secretes a cuticular process such as hair
38
tormogen cell
connects that process to the rest of the cuticle
39
mechanoreceptors
tactile sensilla hair plate stretch receptors campaniform sensilla sound receptors
40
tactile sensilla
trichoid
41
campaniform sensilla
dome-shaped
42
sound receptors
most are composed of modified sensilla called chordotonal organs (neurons are separated from the cuticle by scolopale cells; thus, they are also called "Scolopidia
43
subgenual organs
substrate vibration detectors
44
chemosensors
pore leading into fluid-filled channel/chamber
45
OBP
"lock and key" fit between molecule and receptor protein (odorant-binding proteins may act as transporters)
46
uniporous sensilla (one pore)
contact chemoreception or gustation ("taste"); usually located on mouthparts or tarsi
47
multipororous sensilla (many pores)
olfaction ("smell"); usually located on antennae
48
Thermoreception
bloodsucking insects, pine beetles
49
hygroreception
(water) soil organisms, honeybees, parasites of vertebrates
50
Magnetoreception
monarch butterflies, honeybees, and compass termites - all possess biomagnetite crystals somehwere in the body
51
optical unit
ommatidium
52
ommatidium components
cornea (lens) crystalline cone pigment cells (isolate) Retinule cells (visual receptors, each with a central wedge, rhabdomere, containing the pigment molecules - rhabdomeres make up rhabdom visual pigments are typical animal rhodopsins - some nocturnal insects : tapetum
53
Apposition eyes
dont change with light intensity
54
superposition eye
low-light intensity vision AKA "clear zone eyes
55
resolution?
discriminate shapes and patterns
56
motion detection
excellent!
57
color?
good
58
how many retinule cells do bees have?
9 4 - yellow/green 2- blue 3 - UV
59
dorsal ocelli
adult insects and exopterygote nymphs; very light sensitive, but not suited for high - resolution image detection; used to detect changes in light intensity and as "horizon detectors" in flight present on head often in 3 in a triangle pattern
60
stemmata
in lepidopteran larvae basically like a single ommatidum; several may be present on each side of the head. poor resolution but sensitive to light intensity
61
dermal detectors
light-sensitive areas in the cuticle of some blind insects and in the brain of some insects - used in calibrating diurnal rhythms in some insects
62
tinbergens 4 questions
1. how did the behavior develop? 2. what are the causes or controls of this behavior? (what extrenal or internal stimuli evoked it? how are the nervous systems and effectors involved?) 3. from what/how did this behavior evolve? 4. what is the behaviors function? (how is it an adaptation? how does it promote fitness?
63
how did the behavior develop?
all behavior develops via a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Nature vs nurture is invalid - it's both!
64
major forms of learning:
habitation, classical conditioning, and operant conditioning
65
controls or causes of behavior
1. neurobiology of behavior - studies the role of sensory inter- and motor neurons in behavior 2. Behavioral physiology - motivational changes in behavior, hormone effects, biological rhythms 3. behavior and external stimuli - classical ethological concepts of sign stimuli* (releasers" if made by conspecific) and fixed action pattern behaviors
66
neurochemicals & cricket chirping
results of injections into protocerebrum: Acetylcholine released calling song. Gamma-Butyric Acid (GABA) blocked calling song
