TY - JOUR. T1 - Receptors for octopamine in the storage lobe of the locust (Locusta migratoria) corpus cardiacum. T2 - Evidence from studies on cyclic nucleotides. AU - Pannabecker, Tom. AU - Orchard, Ian. PY - 1988. Y1 - 1988. N2 - The storage lobe of the locust corpus cardiacum consists primarily of neurosecretory cell axons and terminals and serves as a neurohaemal organ for the release of several neuropeptides. Biogenic amines have previously been identified in the storage lobe of the adult corpus cardiacum, and interest in the functional roles of these amines has arisen due to their modulatory actions on numerous physiological processes in insects. It has been suggested that these compounds may be released from the storage lobe as neurohormones, however an alternative possibility is that they serve as neurotransmitters or neuromodulators which act at sites within the corpus cardiacum proper. The present studies were undertaken to determine if specific amine receptor-adenylate cyclases exist ...

The role of cyclic AMP in the octopaminergic modulation of the dorsal longitudinal flight muscles of the locust Schistocerca gregaria has been investigated. Several techniques have been used to elevate cyclic AMP levels in this tissue by mechanisms that bypass the receptor activation stage. These include the use of phosphodiesterase inhibitors to block the metabolism of cyclic nucleotides, the use of forskolin, the diterpene activator of adenylate cyclase, and the direct application of permeable and phosphodiesterase-resistant analogues of cyclic AMP. All these approaches can be shown to mimic the modulatory effects of octopamine on the flight muscle. Surprisingly, the phosphodiesterase inhibitors used were not able to potentiate the actions of octopamine on this preparation. Octopamine increases cyclic AMP levels in a similar fashion in all five motor units of this muscle, an effect that is selectively blocked by phentolamine, an α-adrenergic blocking agent that blocks octopamine receptors in ...

In this work, the distribution, chemical composition and water permeability of the cuticular lipids of the African migratory locust, Locusta migratoria migratoriodes and the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria have been investigated. Scanning electron microscopy of the wings and terga of the two species showed that the epicuticular lipid formed a liquid coating over the surface. The lipid layer on the fore wing of L.migratoria migratoriodes was thinner and more crystalline than that of S.gregaria. The tergum of L.migratoria migratoriodes had a smooth epicuticular lipid layer while that of S.gregaria had a lipid layer with amorphous lipid masses. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the wing and tergal cuticle of both species conformed to the basic structural plan of insect cuticle, namely an outer, thin epicuticle and an inner, thick procuticle divided into an outer exocuticle and an inner endocuticle, overlying a single layer of cells, the hypodermis. While no structural differences ...

December 31, 2009 - The Ant and the Grasshopper By Joseph Parish. I recently chanced across this little morsel of knowledge while browsing around the net and find it to be very entertaining. I would at this time like to share my adaptation of the Ant and the Grasshopper with my visitors. At first we will recite the original version of the Ant and the Grasshopper. Without further ado let us get to the fable. Click here ...

Image Credit: NASA, ESA, the Hubble Heritage (STScI/AURA)-ESA/Hubble Collaboration, and A. Evans (University of Virginia, Charlottesville/NRAO/Stony Brook University). The Grasshopper (designated UGC 4881 or Arp 55) is a bright pair of interacting galaxies, located about 527 million light-years away from Earth in the northern constellation of Lynx. The galaxies are speeding away from us at some 11,782 kilometers per second.. The colliding galaxies are thought to be halfway through a merger: the cores of the parent galaxies are still clearly separated, but their disks are overlapping. The Grasshopper has a bright curly tail containing a remarkable number of star clusters, and a vigorous burst of star formation may have just started.. A Type II or Ib/c supernova called SN 1999gw was discovered in The Grasshopper on December 16, 1999. This discovery was obtained by an infrared monitoring campaign, aimed at detecting obscured supernovae. Finding SN 1999gw in the infrared indicates that optical ...

Cytochrome P450 superfamily proteins play important roles in detoxification of xenobiotics and during physiological and developmental processes. To contribute to our understanding of this large gene family in insects, we have investigated the function of the cytochrome P450 gene LmCYP4G102 in the migratory locust Locusta migratoria. Suppression of LmCYP4G102 expression by RNA interference (RNAi) does not interfere with moulting but causes rapid loss of body weight - probably due to massive loss of water, and death soon after moulting. Accordingly, maintaining these animals at 90% relative humidity prevented lethality. Consistently, RNAi against LmCYP4G102 provoked a decrease in the content of cuticular alkanes, which as an important fraction of cuticular hydrocarbons have been shown to confer desiccation resistance. In addition, the cuticle of LmCYP4G102- knockdown locusts was fragile and easier deformable than in control animals. Presumably, this phenotype is due to decreased amounts of ...

Pacifastin is a family of serine proteinase inhibitors found in arthropods. Pacifastin inhibits the serine peptidases trypsin and chymotrypsin. All pacifastin members that have been characterized at the molecular level are precursor peptides composed of an N-terminal signal sequence followed by a precursor domain and a variable number of inhibitor domains. Each of these inhibitor domains carries a six-cysteine motif - see below. The first family members to be identified were isolated from Locusta migratoria migratoria(migratory locust) which were HI, LMCI-1 (PMP-D2) and LMCI-2 (PMP-C). A further five members, SGPI-1 to 5, were then isolated from Schistocerca gregaria (desert locust), and a heterodimeric serine protease inhibitor was isolated from the haemolymph of Pacifastacus leniusculus (Signal crayfish), and named pacifastin. Peptide proteinase inhibitors are in many cases synthesised as part of a larger precursor protein, referred to as a propeptide or zymogen, which remains inactive until ...

Aeoloplides turnbulli, the Russianthistle grasshopper, is found in Wyoming east of the Continental Divide. It is associated with Russianthistle, saltbush, or greasewood. The forewings in specimens found in Laramie County are long and represent the subspecies, A. t. bruneri. The eggs pass the winter in the soil and hatch in early June. Adults are present from late July to September. Damage has been reported to sugar beets, but the species is considered beneficial in feeding on Russianthistle, saltbush, and greasewood ...

Common name - Flabellate grasshopper (Ball et al. 1942).. Geographic distribution - found throughout the Great Plains, extending from British Columbia to Saskatchewan (Canada) and south to Arizona and Texas (Hebard, 1929; Helter, 1972). Two subspecies occur in Colorado; M. occidentalis occidentalis, which is found primarily on the eastern plains; and M. occidentalis brevipennis, which occurs in western Colorado (Alexander, 1941).. Colorado Distribution Map. Habitat - common in open grassland areas, often extending its range above timberline (Hebard, 1928; Hebard, 1929; Helfer, 1972).. Food habits - a polyphagous feeder, exhibiting a preference toward forbes. Its preferred food plants are scarlet globemallow, western wheatgrass and side. It also feeds on bahia, blue grama and threeawn (Kumar et al., 1976, Mulkern et al., 1969).. Eggs - eggs are yellow in color. Average egg length, 5.31 mm; average diameter, 1.24 mm (Tuck and Smith, 1939).. Nymph - five instars.. Adult - small to medium in size. ...

The chromosomal axes of the spermatocytes of the grasshopper Melanoplus differentialis have been studied with a modification of the microspreading procedure used previously. The whole complement of synaptonemal complexes (SCs) and the axis of the X chromosome have been described and measured. The relative length of each SC is characteristic and constant and permits the construction of an idiogram. Relative lengths of SCs are almost equal to the relative lengths of mitotic chromosomes of spermatogonia (with the exception of the X chromosome), thus extending to an invertebrate the relationship between SCs and mitotic chromosomes that has been demonstrated in mammals. All the SCs except the 3 smallest (which are apparently telocentric) show a small short arm beyond the kinetochore. The progression of changes in the chromosomal axes during meiotic prophase has been staged by centriolar behaviour. During leptotene, axes are first formed near the nuclear envelope at a special (polar) region. SCs also ...

Bible Bat Boy found a grasshopper climbing up the wall of Pastors Daves house. He came to me and said, Mom, quick, get me a bug container! (We have numerous bug containers at home. Bible Bat Boy is my bug fanatic.) I picked up the tongs that were beside the grill (with hot dog and hamburger guts still on it) and tried to help him catch this grasshopper. I certainly did not want to touch it with MY hands. That in itself was a feat. Grasshoppers DO NOT like to be caught. After enlisting some help from a few staff members, we finally caught the grasshopper. Now, where to put it? Sherri had a candle holder sitting on one of the tables so I grabbed that. The grasshopper was safe and happy in the container for all to enjoy ...

Both LCMI I and II are inhibitors of chymotrypsin and elastase (in vitro). They both inhibit the prophenol oxidase activation cascade.

True bugs have all the general characteristics of typical insects. They are divided into three regions: head, thorax and abdomen. The thorax bears legs and wings; the head bears eyes, antennae and mouthparts. However, a true bug (Order Hemiptera) is very different from a grasshopper (Order Orthoptera) which you already studied in Unit I. Notice that in the true bug, the mouthparts are formed into a beak extending from the bottom side of the head. It is adapted for taking liquid food. The grasshopper has chewing mouthparts adapted for eating solid food. In the bug illustrated in this exercise, the pronotum is large and flat and not saddle-shaped like on the grasshopper. (In other orders of insects behind the pronotum is a triangular-shaped piece, called the scutellum.) On true bugs the scutellum is easy to see, but in the grasshopper it is hidden under the pronotum. The front wing of a typical true bug is different from that of other insect orders. The area of the front wing next to the body is ...

In Argentina, where several outbreaks of D. maculipennis wreaked losses on ranches and farms between 2008 and 2011, a research team led by Sebastian Pelizza of CEPAVE (Central de Estudios Parasitologicos y de Vectores, or Center for Parasitological and Vector Studies, part of the National University of La Plate), looked at the possibility of using the soil fungus Beauveria bassiana to combat D. maculipennis swarms and outbreaks. His study was published on line in April in the open-access Journal of Insect Science.. B. bassiana is an endophyte: It takes up residence in a host plant and thrives without harming the plant. It also is known to be parasitic to insects. Its often used for biological control of insect pests of agricultural plants, but Pelizzas study is the first to look at B. bassianas ability to resist D. maculipennis in corn. D. maculipennis is one of 18 species of grasshopper pests found in Argentina but is considered one of the most significant pests, especially in the grassland ...

A common characteristic of sex chromosomes is the accumulation of repetitive DNA, which accounts for their diversification and degeneration. In grasshoppers, the X0 sex-determining system in males is considered ancestral. However, in some species, derived variants like neo-XY in males evolved several times independently by Robertsonian translocation. This is the case of Ronderosia bergii, in which further large pericentromeric inversion in the neo-Y also took place, making this species particularly interesting for investigating sex chromosome evolution. Here, we characterized the satellite DNAs (satDNAs) and transposable elements (TEs) of the species to investigate the quantitative differences in repeat composition between male and female genomes putatively associated with sex chromosomes. We found a total of 53 satDNA families and 56 families of TEs. The satDNAs were 13.5% more abundant in males than in females, while TEs were just 1.02% more abundant in females. These results imply differential

Madagascar has a long history of using Orthoptera as food and feed. Our understanding of the biological diversity of this resource, its contemporary use, and its future potentials in Madagascar is extremely limited. The present study contributes basic knowledge of the biological diversity and local uses of edible Orthoptera in Malagasy food cultures. Data was collected with key informants in 47 localities covering most of the ecoregions of Madagascar and corresponding to 12 of the 19 ethnic groups. Orthoptera are consumed throughout Madagascar. We report 37 edible Orthoptera species, of which 28 are new species records of edible Orthoptera in Madagascar and 24 are new species records of edible Orthoptera in the world. Most species are endemic and occur in farming zones. Children are the primary collectors and consumers of edible Orthoptera. The insects are eaten both as snacks and main meals. Edible Orthoptera are primarily collected casually and marketing is rare, with the notable exceptions of the

Male calling songs of 10 widely distributed species of Gomphocerinae from localities in Kyrgyzstan were investigated. In all species songs of males from the Central Asiatic and European populations are almost identical in spite of the fact, that in some species localities in Kyrgyzstan are isolated from the main parts of their ranges by the deserts of the South Kazakhstan and Central Asia. Glyptobothrus maritimus is the only species from G. biguttulus group widely distributed over all the territory of Kyrgyzstan. G. mollis was found only in the North and Central Tien Shan Mts.; no other species of this group were found in Kyrgyzstan. Chorthippus apricarius from the Central and West Tien Shan Mts. does not differ from the nominotypical subspecies in the calling song pattern and demonstrates variability of diagnostic characters used earlier for distinguishing between Ch. apricarius apricarius and Ch. apricarius asiaticus. This gives grounds for establishing a synonymy Ch. apricarius apricarius ...

Four locustatachykinins (LomTK I-IV) were identified in about equal amounts in extracts of corpora cardiaca of locusts, using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and radioimmunoassay with synthetic LomTK I-IV as standards. Brain extracts also contained the four isoforms in roughly equimolar concentrations. Retrograde tracing of the nervi corporis cardiaci II (NCC II) in vitro with Lucifer yellow in combination with LomTK immunocytochemistry revealed that about half of the secretomotor neurons in the lateral part of the protocerebrum projecting into the glandular lobe of the corpora cardiaca (CCG) contain LomTK-immunoreactive material. Since the four LomTKs are present in the CCG, these four or five neurons in each hemisphere are likely to contain colocalized LomTK I-IV. The role of two of the LomTKs in the regulation of the release of adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) from the adipokinetic cells in the CCG in the locust was investigated. Experiments performed in vitro showed that ...

We evaluate the possibility of using insects as a haematological biomodel and we test phytoestrogen isoflavanoid, genistein, in Schistocerca gregaria, Periplaneta americana and Dysdercus cingulatus. Various reactions of haemocytes were found in these three species, both stimulation and inhibition of haemocyte concentration. The observed data reflected well the possible effects of soy products described in published studies on human subjects and it seems that future studies on the sensitivity of insect haemocytes could lead to an alternative haematological biomodel ...

For some reason eating grasshoppers and larvae in Thailand does not gross me out nearly as much as eating baby squid in China. Maybe its the crunch factor..

Escherichia coli K1 infection is a major cause of neonatal meningitis, with high rates of mortality and disability. Despite years of research, only a small number of factors contributing to E. coli K1 virulence have been identified. The Tat (twin-arginine translocation) protein export system is found in the cytoplasmic membrane of E. coli and is involved in the transport of folded proteins. In vivo and ex vivo models using the African migratory locust, Locusta migratoria, were employed to explore the role of Tat pathway in E. coli K1 virulence using tat-deletion mutants. Groups of locusts were infected and mortality was recorded at 24-h intervals. The findings revealed that ?tatA, Delta tatAC and ?tat produced levels of mortality similar to wild-type E. coli K1, with |78% mortality recorded within 72 h. Bacteraemia was determined from haemolymph obtained 3 and 24 h postinfection. Again, wild-type and ?tatA produced similar levels of bacteraemia. In contrast, Delta tatAC and ?tat produced lower levels of

by Vetscite. Reptiles are often chosen as pets when an allergy risk exists within a family and the choice is made to avoid potentially allergenic pets such as dogs, cats or guinea pigs. Researchers at the Messerli Research Institute, however, recently described a noteworthy clinical case in which an eight-year-old boy developed nightly attacks of severe shortness of breath four months after the purchase of a bearded dragon.. The cause for the allergic reaction turned out not to be the lizard itself but the animals food. The grasshoppers used to regularly feed the lizard were revealed to be the source of the allergy.. First author Erika Jensen-Jarolim speaks of the tip of an iceberg: Even colleagues with allergologic expertise could overlook insects as reptile food as a possible cause of such allergic reactions. Far too little is known about grasshoppers as a potential allergenic source in homes. We do know of cases, however, in which fish food has caused allergies. And insects are often ...

Implementation of the 3rd anti-locust campaign (September 2015 - June 2016). On 11-30 May 2016, the mobile aerial base operated from successive sites of the Outbreak Area of the Malagasy Migratory Locust (Manja, Morondava, Befandriana-South, Toliara and Ihosy) to control groups of fledglings of the 3rd generation of the rainy season. From 31 May 2016, the base moved to Miandrivazo, in the Invasion Area, to treat groups and small swarms of fledglings that had escaped from the Outbreak Area. From 11 May to 30 June 2016, locust populations have been controlled over an area of 29 325 ha, bringing the total of treated and protected areas to 467 333 ha since the beginning of the 2015/16 locust campaign. From 17 May to 29 June 2016, the supervision and coordination of the field activities were ensured by the Campaign Coordinator with the support of the Deputy Campaign Coordinator, who will continue to coordinate survey and control operations until the end of July 2016. Indeed, given the current locust ...

Insects have often been taken to represent qualities, for good or ill, and accordingly have been used as amulets to ward off evil, or as omens that predict forthcoming events. A blue-glazed faience dragonfly amulet was found by Flinders Petrie at Lahun, from the Late Middle Kingdom of ancient Egypt.[32] During the Greek Archaic Era, the grasshopper was the symbol of the polis of Athens,[33] possibly because they were among the most common insects on the dry plains of Attica.[33] Native Athenians wore golden grasshopper brooches to symbolize that they were of pure, Athenian lineage and did not have any foreign ancestors.[33] In later times, this custom became seen as a mark of archaism.[33] For some Native American tribes, dragonflies represent swiftness and activity; for the Navajo, they symbolize pure water. They are a common motif in Zuni pottery; stylized as a double-barred cross, they appear in Hopi rock art and on Pueblo necklaces.[34] Among the classical names of Japan are Akitsukuni ...

The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art said in a news release that the insect was stuck in the thick paint in the lower foreground of the famed artists Olive Trees.

Why did God allow this to happen, I sound now a little like Mark Twain, and Job who both questioned God as if they were smarter than He, trying to figure out why He [He being: God] does what he does. And of course, we are all ready to blame him for our own foolishness, our own scornful needs and deeds, as we do to Satan also. Grasshoppers, that is what we are-you know, just grasshoppers trying to make the Master Planner accountable to us, and Satan; of course Mark Twain tried to do that with Shakespeare as well, that is make him accountable to him as he wrote a book on him, and Methuselah also he wrote about, and I could go on, but he did write a few good books; one story about a frog that couldnt jump, and about a boy named Finn and Sawyer, that painted a fence and helped a Blackman out somewhere along the line; I think he was feeling sorry for himself for possibly being a coward in the Civil War, who knows; you know trying to make up for running away from the conflict. And I do not want to ...

By 1911, purchased by William Sturgis Bigelow (b. 1850 - d. 1926), Boston [see note 1]; 1911, gift of Bigelow to the MFA. (Accession Date: August 3, 1911) NOTES: [1] Much of Bigelows collection of Asian art was formed during his residence in Japan between 1882 and 1889, although he also made acquisitions in Europe and the United States. Bigelow deposited many of these objects at the MFA in 1890 before donating them to the Museums collection at later dates. ...

Yes. Apart from Chinas Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, of course.. WHAT? I dont know anything about that!. As you can see here, for some reason they have virtual weightlessness, and residents learn to just float from one place to the next.. I just Googled that, and theres nothing about it. Is this just more of your horse poopy? Let me change my story very slightly. These guys are rehearsing for a Chinese production of Peter Pan. Here, we see Peter leading the lost boys as…. You are hopeless! Im never coming back here for information again! Thats probably a good idea. You should go to Wikipedia.

Nicholas Humphries: Stephen King was quoted as saying, We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones. Do you think this is true?. Jared Carney: ‪I believe this is true to an extent. I mean, people go to see films of any genre as a form of escapism. We as a society absolutely love immersing ourselves in the problems, or horrors, of other people so we can forget our own. But, that said, to be honest I like being scared. ‪I remember when I was young and watching scary movies with my cousins they always made me sit at the end of the couch near the dark hallway because I could handle it. I feel like when Im scared I can truly see the world clearly. One thing that Ive always loved about horror is how it bursts peoples bubbles and reminds us of how ugly and abject the world can be.. NH: What is something that scares you that might surprise your audiences?. JC: Well I think a lot of people would think Im one of those Im not afraid of death people but to be honest, the thought of ...

I successfully completed a day long focus group on Monday. One of the fun things about these groups is that you often get paid in cash. So nice to see these two crisp Benjamins at the end of a long day. It really was a full day where we worked hard. We signed confidentiality agreements so I cant tell you too much. But if you are interested in doing this kind of work, you might use the phrase mock trial in your Google search.. If you are curious, the wonderful sculpture was done by my late friend, Gary Fey. Those of you that knew him will recognize him in his street performer/clown persona.. In about an hour I have another group scheduled. This one is online, 1/2 hours work and I get a $30 Amazon gift card. If you gotta work for other people, at least it is decent pay, right?. Of course I prefer to be self employed. Since I have retired, I want to develop my new career as an author and public speaker. I also am going to play around with poetry and performance at some open mics to see where ...

By Colin CraigRecently, an NDP MLA was chided on social media for reading Mouseland, a somewhat partisan story, to students in a local elementary school.Tommy Douglas, former NDP premier of Saskatchewan, regularly used the story as an analogy for his party’s woes at the federal level.

Laughter heals. Fortunately Im married to a very funny man! Throughout our marriage we have avoided and resolved many things through laughter. Life can be serious but it can also be quite funny - sometimes at the same time. I had a visit to the e.r. Monday morning with pain which resolved itself. While going through something terrible and being between two thin curtains I laughed at DHs comments and expressions related to the two people on opposite sides of me who really had created their own problems. (I also said a prayer for them) I thought it peculiar that I could laugh at a time like that. Also, my older brother said that he was going to try to do something because Elizabeth Marie was his favorite unborn relative. I thought that was so funny (maybe you have to know him) and everytime I think of it I laugh ...

LIONS ran riot to score seven tries in a superb display against fellow top-five side Preston to maintain their outside hopes of a promotion challenge in National Division Three North.

Gosh, has it been a week? A lot of lessons learned last week, so it was both good and hard. At the start of it we had a quiet Superbowl Sunday. We stayed home but made some special snacks so the girls would get into it with us. It had been busy leading up to the day, so we didnt plan ahead, which is nice sometimes. We stopped by the grocery store on the way home from Church and it was busier than Thanksgiving or Christmas ...

Burp gun=PPSh, I believe. I personally think the Piper is a support plane, not an assault weapon. I put the Piper in Tarawa to be the eyes of the destroyer if no one bothered to use binoculars. The destroyer is in there to balance the beach defenses. I dont intend the Piper to attack these targets, thats what the B25 is there for, and I initially thought that was enough for that role. I could be wrong.. ...

And in the wake of the flood comes the threat of invasion. Theres always Hymenachne (H. amplexicaulis) springing up amid the Scleria and reeds. But previous floods have brought the even worse Salvinia (S. molesta) and Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) into the system. So the spray boat was launched today to do a sweep of the main lagoon. Its a sign that the towns returning to normal! ...
