Phonotaxis in Male Field Crickets: The Role of Flight Experience, Serotonin and Octopamine Neurotransmission Open
Insect phonotaxis is influenced by various external and internal factors related to the environment and to the inner states of an organism. Previously, we found that flight, a natural behavior common among insects, significantly enhances t…

High-Pass Noise Suppression in the Mosquito Auditory System Open
Mosquitoes detect sound with their antennae, which transmit vibrations to mechanosensory neurons in Johnston’s organ. However, their auditory system is exposed to low-frequency noise such as convective and thermal noise, as well as noise i…

Monoaminergic Systems in Flight-Induced Potentiation of Phonotactic Behavior in Female Crickets Gryllus bimaculatus Open
We have recently shown that experience of flight remarkably enhanced subsequent terrestrial phonotaxis in females in response to the male calling song. Here, we elucidated the possible roles of octopamine and serotonin in the enhancing eff…

Mapping the Auditory Space of Culex pipiens Female Mosquitoes in 3D Open
The task of directional hearing faces most animals that possess ears. They approach this task in different ways, but a common trait is the use of binaural cues to find the direction to the source of sound. In insects, the task is further c…

Effect of octopamine on the frequency tuning of the auditory system in <i>Culex pipiens pipiens</i> mosquito (Diptera, Culicidae) Open
We aimed at demonstrating the direct physiological effects of octopamine on the auditory responses of the Johnston’s organ sensory neurons in Culex pipiens pipiens mosquitoes. Responses to acoustic stimulation were measured as the frequenc…

Intense Locomotion Enhances Oviposition in the Freshwater Mollusc Lymnaea stagnalis: Cellular and Molecular Correlates Open
Intense species-specific locomotion changes the behavioural and cognitive states of various vertebrates and invertebrates. However, whether and how reproductive behaviour is affected by previous increased motor activity remains largely unk…
