The article represents physiological properties, morphology and anatomical position of terminal axonal arborisations of different functional groups of vibroreceptor neurons in the "deaf" ensiferan species with a correlation between the spatial distribution of axonal termination and frequency sensitivity (tonotopy). The data indicate the distribution of information into different portions of the primary vibratory neuropile providing the segregation of neuronal excitation into different centres at higher neuronal levels and consequently mediation of different behaviours.
F.02 Acquisition of new scientific knowledge
COBISS.SI-ID: 1907023The authors have shown the most recent results on investigation of substrate-borne communication in insects with low frequency tremulatory signals. On the example of the species Docidocercus gigliotosi they have proven that such signals are efficiently transmitted through the substrate so that they can replace sound signals emitted during the night. The work will have an impact on application in the frame of the biological control of insect pests and opens a new view on possible communication channel in cave crickets.
