Behavioral responses are elicited depending on the quality and strength of the key stimulus but also...

... as chemical signatures that both contain information on location and suitability of the prey. In order to determine how these two wake stimuli are utilised in prey tracking, we conducted experiments in catfish in which either the lateral line or the external gustation was ablated. We found that a functional...

... of locusts are thought to possess four chemosensory neurones and a single mechanosensory afferent ( Chapman, 1982 ). Contact-chemoreception, or gustation, is a fundamentally important sense to many animals, including insects. Chemical stimuli sampled at close quarters may be implicated in the successful...
