Fixed Action Patterns

17.4K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Amoebozoa represent a diverse group of terrestrial and aquatic protists that utilize lobe-shaped pseudopodia for locomotion and feeding. This characteristic differentiates them from the Rhizaria, which possess threadlike pseudopodia. The primary classifications within Amoebozoa include gymnamoebas, entamoebas, and the plasmodial and cellular slime molds. Phylogenetic evidence indicates that Amoebozoa diverged from a lineage that ultimately gave rise to fungi and animals.Gymnamoebas and...

When cells are placed in a hypotonic (low-salt) fluid, they can swell and burst. Meanwhile, cells in a hypertonic solution—with a higher salt concentration—can shrivel and die. How do fish cells avoid these gruesome fates in hypotonic freshwater or hypertonic seawater environments?

Alveolates are a group of organisms recognized by the presence of alveoli, which are cytoplasmic sacs located beneath the cell membrane. While their function remains uncertain, alveoli may help regulate water balance by controlling how much water enters and leaves the cell. In dinoflagellates, these structures may serve as armor plates. There are three major types of alveolates: ciliates, which move using cilia; dinoflagellates, which use flagella for movement; and apicomplexans, which are...

Area of Science:

  • Entomology
  • Zoology
  • Taxonomy

Background:

  • The genus Ostrovus Ricker, 1952, is a group of insects requiring further taxonomic clarification.
  • Previous descriptions of Ostrovus species lack detailed morphological and behavioral data for comparative analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a new species of Ostrovus from northern Kyushu, Japan.
  • To provide detailed morphological descriptions of male and female adults, eggs, and male drumming signals.
  • To compare the new species with two known congeners: Ostrovus mitsukonis and Ostrovus nikkoensis.

Main Methods:

  • Morphological examination of adult specimens (male and female) and eggs.
  • Analysis of male drumming signals, including sound production mechanisms and signal patterns.
  • Comparative analysis of morphological characteristics with existing Ostrovus species descriptions and illustrations.

Main Results:

  • A new species of Ostrovus is described, characterized by a blackish body and wings.
  • The male epiproct exhibits a sclerotized semicircular dorsal top and a beak-shaped apex in lateral view.
  • Male drumming calls consist of percussive tapping producing a grouped bi-beat signal pattern.

Conclusions:

  • The distinct morphological features and drumming signal pattern confirm the new species' taxonomic status within the genus Ostrovus.
  • The study enhances the understanding of Ostrovus diversity in Japan.
  • Illustrated morphological characteristics aid in the identification and differentiation of Ostrovus species.
