Zeitschrift für vergleichende Physiologie Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

  1. 1.

    The removal of one or both antennae reduces the speed with which larval and adult (♀+♂) Locusta migratoria climb or run towards light.

  2. 2.

    The effect is greater with both antennae removed than with one.

  3. 3.

    Therefore in addition to their perceptive function, the antennae also have a stimulating (dynamogenous) function, as in the case of Anacridium aegyptium.
