TEMPERATURE CHARACTERISTIC FOR LOCOMOTOR ACTIVITY IN TENT CATERPILLARS

The frequency of abdominal peristaltic locomotor waves in tent caterpillars during vertical ascension is controlled by the temperature according to the equation of Arrhenius. The constant µ (temperature characteristic) has the value 12,200 calories, agreeing quantitatively with the value obtained fo...

Descripción
Sumario:The frequency of abdominal peristaltic locomotor waves in tent caterpillars during vertical ascension is controlled by the temperature according to the equation of Arrhenius. The constant µ (temperature characteristic) has the value 12,200 calories, agreeing quantitatively with the value obtained for a number of other (non-respiratory) rhythmic neuromuscular movements among arthropods.
