A specialized behavior, oviposition, is produced by the eighth and ninth abdominal segments of female grasshoppers. To begin to understand how these segments produce the behavior, which is not displayed by males or pregenital regions of the abdomen in females, the structure and function of efferent

The femur-tibia (FT) joint of insects is governed by a neuronal network that controls activity in tibial motoneurons by processing sensory information about tibial position and movement provided by afferents of the femoral chordotonal organ (fCO). We show that central arborizations of fCO afferents
Coordination of motor output be-EPSPs in levator motoneurons, providing evidence for tween leg joints is crucial for the generation of posture direct connections between fCO afferents and levator and active movements in multijointed appendages of motoneurons.

## Abstract By treating the clean skeletal tissue of an insect with concentrated KOH at 160Β° C., the contained chitin is converted to chitosan, and all pigmentation and admixtures are removed. The per cent distribution of chitin, expressed as chitosan, in the exoskeleton of the cockroach, Periplane
