Maximum performance expression is affected by octopamine and antennae removal in Acheta domesticus
<p>Animals in nature seldom use their maximum performance abilities, likely in part due to context-dependent differences in performance motivation. Despite interest in the factors affecting performance expression, the physiological mechanisms underlying variation in performance motivation are poorly understood. We manipulated levels of the biogenic amine octopamine (OA) to test the hypothesis that OA drives motivation to express maximum bite force in male house crickets. We also tested the effect of antenna removal on bite force given prior evidence of potential links among antennaectomy, aggression, and OA. We found that administration of an OA antagonist, epinastine, significantly decreases realized maximum bite force, as does antenna removal. In addition, the performance decrement induced by antennaectomy is abolished by administration of excess OA, and that rescue effect is itself nullified by the simultaneous administration of epinastine. These data show that OA is an important mediator of performance, and thus of performance motivation, in insects, and potentially a promising candidate for the short term manipulation of performance as well.</p>

Fig. 1: Position, morphology and histology of the receptacular complex in crickets. Whilst the receptaculum seminis is characterized by uniform histological organization, the ductus receptaculi can be subdivided in at least three regions with different cellular structures and arrangements (ESSLER et al 1992, STURM 2005, 2007, 2008).

Bite force, body size, and octopamine mediate mating interactions in the house cricket (Acheta domesticus)
<p>Mating interactions are rife with conflict because the evolutionary interests of males and females seldom coincide. Intersexual conflict affects sexual selection, yet the proximate factors underlying male coercive ability and female resistance are poorly understood. Male combat outcomes are often influenced by bite force, with superior biters being more likely to achieve victory over poorer biters in a range of species, including crickets. If good performers also achieve mating success through sexual coercion, then bite force might play a role in intersexual conflict as well. We tested the capacity of bite force to influence mating interactions in house crickets both directly by measuring bite forces of males and females and by altering male bite capacity through neuropharmacological manipulation. In addition, the invertebrate neurotransmitter octopamine both mediates aggression and underlies motivation to bite in male house crickets. By blocking octopamine receptors through the application of an antagonist, epinastine, we tested the effects of reduced bite force on male mating success. Our results show that male bite capacity, in combination with body size, influences both the likelihood and the outcomes of mating interactions, whereas treatment of males with epinastine eliminates motivation to mate. Our results suggest a functional role for bite force in affecting both sexual conflict and sexual selection and expand our knowledge of the influence of biogenic amines on reproductive behavior. </p>

Figure 1 The shuttle box apparatus with propeller controller in the upper left-hand corner. In this image, one of the plexiglass covers (A) has been removed so that the shock grid can be seen more easily. In the experiments, one cricket was placed into the compartment labeled A and one cricket was placed into the compartment labeled B. A piece of filter paper was placed under the left-hand side of the shuttle box to illustrate the midpoint for the two halves of the compartment. Once the cricket was inside the compartment, the plexiglass was placed over the compartment to ensure that the cricket maintained contact with the grid.
