“…The additional mass and wind resistance of our tether design may also have affected steering behaviour. While our tether (20% body mass) was heavier than tethers used previously [12% body mass of Schistocerca gregaria (Kutsch et al, 1993)], preliminary studies using a weight-neutral loose tether attached to L. migratoria with legs removed (i.e. equivalent to an unloaded intact locust) (Mohr and Gray, 2003) showed similar types and timing of responses as reported here.…”

“…This device, adapted for the spider Fenk and Schmid, 2011;Neuhofer et al, 2009;Orlando and Schmid, 2011) from one used previously with locusts (Kutsch et al, 1993), comprises an amplifier, an oscillator, a transmitter and a small battery. The recording electrode (a coated Manganin wire, diameter 30 μm) was inserted into the muscle; the reference electrode (a silver wire, diameter 250 μm) was inserted laterally into the prosoma.…”

“…For the extracellular recordings from the dorsal eye muscles, a singlechannel telemetric transmitter device was used, consisting of an amplifier, oscillator and transmitter, with a small battery as a power source (Kutsch et al, 1993;Neuhofer et al, 2009). The recording electrode (30m, coated manganin wire; Isabellenhütte, Dillenburg, Germany) and the reference electrode (silver wire) were attached to the transmitter device.…”
