Light is used to lure prey into sticky webs secreted by the larvae. Larvae can regulate the intensity of the emitted light so neural control of the glow is likely, either acting directly on the light-emitting cells or through regulation of oxygen access to the light organ. Here we describe the innervation, musculature, and tracheal supply in relation to the three-dimensional structure of the light organ, cryptonephridial complex and hindgut using serial section light microscopy and micro computed tomography (μCT). We also use video macrophotography to observe light emission in live larvae. Tracing of trachea in serial sections showed no structures that could actively restrict air supply to the mass of trachea termed the reflector. A bilateral pair of nerves lie alongside the Malpighian tubules and give rise to branches that innervate the hindgut and musculature. A network of muscles surround the light organ. A cryptonephridial complex anterior to the light organ is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath. The fact that the cryptonephridial complex is a plesiomorphic trait in Keroplatidae, the majority of which are not bioluminescent, suggests that the light organ is evolutionarily derived from the complex. We also propose that the cryptonephridial complex has a water conservation function in <em>Arachnocampa</em> because the larvae are potentially water-restricted. The three-dimensional reconstruction of the light organ provides morphological context for ongoing investigations of the biochemistry of light production and the physiological regulation of light output.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55461,"journal":{"name":"Arthropod Structure & Development","volume":"89 ","pages":"Article 101488"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145128267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On insect legs, CS play a role in the modulation of locomotion behavior because they provide feedback on cuticle bending. The presence and location of these sensors on the legs across insects is virtually unknown except for a few classical model species such as <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em> (Diptera), <em>Periplaneta americana</em> (Blattodea), <em>Carausius morosus</em> (Phasmatodea) and a few others. We studied representatives of all insect orders, except Strepsiptera, regarding the morphology, location, and arrangement of CS on their legs to infer whether (i) CS location and arrangement is phylogenetically structured, (ii) there is any variation in CS morphology in relation to leg function, and (iii) CS morphology and arrangement is fundamentally different between holo- and hemimetabolous insects. We found enormous variation in all three aspects studied here - CS morphology, location, and arrangement - with no tangible phylogenetic structure or any distinction between holo- and hemimetabolous insects. Moreover, species from orders which are commonly considered to walk only for very short distances such as Odonata or Raphidioptera showed high quantities of CS on their legs compared to orders which are commonly considered to have “good” walking abilities such as Coleoptera or Diptera. We could also find putative CS on the coxa in Odonata, Dermaptera, Plecoptera, Orthoptera, Mantophasmatodea, Grylloblattodea, Embioptera, Blattodea, Hymenoptera, Raphidioptera, Neuroptera, Coleoptera, and Mecoptera which contradicts a common paradigm that CS occur only from the trochanter towards more distal leg segments. With its high variability, it appears that CS location and arrangement evolves according to the particular ecological and neurophysiological niche of each species with no phylogenetic constraints and a rather high adaptivity instead. Our study provides a baseline for future studies on CS function in insects with different ecological niches.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55461,"journal":{"name":"Arthropod Structure & Development","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 101477"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144852253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The following stages in the development of the fertile receptacle were identified: trichogon-free, trichogon-containing, early, middle, late, and degenerating.

The cell types composing the receptacle wall (accessory, large female, polygonal, small-sized, and sheath cells) and the meshwork formed by the intercellular matrix were examined in detail. The accessory cells that separated spermatogenic and large female cells were probably derived from the trichogon which implanted cells of both germ and somatic lines.

Instead, all appear to generate an inward or rearward force. Previous work by comparative anatomists assigned antagonistic functions to sets of extrinsic muscles, but no anatomically distinct pivot points within a lever-based system were specified and do not appear to exist. These observations led us to revisit the problem and to propose a significant role for internal hydraulic pressure in cheliceral movement. The hydraulic hypothesis predicts that unimpeded increase in internal fluid pressure should result in inflation of basal membranes resulting in movement that could be resisted and manipulated by extrinsic cheliceral muscles. Experiments on freshly killed spiders showed that increased hydraulic pressure causes both rotational (adduction, levation, etc.) and translational (projection) movements at the cheliceral bases, movements that are synergistic with predatory strikes. This suggests that the co-option of hydraulics into cheliceral function may have increased cheliceral biting forces. Hydraulic function also allows for the basal cheliceral articulation to simultaneously produce both rotational and translational movement, a challenge for a lever-based fixed articulation. The co-option of hydraulics into additional tasks may have contributed to the evolutionary success of spiders, compared to their arachnid relatives that use hydraulics solely for locomotion.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55461,"journal":{"name":"Arthropod Structure & Development","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 101475"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144826808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
