Research Abstract

Male crickets Gryllus bimaculatus show intensive aggressive behaviors when they come across another male and start to fight each other. After the fight, the subordinate does not fight any more in his second encounter with other males, but shows escape behavior from the opponent. In this study, we aimed to clarify the neuronal mechanism underlying the aggressive behavior elicited by the cuticular substances. First, we found that the antennal input was crucial to exhibit aggressive and avoidance behavior correctly. Next, pharmacological studies showed that the nitric oxide signal suppressed aggressiveness whereas the octopamine signal enhanced. We concluded that nitric oxide and octopamine concertedly worked in the brain and controlled the aggressiveness of the male crickets.
