An Experimental Analysis Of The Relation Between Physiological States And Rheotaxis In Isopoda (1912)

By Warder Clyde Allee

Book Overview

""An Experimental Analysis Of The Relation Between Physiological States And Rheotaxis In Isopoda"" is a scientific research paper published in 1912 by American ecologist and zoologist Warder Clyde Allee. The paper presents the findings of a series of experiments conducted to investigate the relationship between physiological states and rheotaxis (the tendency of an organism to move towards or away from a current) in isopods, a type of crustacean.Allee's experiments involved subjecting isopods to various physiological stressors, such as changes in temperature and oxygen levels, and observing their response to a water current. The results of the experiments showed that the isopods' rheotactic behavior was influenced by their physiological state, with stressed individuals exhibiting a reduced response to the water current.The paper provides a detailed description of the experimental methods used, as well as the results and conclusions drawn from the research. It also includes a discussion of the broader implications of the findings for the study of animal behavior and ecology.Overall, ""An Experimental Analysis Of The Relation Between Physiological States And Rheotaxis In Isopoda"" is a significant contribution to the field of animal behavior and provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between physiology and behavior in organisms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
