Behavior as a window on physiology: a simple apparatus for recording caterpillar feeding

E. Bowdan
Department of Zoology, University of Massachusetts, Amherst 01003.

Regulation of feeding is a fundamental element of homeostasis. This is reflected in the similarity of control mechanisms in a wide range of animals, including insects and humans. A close examination of feeding behavior can illuminate the physiological processes driving regulation. A simple, inexpensive method for recording fine details of feeding by caterpillars is described. Possible experiments, interpretation of the data, and the relationship of observations to the underlying physiology, are outlined.
