摘要

The benefits of autotomy of appendages are usually obvious, but the costs are often less apparent. This study reports the effects of leg autotomy on mobility, foraging ability, and sensory perception in L. nigripes and L. vittatum. The running speedof both species was recorded in a test track. Individuals of both species with only 5 legs were significantly slower than those with 6 or more legs. The mobility and foraging abilities of L. nigripes were tested by recording the time it took for them tofind and eat chilled Drosophila virilis. Those harvestmen with only 5 legs spent significantly less time moving and foraging than did those with more legs and took significantly longer to find food than did those with 7 or 8 legs. These results indicatethat significant reductions of mobility and foraging ability occur only after the loss of 3 or more legs. Also, flies were eaten significantly sooner after contact with either of the first legs than after contact with the second legs, suggesting that the first pair of legs is more important in identifying food than had been indicated previously in the literature.
