The Co-Ordination of Insect Movements
Abstract
Though walking forms part of many insect behaviour patterns, the mechanism of insect walking has received relatively little attention in recent years. As a preliminary to a later investigation of neuromuscular co-ordination in insects, the normal pattern of walking movements in the cockroach and other insects has been studied. The results obtained and an account of the functional anatomy of the insect leg are given in this paper. The forces involved have not been measured, but a preliminary analysis of the mechanics of walking has been made with the help of ‘stills’ from cinematographic films. The use of cinematography greatly facilitates such an investigation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
