Evidence for the dilution effect in the selfish herd from fish predation on a marine insect
TLDR
Field observations of predation on a marine insect are presented, in which it is possible, for the first time, to quantify the magnitude of the dilution effect and distinguish it from other benefits of group living.

Mechanisms of ionic homeostasis in the central nervous system of an insect.
TLDR
It is suggested that the homeostatic role of the neuroglial ion pumps is augmented by an anion matrix which functions as an extracellular sodium reservoir which is released by the matrix to maintain the sodium activity in the fluid at the axon surfaces.

Distribution and environmental synchronization of the marine insect, Halobates robustus, in the Galapagos Islands
TLDR
It was demonstrated that the daily bimodal rhythm of encounters is triggered by dawn and, since it is not maintained in constant light or dark, an ‘hour-glass’ mechanism is suggested.

The effects of sodium-transport inhibitors and cooling on membrane potentials in cockroach central nervous connectives.
TLDR
It is concluded that the axonal sodium pump is pharmacologically separable from that associated with the perineurial and/or the glial membranes: the former being inhibited by cardiac glycosides, the latter by ethacrynic acid.

Localization of the blood-brain barrier of an insect: electrical model and analysis
TLDR
From results, the shunt can be calculated to be an important contributor to the resistance across the perineurium, having a resistance about 0.9 times that of the transcellular resistance.
