title: Skeletomuscular Adaptations Of Head And Legs Of Melissotarsus Ants For Tunnelling Through Living Wood

description: Micro-CT raw datasets (in DICOM format) used in "Skeletomuscular adaptations of head and legs of Melissotarsus ants for tunnelling through living wood"

 

<strong>Abstract:</strong>

Background: While thousands of ant species are arboreal, very few are able to chew and tunnel through living wood. Ants of the genus <em>Melissotarsus</em> (subfamily Myrmicinae) inhabit tunnel systems excavated under the bark of living trees, where they keep large numbers of symbiotic armoured scale insects (family Diaspididae). Construction of these tunnels by chewing through healthy wood requires tremendous power, but the adaptations that give <em>Melissotarsus</em> these abilities are unclear. Here, we investigate the morphology of the musculoskeletal system of <em>Melissotarsus</em> using histology, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray spectrometry, X-ray microcomputed tomography (micro-CT), and 3D modelling.

Results: Both the head and legs of <em>Melissotarsus</em> workers contain novel skeletomuscular adaptations to increase their ability to tunnel through living wood. The head is greatly enlarged dorsoventrally, with large mandibular closer muscles occupying most of the dorsal half of the head cavity, while ventrally-located opener muscles are also exceptionally large. This differs from the strong closing: opening asymmetry typical of most mandibulated animals, where closing the mandibles requires more force than opening. Furthermore, the mandibles are short and cone-shaped with a wide articulatory base that concentrates the force generated by the muscles towards the tips. The increased distance between the axis of mandibular rotation and the points of muscle insertion provides a mechanical advantage that amplifies the force from the closer and opener muscles. We suggest that the uncommonly strong opening action is required to move away crushed plant tissues during tunnelling and allow a steady forward motion. X-ray spectrometry showed that the tip of the mandibles is reinforced with zinc. Workers in this genus have aberrant legs, including mid- and hindlegs with hypertrophied coxae and stout basitarsi equipped with peg-like setae, and midleg femura pointed upward and close to the body. This unusual design famously prevents them from standing and walking on a normal two-dimensional surface. We reinterpret these unique traits as modifications to brace the body during tunnelling rather than locomotion per se.

Conclusions: <em>Melissotarsus</em> represents an extraordinary case study of how the adaptation to – and indeed engineering of – a novel ecological niche can lead to the evolutionary redesign of core biomechanical systems.

title: Sensorimotor synchronisation with a humanoid robot

description: The influence of social interactivity and engagement between co-actors during coordinated movement is not fully understood. To address the role of such interactivity, this project investigated synchronisation with either a socially engaging humanoid robot that exhibits explicit communicative cues intended to encourage social engagement (‘SocialBot’), or a static, non-engaging humanoid robot partner (‘MetroBot’). Both conditions included three levels of robot drumming adaptivity, ranging from minimally to moderately adaptive. The data consists of sensorimotor synchronisation data (text files) for 33 participants who drummed in time with both versions of the robot at the three levels of drumming adaptivity (referred to as the parameter alpha). Each participant’s data is stored in a separate folder named with the participant number. Note, the participant numbers start at P007 (participants 1 – 6 were pilot participants). The text files (48 files per participant – 4 blocks of 12 trials) include timing data for each auditory sequence and the associated drum stroke timing, as well as data relating to asynchrony, inter-tap intervals and inter-onset intervals. The degree of adaptivity is specified as ‘Alpha’ (either 0.1, 0.4, or 0.7) within the top two header rows of each text file. The robot condition is specified in the file name as either ‘R1’ or ‘R2’ for the Metrobot condition and either ‘H1’ or ‘H2’ for the SocialBot condition. The order that the conditions were presented in is specified with the letter B in the file name, e.g. B1 refers to the first block presented, B2 relates to the second etc. The final number within the file names refer to the trial number within each block starting at 0 through to 11 (12 trials).
