Abstract EN
The main features of grooming behavior are amazingly similar among arthropods and land vertebrates and serve the same needs.
A particular pattern of cleaning movements in cockroaches shows cephalo-caudal progression.
Grooming sequences become longer after adaptation to the new setting.
Novelty related changes in grooming are recognized as a form of displacement behavior.
Statistical analysis of behavior revealed that antennal grooming in American cockroach, Periplaneta americana L., was significantly enhanced in the presence of odor.
