Failure to launch? The influence of limb autotomy on the escape behavior of a semiaquatic grasshopper Paroxya atlantica (Acrididae)

Autotomy is an extreme escape tactic where an animal sheds an appendage to escape predation. Many species alter their behaviour postautotomy to compensate for this loss. We examined the escape behavior in the field of a semiaquatic grasshopper (Paroxyaatlantica) that could escape either by flight an...
