- W2039761457 abstract "1. Larval net‐winged midges (Diptera: Blephariceridae) possess six ventral suckers that enable them to inhabit swift streams. Each sucker consists of a suction disc and a cavity with a piston. Large muscles are inserted within the piston, as well as at the base of the suction disc. This structure infers that both attachment and release of the sucker is achieved by vertical movements of the piston. 2. Live observations of blepharicerid larvae revealed that the sucker is indeed attached by an upward movement of the piston, but that the cavity is flooded when the sucker is released. The piston is lowered only at the end of a sucker ‘step’, expelling water from the cavity. 3. During foraging, the maxilla and the piston of the first sucker are moved synchronously, indicating that the first sucker functions as a holdfast thus facilitating grazing. 4. The adhesive forces, as well as the relative size of blepharicerid suckers, differ amongst species. They are highest in Hapalothrix lugubris and lowest in Liponeura cordata , which correlates with the hydraulic stress to which the larvae of these species are exposed in their preferred habitat. The balance between the efficiency of their retention structure and the hydraulic conditions of their preferred habitat defines a key dimension of their ecological niche." @default.
