oblongus, a magnification of 18Г— resulted in an effective pixel size of 0.5 Вµm. For converting X-rays into visible light an LSO terbium doped scintillator was employed. An indirect detector system based on scintillating screen, diffraction limited optical microscope and CCD detector was used for the acquisition of the frames. The tomographic 180В° scans were taken using a filtered white beam with the spectrum peak at about 20 keV. Tomographic scans were performed at the microtomographic station at the TOPO-TOMO beamline of the ANKA synchrotron radiation facility located at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany.

Thus, a full understanding of the passive defence mechanisms may lead to a better understanding of the genus' extraordinary diversity. A compact thanatosis position may be a character that gained evolutionary significance with Trigonopterus' inability to fly. Specimens are found sitting on foliage or in the litter of forest floors, but little is known of their biology. New Guinea appears to be a centre of its diversity with more than 300 species recorded.

Its hundreds of species are spread over its range, many of them still undescribed. Trigonopterus Fauvel is a genus of wingless weevils dwelling in primary forests of Southeast Asia and Melanesia.

Movements appeared mechanically blocked and it was impossible to identify the blocking mechanism by manual examination.ДЇlow diagram of the steps creating an interactive animated 3D model, based on the example of a screw-and-nut type hip joint of the weevil Trigonopterus oblongus.ДЄfter acquisition of a 3D volume, scientific visualization software (e.g. When preparing preserved specimens we found it hard to move their rostrum and legs from thanatosis into a walking position. The latter involves death-feigning, also known as thanatosis.

We illustrate the workflow ( Figure 1) based on ОјCT (synchrotron X-ray microtomography) data of Trigonopterus weevils : First, the hind leg's screw-and-nut type joint is animated ( Figure S1) we proceed with the animation of the entire weevil, i.e., a motion system comprising 44 components ( Figure S2), to clarify the functional morphology of its defensive behaviour. Herein, we describe an approach to analyse and illustrate complex motion systems by animating 3D mesh models of static specimens with the help of 3D animation software. Most software applications used for image stack segmentation do not offer sufficient functionality to move polygon meshes with respect to each other. distinct muscle groups or parts of the skeleton. ДЄnimated 3D PDF (portable document format) files, however, provide a much broader range of interactivity as opposed to movies, as the perspective can be chosen and varied and/or complex models can be masked to show only selected parts of interest, e.g. Some animations of 3D data have been published recently as 2D movies вЂ“. Digital models based on segmented datasets allow the analysis of both external and internal structures, and by providing a вЂњdigital copyвЂќ they facilitate a non-destructive examination of minute, brittle, and irreplaceable samples. In recent years, the arrival of three-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques significantly extended the pool of available methods for morphological studies вЂ“. The deterministic interaction of accurately fitting body parts follows a defined sequence, which resembles a piece of engineering.ДЇunctional morphology of animals usually relies on observations of living specimens and/or the interpretation of morphological characters found in dead ones. This posture is achieved by a specific cascade of movements: Head and legs interlock mutually and with specific features of thorax and the first abdominal ventrite, presumably to increase the mechanical stability of the beetle and to maintain the defence position with minimal muscle activity. We illustrate the function of an individual screw-and-nut type hip joint and proceed to the complex movements of the entire insect attaining a defence position. The method is particularly suitable to simulate joints with largely deterministic movements due to precise form closure.

We demonstrate the use of animated 3D models embedded in PDF documents, which combine the advantages of both movie and interactivity, based on the example of preserved Trigonopterus weevils. Digital surface mesh models based on segmented datasets have become an integral part of studies on animal anatomy and functional morphology usually, they are published as static images, movies or as interactive PDF files.
