Abstract
Stimulation of the male German cockroach, Blattella germanica, with contact sex pheromone releases courtship behaviour and then area-restricted local search. Servosphere-recorded search patterns, compared to pre-stimulus pathways, are characterised by increased looping and path crossing and a relatively high rate of turning. Search behaviour can be performed in the absence of visual cues, including information relative to the site of stimulation. Information controlling search motor patterns is at least in part genetic; certain pattern components are generally similar from trial to trial, whereas specific pattern components vary widely.
