The potential costs of this behavior have been scarcely studied. In addition, locomotion and substrate-dependent performance might be affected by autotomy. We did a comparative and observational study to investigate whether losing legs affects the escape speed and trajectory of harvestmen in the genus Prionostemma Pocock, 1903 (Eupnoi: Sclerosomatidae) on different substrates: soil (the least roughened), smooth bark and mossy bark (the most roughened) in a tropical premontane forest in Costa Rica. We observed that 71% of the individuals found were missing at least one leg. Harvestmen, regardless of leg condition, walked faster and made fewer turns in their trajectory in the soil. While climbing, they were faster on smooth bark than in moss. On all substrates, autotomized individuals were slower and had a more erratic trajectory than intact ones. The type of missing legs (sensory or locomotor) had no influence on the speed or trajectory. We experimentally induced autotomy and found that walking speed on soil decreases if individuals lose a leg. Our findings confirm that losing legs affects locomotion, and we provide novel insights on how locomotion in these harvestmen depends on surface roughness. Our data suggest that moss could be a type of substrate that requires more elaborate skills in balance, orientation and texture recognition than smooth bark.Consejo Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación Tecnológica - ConcytecengBio OneJournal of Arachnologyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSclerosomatidaeCosta Rica-1Costa Rica-1Eupnoi-1Opiliones-1Opiliones-1https://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#1.06.11-1Losing legs and walking hard: effects of autotomy and different substrates in the locomotion of harvestmen in the genus Prionostemmainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlereponame:CONCYTEC-Institucionalinstname:Consejo Nacional de Ciencia Tecnología e Innovacióninstacron:CONCYTEC20.500.12390/1078oai:repositorio.concytec.gob.pe:20.500.12390/10782024-05-30 16:01:01.22http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_14cbinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessmetadata only accesshttps://repositorio.concytec.gob.peRepositorio Institucional CONCYTECrepositorio@concytec.gob.pe#PLACEHOLDER_PARENT_METADATA_VALUE##PLACEHOLDER_PARENT_METADATA_VALUE##PLACEHOLDER_PARENT_METADATA_VALUE##PLACEHOLDER_PARENT_METADATA_VALUE##PLACEHOLDER_PARENT_METADATA_VALUE##PLACEHOLDER_PARENT_METADATA_VALUE##PLACEHOLDER_PARENT_METADATA_VALUE##PLACEHOLDER_PARENT_METADATA_VALUE##PLACEHOLDER_PARENT_METADATA_VALUE##PLACEHOLDER_PARENT_METADATA_VALUE##PLACEHOLDER_PARENT_METADATA_VALUE#<Publication xmlns="https://www.openaire.eu/cerif-profile/1.1/" id="5053699e-95c4-4b29-9eba-249a015535db"> <Type xmlns="https://www.openaire.eu/cerif-profile/vocab/COAR_Publication_Types">http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_1843</Type> <Language>eng</Language> <Title>Losing legs and walking hard: effects of autotomy and different substrates in the locomotion of harvestmen in the genus Prionostemma</Title> <PublishedIn> <Publication> <Title>Journal of Arachnology</Title> </Publication> </PublishedIn> <PublicationDate>2016</PublicationDate> <DOI>https://doi.org/10.1636/J15-08.1</DOI> <ISI-Number>375167800009</ISI-Number> <Authors> <Author> <DisplayName>Dominguez, M</DisplayName> <Person id="rp03053" /> <Affiliation> <OrgUnit> </OrgUnit> </Affiliation> </Author> <Author> <DisplayName>Escalante, I</DisplayName> <Person id="rp03060" /> <Affiliation> <OrgUnit> </OrgUnit> </Affiliation> </Author> <Author> <DisplayName>Carrasco-Rueda, F</DisplayName> <Person id="rp03054" /> <Affiliation> <OrgUnit> </OrgUnit> </Affiliation> </Author> <Author> <DisplayName>Figuerola-Hernandez, CE</DisplayName> <Person id="rp03051" /> <Affiliation> <OrgUnit> </OrgUnit> </Affiliation> </Author> <Author> <DisplayName>Ayup, MM</DisplayName> <Person id="rp03052" /> <Affiliation> <OrgUnit> </OrgUnit> </Affiliation> </Author> <Author> <DisplayName>Umana, MN</DisplayName> <Person id="rp03059" /> <Affiliation> <OrgUnit> </OrgUnit> </Affiliation> </Author> <Author> <DisplayName>Ramos, D</DisplayName> <Person id="rp03057" /> <Affiliation> <OrgUnit> </OrgUnit> </Affiliation> </Author> <Author> <DisplayName>Gonzalez-Zamora, A</DisplayName> <Person id="rp03056" /> <Affiliation> <OrgUnit> </OrgUnit> </Affiliation> </Author> <Author> <DisplayName>Brizuela, C</DisplayName> <Person id="rp03058" /> <Affiliation> <OrgUnit> </OrgUnit> </Affiliation> </Author> <Author> <DisplayName>Delgado, W</DisplayName> <Person id="rp03055" /> <Affiliation> <OrgUnit> </OrgUnit> </Affiliation> </Author> <Author> <DisplayName>Pacheco-Esquivel, J</DisplayName> <Person id="rp03050" /> <Affiliation> <OrgUnit> </OrgUnit> </Affiliation> </Author> </Authors> <Editors> </Editors> <Publishers> <Publisher> <DisplayName>Bio One</DisplayName> <OrgUnit /> </Publisher> </Publishers> <Keyword>Sclerosomatidae</Keyword> <Keyword>Costa Rica</Keyword> <Keyword>Costa Rica</Keyword> <Keyword>Eupnoi</Keyword> <Keyword>Opiliones</Keyword> <Keyword>Opiliones</Keyword> <Abstract>Autotomy, the strategy of voluntarily releasing a leg during an encounter with a potential predator or in agonistic interactions between conspecifics, is common in animals.
