깡충거미 표면 접착장치의 미세구조 분석 = Fine Structural Analysis of the Attachment Devices in the Jumping Spider Plexippus setipes

국문 초록 (Abstract)

거미의 외골격은 그 특성상 소수성이며 접착성이 없는 구조를 지니고 있지만, 일부 배회성 거미들은 부드럽고 건조한 표면을 따라 보행할 수 있는 독특한 접착장치를 지니고 있다. 본 연구는 거미류 접착보행 장치의 미세구조적 특성을 규명하기 위하여 깡충거미과의 세발깡충거미 (Plexippus setipes)를 실험재료로 하여 4쌍의 보행지에 형성된 접착장치를 고배율의 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 그 결과, 각각의 보행지에서 2개의 발톱(claw)과 강모다발 (scopula)이 관찰되었는데, 건조한 표면에 대한 부착력은 강모다발의 특이한 구조로부터 발생됨이 확인되었다. 각 보행지마다 약 160개의 강모 (seta)가 관찰되었는데, 표면과 접촉을 이루는 방향에 따라 두 집단의 강모다발로 구분되었다. 강모의 배면을 따라 형성된 무수한 감각모로 인해 인접 강모들과의 접착이 차단되어 있었고, 강모의 복면에서는 고밀도로 밀집된 미세강모 (setule)들이 관찰되었다. 미세강모의 첨단부는 역삼각형의 주걱모양으로 펼쳐져 충분한 접촉면을 확보하고 있었으며, 미세강모의 유연성과 그 표면에 형성된 큐티클 함몰부의 미세구조 등이 깡충거미류 부착장치의 특성임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Fine structure of the dry adhesion system in the tarsal appendages of the jumping spider Plexippus setipes (Araneae: Salticidae) with examined using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The jumping spiders have the distinctive attachment apparatus for adhesion on smooth dry surface without sticky fluids. They attach to rough substrates using tarsal claws, however attachment on smooth surfaces is achieved by means of a tuft-like hair called a scopula. All eight legs have the scopulae with a pair of claws on the tip of feet, and each scopula is composed of two groups of setae that are capable of dry adhesion on smooth surface. The apex of each seta is flattened pad bearing many specialized adhesive setules on one side. The cuticular sensillae are interspersed at the dorsal surface of the seta. It has been revealed by this research that the contact area of the setule is always a triangular shape, and these cuticular surfaces are connected by the elongated stalks from the underlying setae. Moreover, adhesion between the numerous setules and the setae was prevented by the microscopic hairs, since these were interspersed on the upper side of the setae.
