Anomalocaris Posted February 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 4, 2015 “A lot of studies show personality in other invertebrates,” says Isaac Planas-Sitjà, a behavioral ecologist at the Free University of Brussels and the lead author of the study. “But no one had looked at the American cockroach.” http://news.sciencemag.org/biology/2015/02/even-cockroaches-have-personalities 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblykiss Posted February 4, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I hope that the cockroaches in this study were numbered, filed, indexed, referenced, cross referenced and subjected to all kinds of depersonalization inducing experiments so that cockroachkind can finally understand what it is to be human...or in the army....or just a citizen of a large nation state..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarMountainKid Posted February 4, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I always regret killing a cockroach. It deserves to live its own life just like the rest of the animal kingdom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted February 4, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Joe's Apartment must have been like a nightmare for you. I came across it while channel surfing...needless to say it didn't take but just a second to flip to the next station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She-ra Posted March 10, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Apparently Cockroaches Have Personalities Anyone who has ever spied a cockroach in their kitchen may suspect that jerk, psychopath and sadist are among the character traits of these way-too-large, way-too-spry brown insects. But you’d be wrong. According to new research from Belgium, roaches can be quite admirable, exhibiting qualities of both bravery and shyness. By attaching microchips to the backs over over 300 cockroaches for months (shudder!), scientists were able to monitor the roaches’ behavior in an enclosed arena and observe varying personalities among the insects.
