  ABLE: Determining Hemolymph Volume of the Cockroach
Berry is a Professor of Zoology at the University of Toronto.
In practical terms, cockroaches are cheaper than vertebrates, and since they are neither "furry" nor "cuddly" their use does not (yet) anger the animal-rights enthusiasts.
Twenty-four cockroaches (Periplaneta americana) are transferred from our breeding colony to a large (1 liter) stock jar 24 hours before the laboratory class; both food (dry rat pellets) and water (in a small vial with a cotton plug) are available in the stock jar.

Berry, who is now welcomed into Binker's by other patrons with an in synch scream of "The Crab Master," got the idea from a weekly crab racing tournament that took place more then a decade ago at the now closed Arvada bar Laddy's.
Caulder gave free reign to Berry to develop the races, and he and Kennedy bought all the tanks, food, crabs and material needed to build the track.
Cockroach racing has also been reported in casinos and bars in Russia as well.

 appROACHES: an annotated bibliography of COCKROACHES in starring and cameo roles in the creative arts.
Literary cockroaches usually empathize and are associated with the weak and downtrodden from Aristophanes' beleaguered farmers in "Peace" (421 B.C.) to the poor, drug-addicted, outlawed and stigmatized whether because of race, ethnic heritage, sex or sexual preference, age or species.
Though not specifically about cockroaches, the termite is so close a relative that a novel in which they are the major characters is worth pursuing--especially when it is a fast-moving and exciting tale that along the way gives a pretty accurate view of termite society.
It is to the fertile valleys where life (the symbolic force of the cockroach when it is not perverted by the religion of either Temple or Church) flourishes that Rosie goes at the end of the novel--though Ebejer suggests that her escape is only temporary.

It is very important that tenants are educated about cockroaches and there is communication between the pest control technicians, building owners/landlords, and the tenants as to the role each of them have in successfully eliminating cockroaches.
While it is unlikely that you can control a cockroach problem solely by reducing or eliminating food, water, and favorable places to live, you can significantly stress cockroaches and increase their exposure to insecticides when the cockroaches' access to these things are limited.

 Sheet Composting Overpowers Weeds In Restoration Project
Cockroach bay — a favorite spot for fishermen, canoeists and wildlife lovers — has been called Florida’s “Jewel of Tampa Bay.” For 40 years prior to 1991, the upland surrounding Cockroach Bay was farmed and mined for oyster shells.
The restoration project began taking shape in 1991, when 650 acres (150 acres of intertidal wetlands and 500 acres of tomato farmland and decommissioned shell mining pits surrounding Cockroach Bay) were purchased for $2.1 million by the Hillsborough County Environmental Lands and Acquisition Program.
In the fall of 1998, shipments of yard trimmings from St. Petersburg to Cockroach Bay began, and a 41-acre, native-habitat upland project site was selected and designed for planting by the Southwest Florida Water Management District and Hillsborough County Parks Department.

Rockville, MD - No, it's not the cockroach, but rather a strain of pink bacteria that can survive 1.5 million rads of gamma irradiation - a dose 3,000 times the amount that would kill a human.
Typically, it is found in locations where most other bacteria have died from extreme conditions, ranging from the shielding pond of a radioactive cesium source to the surfaces of Arctic rocks.
Its name, due to its berry shape, means "strange or terrible berry that withstands radiation."
