From paper: "Just as we mammals have evolved highly acute sensory mechanisms to detect gravity acting on our bodies and appendages, so have invertebrates developed these capacities. For invertebrates, perceiving gravity's pull presents a number of fascinating challenges, which are accentuated by their diminutive stature. For tiny animals, the gravitational force can be vanishingly small, requiring exquisite sensitivity in order to measure it. Invertebrates have correlates of each of the gravity-sensing systems found in humans, some by shared ancestry and some by convergent evolution. Additional exotic solutions highlight the performance demands of invertebrate locomotion. Here we will discuss strategies for gravity detection by invertebrates during terrestrial, aquatic, and aerial locomotion. Notwithstanding the obvious architectural and developmental disparities, we shall, where possible, compare their solutions to our own."
