Recent interest in the roles played by crustaceans in the environment has taken investigations of this highly diverse group of inver­ tebrates out of the exclusive realms of basic science and fisheries and made them topics of applied research as well. As a result, the literature pertaining to crustaceans is not only prolific, but also widely scattered and often highly specialized and technical. This book summarizes much of the more recently acquired basic data and the current interpretations of existing information. Its format has been de­ veloped with two purposes in mind. The first is the presentation of the material in the form of a text in crustacean biology, complete with step-by- step directions for the study of specific groups. The second is to provide a concise reference to the major morphological and anatomical characters of the higher crustacean taxa for both specialists and nonspecialists. Many evolutionary and phylogenetic carcinological questions have not yet been resolved. Consequently not all carcinologists will agree with the clas­ sification and terminology employed in this text. With regard to the classifi­ cation, I have adopted a conservative approach, preferring to await further evidence before taking the major step of recognizing the Crustacea as a distinct phylum. With regard to terminology, although I recognize and ap­ preciate the usefulness of specialized terms in particular situations, I believe that the use of uniform terms for homologous structures reduces confusion and makes the subject matter more comprehensible to the general reader. The field of carcinology is a vast and exciting one in which our present level of scientific knowledge is still relatively limited. I hope that this book provides a basic knowledge of the Crustacea upon which future carcinologists will build. October 1979 Patsy A. McLaughlin ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am deeply indebted to Drs. L. G.

  • Learning in Stomatopod Crustaceans
    International Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2006, 19 , 297-317. Copyright 2006 by the International Society for Comparative Psychology Learning in Stomatopod Crustaceans Thomas W. Cronin University of Maryland Baltimore County, U.S.A. Roy L. Caldwell University of California, Berkeley, U.S.A. Justin Marshall University of Queensland, Australia The stomatopod crustaceans, or mantis shrimps, are marine predators that stalk or ambush prey and that have complex intraspecific communication behavior. Their active lifestyles, means of predation, and intricate displays all require unusual flexibility in interacting with the world around them, imply- ing a well-developed ability to learn. Stomatopods have highly evolved sensory systems, including some of the most specialized visual systems known for any animal group. Some species have been demonstrated to learn how to recognize and use novel, artificial burrows, while others are known to learn how to identify novel prey species and handle them for effective predation. Stomatopods learn the identities of individual competitors and mates, using both chemical and visual cues. Furthermore, stomatopods can be trained for psychophysical examination of their sensory abilities, including dem- onstration of color and polarization vision. These flexible and intelligent invertebrates continue to be attractive subjects for basic research on learning in animals with relatively simple nervous systems. Among the most captivating of all arthropods are the stomatopod crusta- ceans, or mantis shrimps. These marine creatures, unfamiliar to most biologists, are abundant members of shallow marine ecosystems, where they are often the dominant invertebrate predators. Their common name refers to their method of capturing prey using a folded, anterior raptorial appendage that looks superficially like the foreleg of a praying mantis.

  • Guide to Crustacea
    38 Guide to Crustacea. This is a very large and varied group, comprising numerous families which are grouped under six Sub-orders. In the Sub-order ASELLOTA the uropods are slender ; the basal segments of the legs are not coalesced with the body as in most other Isopoda ; the first pair of abdominal limbs are generally fused, in the female, to form an operculum, or cover for the remaining pairs. This group includes Asellus aquaticus, which is FIG. 23. Bathynomus giganteus, about one-half natural size. (From Lankester's "Treatise on Zoology," after Milne-Edwards and Bouvier.) [Table-case No. 6.] common everywhere in ponds and ditches in this country, and a very large number of marine species, mostly of small size. The Sub-order PHKEATOICIDEA includes a small number of very peculiar species found in fresh water in Australia and New Zealand. In these the body is flattened from side to side, and Peraca rida—Isopoda. 39 the animals in other respects have a superficial resemblance to Amphipoda. In the Sub-order FLABELLIFERA the terminal limbs of the abdomen (uropods) are spread out in a fan-like manner on each side of the telson. Many species of this group, belonging to the family Cymothoidae, are blood-sucking parasites of fish, and some of them are remarkable for being hermaphrodite (like the Cirri- pedia), each animal being at first a male and afterwards a female. Mo' of these parasites are found adhering to the surface of the body, behind the fins or under the gill-covers of the fish. A few, however, become internal parasites like the Artystone trysibia exhibited in this case, which has burrowed into the body of a Brazilian freshwater fish.

  • Biochemical Divergence Between Cavernicolous and Marine
    The position of crustaceans within Arthropoda - Evidence from nine molecular loci and morphology GONZALO GIRIBET', STEFAN RICHTER2, GREGORY D. EDGECOMBE3 & WARD C. WHEELER4 Department of Organismic and Evolutionary- Biology, Museum of Comparative Zoology; Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S.A. ' Friedrich-Schiller-UniversitdtJena, Instituifiir Spezielte Zoologie und Evolutionsbiologie, Jena, Germany 3Australian Museum, Sydney, NSW, Australia Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, New York, U.S.A. ABSTRACT The monophyly of Crustacea, relationships of crustaceans to other arthropods, and internal phylogeny of Crustacea are appraised via parsimony analysis in a total evidence frame­ work. Data include sequences from three nuclear ribosomal genes, four nuclear coding genes, and two mitochondrial genes, together with 352 characters from external morphol­ ogy, internal anatomy, development, and mitochondrial gene order. Subjecting the com­ bined data set to 20 different parameter sets for variable gap and transversion costs, crusta­ ceans group with hexapods in Tetraconata across nearly all explored parameter space, and are members of a monophyletic Mandibulata across much of the parameter space. Crustacea is non-monophyletic at low indel costs, but monophyly is favored at higher indel costs, at which morphology exerts a greater influence. The most stable higher-level crusta­ cean groupings are Malacostraca, Branchiopoda, Branchiura + Pentastomida, and an ostracod-cirripede group. For combined data, the Thoracopoda and Maxillopoda concepts are unsupported, and Entomostraca is only retrieved under parameter sets of low congruence. Most of the current disagreement over deep divisions in Arthropoda (e.g., Mandibulata versus Paradoxopoda or Cormogonida versus Chelicerata) can be viewed as uncertainty regarding the position of the root in the arthropod cladogram rather than as fundamental topological disagreement as supported in earlier studies (e.g., Schizoramia versus Mandibulata or Atelocerata versus Tetraconata).

Received 7/12/84, in revised form 21/10/85, accepted 5/11/85, ABSTRACT Recent studies on the calanoid copepods of the northern Indian Ocean show that about 183 species occur frequently in the epipelagic realm. Fifteen more epipelagic species reported from this region occur only rarely. Another 45 species have been recorded which appear to be deep-water forms sporadically migrating to the upper layer and encountered there in low numbers. 40 species are fairly ubiquitous; many of them are often dominant components of the copepod community. The present study shows more homogeneity between the Indian and Pacifie fauna than between those of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. Distributions, abundances and zoogeography of various calanoid species are discussed. Species assemblages are more or Jess homogeneous and the major zonation is the estuarine-neritic-oceanic ranges of the component species. Variations in the structure and niches of calanoid communities in oligotrophic and eutrophie waters are discussed, Oceanol.

SCHWEITZER Research Associate, Section of Invertebrate Paleontology; Department of Geology, Kent State University Stark Campus, Canton, OH 44720 ([email protected]) ABSTRACT Five previously undescribed decapod taxa have been collected from lower upper Miocene rocks of the Puerto Madryn Formation, Peninsula Valdes region, Chubut Province, Patagonia, Argentina. New species include Osachila valdesensis, Rochinia boschii, Romaleon parspinosus, Panopeus piramidensis, and Ocypode vericoncava. Chaceon peruvianus and Proterocarcinus latus are also reported from the unit, in addition to two indeterminate xanthoid species. Assignment of fossil taxa to genera within the Panopeidae Ortmann, 1893, is difficult due to the marked similarity in dorsal carapace characters among several genera. Panopeus whittenensis Glaessner, 1980, is herein referred to Pakicarcinus Schweitzer et al., 2004. The Puerto Madryn Formation exposed near Puerto Piramide contains three distinct Facies Associations (1-3), each associated with specific paleoecological and paleoenvironmental conditions, and which recur throughout the section and represent trangressive systems tract (TST) deposits and highstand systems tract (HST) deposits. Within Facies Association 1, near the base of the section at Puerto Piramide, three paleosurfaces containing invertebrate fossils in life position are exposed and have been carefully mapped in plan view.

Monthly samples were collected with 0.1 mm mesh closing nets hauled vertically through five con tiguous discrete depths between the surface and ~2000 m. D. pseudodiscophora occurred predomi nantly from the base of the thermocline to a depth of 500 m. O. haddoni and M. skogsbergi occurred somewhat deeper at depths of 250 to 1000 m, but were also moderately abundant below 1000 m. Sampling was undertaken both by day and by night during December 1996, April and October 1997 to assess diel vertical migration activity, but revealed no appreciable day/night differences in the ver tical distributions of the ostracods. All the instars sampled [instars II through VIII (adults) of D. pseu dodiscophora and O. haddoni, and instars III through VIII (adults) of M. skogsbergi] were collected throughout the entire period of the study. All three species showed evidence of ontogenetic vertical migration—the ranges of these migrations being from 300-1000 m in D.
