Bioluminescence of the Poecilostomatoid Copepod Oncaea Conifera

Birmingham B15 2TT, United Kingdom Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, 5600 Old Dixie Highway, Fort Pierce, Florida 34946, USA ABSTRACT: The small poecilostomatoid copepod Oncaea conifera Giesbrecht bears a large number of epidermal luminous glands, distributed primarily over the dorsal cephalosome and urosome. Bio- luminescence is produced in the form of short (80 to 200 ms duration) flashes from withrn each gland and there IS no visible secretory component. Nevertheless each gland opens to the exterior by a simple valved pore. Intact copepods can produce several hundred flashes before the luminescent system is exhausted. Individual flashes had a maximum measured flux of 7.5 X 10" quanta s ', and the flash rate follows the stimulus frequency up to 30 S" Video observations show that ind~vidualglands flash repeatedly and the flash propagates along their length. The gland gross morphology is highly variable although each gland appears to be unicellular. The cytoplasm contains an extensive endoplasmic reticulum. 0. conifera swims at Reynolds numbers of 10 to 50, and is normally associated with surfaces (e.g. marine snow). We suggest that the unique anatomical and physiological characteristics of the luminescent system arc related to the specialised ecological niche occupied by this species. -

Rochester Institute of Technology, Department of Biology, Rochester, New York 14623, U.S.A. Machines used in diagnostic radiology and cardiology have application to crus- tacean organ systems. Gribble & Reynolds (1993), and Gribble (1994) demon- strated the use of angiography to describe cardiovascular function in a crab. In January 1994, I made preliminary ultrasound scans of a live crayfish. Although sagittal and transverse series of images produced little resolution of internal or- gans, movements of the heart and scaphognathites were easily detected. This paper reveals the ability to monitor the activities of these organs in brachyuran crabs. -
Molecular Systematics of Freshwater Diaptomid Species of the Genus Neodiaptomus from Andaman Islands, India

Based on morphological taxonomic key characters 48 diaptomid species belonging to 13 genera were reported from India. Taxonomic discrimination of many species of these genera is difficult due to their high morphological similarities and minute differences in key characters. In the present study two species of the genus, Neodiaptomus, N. meggiti and N. schmackeri from Andaman Islands were examined based on morphological and molecular characters which showed low variation in morphology and differences in their distributions. The morphological taxonomy of Copepoda with genetic analysis has shown complementing values in understanding the genetic variation and phylogeny of the contemporary populations. In this study, a molecular phylogenetic analysis of N. meggiti and N. schmackeri is performed on the basis of mitochondrial Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. The mtDNA COI sequence of N. meggiti and N. -
Stanley I. Dodson Complete List of Publications
Announcements Resolution of Respect Stanley Ivan Dodson 1944–2009 Stanley was born on 26 July 1944 in Lincoln, Illinois to Ivan Frank Dodson and Dorothy Wanda Dodson. When he was 10 years old his family moved to Grand Junction, Colorado where his father had an opportunity to prospect for uranium. It was there that Stanley learned his love of the West, deserts, mountains, and ponds. After graduating from Grand Junction High School in 1962, Stanley attended Yale University and obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in 1966, conducting research with John Brooks for his undergraduate Honors Thesis. While at Yale he met Virginia Elizabeth Joseph, and they married on 16 January 1967. Stanley and Ginny enrolled in doctoral programs with Tommy Edmondson at the University of Washington, where Stanley received his Doctorate in Zoology in 1970. He spent his entire professional career on the faculty in Zoology at the University of Wisconsin in Madison from 1970 until his retirement in 2008. Stanley’s life was cut short on 23 August 2009 when he died of injuries sustained in an accident while bicycling at the Colorado National Monument near Grand Junction. He is survived by his wife, Ginny, his daughter, Sarah Emily Dodson Wilson, his son-in-law, Ian David Sobaczewski Wilson, his grandchildren, Kate Lorraine Wilson and Henry August Wilson, his mother, and his sisters Dian April Dunn (Frank) and Sarah Annette Martin. He was predeceased by his father. Contributions to ecological science Stanley Dodson made many important contributions to aquatic ecology and to ecological science in general. He began his distinguished research career working with John Brooks during his second year as an undergraduate at Yale. -

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. -

The Dumre plateau, in Central Albania, is characterized by an extraordinary high number of karst lakes in a small geographic area. Despite their environmental peculiarity, very few biological data are to date available for these lakes, none on the zooplankton. For this reason, 15 water bodies located in the central area of the plateau were selected for a preliminary limnological survey carried out in the years 2008-2011. Neodiaptomus schmackeri (Poppe & Richard, 1892), a diaptomid calanoid copepod characterized by a South-Eastern Palearctic - Oriental distribution, and the most widely spread Neodiaptomus species in Asia, was found in 8 lakes of the Dumre area. This finding represents the first record of the species, and of the entire genus Neodiaptomusonly, for Europe. Several environ- mental variables were measured to characterize the lakes, and the co-occurring planktonic crustaceans were also identified. Taxonomical drawings and descriptions of the main morphological features of both sexes are herein provided in order to compare the Albanian po- pulations of N.
