Histochemical characteristics of macrophages of butterfly splitfin Ameca splendens. Folia Biologica (Kraków) 67: 53-60. The butterfly splitfin (Ameca splendens) is a fish species that belongs to the Goodeidae family. The biology of this species, which is today at risk of extinction in its natural habitats, has not been fully explored. The objective of the present study was to characterize melanomacrophages (MMs) and the melanomacrophage centers (MMCs) that they form, associated with the immunological system of butterfly splitfin. Butterfly splitfin is a potential new model species with a placenta for scientific research. In addition, knowledge about the location and characteristics of MMCs will allow the effective development of a conservation strategy for this species and monitoring of the natural environment. The results of histological analyses show that the immune system of fish aged 1 dph was completely developed. Single MMs were observed in hepatic sinusoids and in head kidney and their agglomerations were noticed in the exocrine pancreas and in the spleen. Hemosiderin was detected in single MMs in the head kidney of fish aged 1 dph, and in the spleen, exocrine pancreas and liver of older fish.

  • SEDIMENTARY FRAMEWORK of Lmainland FRINGING REEF DEVELOPMENT, CAPE TRIBULATION AREA
    GREAT BARRIER REEF MARINE PARK AUTHORITY TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM GBRMPA-TM-14 SEDIMENTARY FRAMEWORK OF lMAINLAND FRINGING REEF DEVELOPMENT, CAPE TRIBULATION AREA D.P. JOHNSON and RM.CARTER Department of Geology James Cook University of North Queensland Townsville, Q 4811, Australia DATE November, 1987 SUMMARY Mainland fringing reefs with a diverse coral fauna have developed in the Cape Tribulation area primarily upon coastal sedi- ment bodies such as beach shoals and creek mouth bars. Growth on steep rocky headlands is minor. The reefs have exten- sive sandy beaches to landward, and an irregular outer margin. Typically there is a raised platform of dead nef along the outer edge of the reef, and dead coral columns lie buried under the reef flat. Live coral growth is restricted to the outer reef slope. Seaward of the reefs is a narrow wedge of muddy, terrigenous sediment, which thins offshore. Beach, reef and inner shelf sediments all contain 50% terrigenous material, indicating the reefs have always grown under conditions of heavy terrigenous influx. The relatively shallow lower limit of coral growth (ca 6m below ADD) is typical of reef growth in turbid waters, where decreased light levels inhibit coral growth. Radiocarbon dating of material from surveyed sites confirms the age of the fossil coral columns as 33304110 ybp, indicating that they grew during the late postglacial sea-level high (ca 5500-6500 ybp). The former thriving reef-flat was killed by a post-5500 ybp sea-level fall of ca 1 m. Although this study has not assessed the community structure of the fringing reefs, nor whether changes are presently occur- ring, it is clear the corals present today on the fore-reef slope have always lived under heavy terrigenous influence, and that the fossil reef-flat can be explained as due to the mid-Holocene fall in sea-level.

Two species in this group—the European starling Sturnus vulgaris and the common Myna Acridotheres tristis—now occur on continents and islands around the world following human-mediated introductions, and the entire clade is generally notable for being highly social and dispersive, as most of its species breed colonially or move in large flocks as they track ephemeral insect or plant resources, and for associating with humans in urban or agricultural land- scapes. Our reconstructions were based on substantial mtDNA (4 kb) and nuclear intron (4 loci, 3 kb total) sequences from 16 species, augmented by mtDNA NDII gene sequences (1 kb) for the remaining 10 taxa for which DNAs were available only from museum skin samples.

  • Colors & Patterns in Nature
    California State Standards K-LS1-1 Lesson Plan: Grade Level: Kindergarten Colors & Patterns in Nature Background All animals have specific colors and patterns that help them survive in their environment. Fish use the color of their scales to become invisible to flying predators by reflecting the sun. Walking sticks mimic the twigs of trees to hide. Even predators like the cheetah have special patterns to help them survive. Goal In this lesson students will observe the animals of Safari West and explore how their patterns and colors can provide clues to what type of habitat they live in and how it helps them survive. We will also examine the patterns that predators use to make themselves invisible to their prey. Before Your Visit Activity 1: For a fun class project before visiting Safari West, have students make binoculars. This requires two toilet paper rolls, glue, yarn, and pens/crayons. Explain what binoculars are used for and how they help scientists get a closer look at animals. Note to educators: The binoculars help young students focus on individual animals or specific morphological features (as described in the Background above). Activity 2: You may also want to have students make their own notebooks with four pages of b lank white paper so they can draw the various patterns, stripes or spots they see on some of the animals while on safari. Materials to Ask your students bring the ‘”binoculars” and notebooks they made in Bring the classroom. If they did not make their own notebook, you may want to provide them with pre-made versions.
