Published online at www.arthropod-systematics.de on 17.vi.2009. > Abstract The mantis shrimps (Stomatopoda) are quintessential marine predators. The combination of powerful raptorial appendages and remarkably developed sensory systems place the stomatopods among the most effi cient invertebrate predators. High level phylogenetic analyses have been so far based on morphology. Crown-group Unipeltata appear to have diverged in two broad directions from the outset – one towards highly effi cient ‘spearing’ with multispinous dactyli on the raptorial claws (dominated by Lysiosquilloidea and Squilloidea), and the other towards ‘smashing’ (Gonodactyloidea). In a preliminary molecular study of stomatopod interrelationships, we assemble molecular data for mitochondrial 12S and 16S regions, combined with new sequences from the 16S and two regions of the nuclear 28S rDNA to compare with morphological hypotheses. Nineteen species representing 9 of 17 extant families and 3 of 7 superfamilies were analysed. The molecular data refl ect the overall patterns derived from morphology, especially in a monophyletic Squilloidea, a monophyletic Lysiosquilloidea and a monophyletic clade of gonodactyloid smashers. Molecular analyses, however, suggest the novel possibility that Hemisquillidae and possibly Pseudosquillidae, rather than being basal or near basal in Gonodactyloidea, may be basal overall to the extant stomatopods.

The organization of stomatopod retinas is well studied, but their optic lobes are less understood. We used histological staining, immunolabeling, and fluorescent tracer injections to compare optic lobes in two 6-midband-row species, Neogonodactylus oerstedii and Pseudosquilla ciliata , to those in two 2-midband-row species, Squilla empusa and Alima pacifica . Compared to the 6-row species, we found structural simplification in all optic neuropils in both 2-row species. Photoreceptor axons from 2- row midband ommatidia supply two sets of enlarged lamina cartridges, but a gap in the lamina exists at the location where the cartridges of the dorsal four ommatidial rows of 6-row species would appear.

  • Haptosquilla Trispinosa and Pseudosquilla Ciliata Kristen Chen
    Kristen Chen Food Conditional Shape Learning in Two Stomatopod Species Spring 2014 Simple Shape Learning of the Two Stomatopod species: Haptosquilla trispinosa and Pseudosquilla ciliata Kristen Chen ABSTRACT Current climate conditions and anthropogenic activities have resulted in coral cover homogenization, reef structural complexity simplifications, prey item decline. Recognizing changes in shape, especially in a visually-dominant organism, can assist in dealing with these reef structure changes and prey availability loss. I examined the ability of two stomatopod species: Haptosquilla trispinosa and Pseudosquilla ciliata to learn to distinguish between a circle and a square, using simple food conditioning techniques for 30 days and 15 days, respectively, including a priming period of 10 days per group. There were two H. trispinosa groups, one conditioned to the circle, one the square and one P. ciliata group conditioned to the circle. Each group had four individuals. H. trispinosa’s total number of responses decreased over time, with an increase in correct responses and decrease in incorrect responses. This trend indicates the presence of shape discrimination learning as well as test learning. H. trispinosa conditioned to the squares were extremely unresponsive leading to unusable data. P. ciliata had a higher percentage of correct responses across all time blocks in comparison to H. trispinosa explained by predator tactics. P. ciliata are spearers, ambush predators that rely on quick information intake to surprise prey, while H. trispinosa are smashers, foraging predators that depend on repetitive impacting motions to stun/ kill prey. More behavioral studies need to be conducted to assess the stomatopod’s ability to cope with current environmental conditions, but there is clear visual discriminatory learning capability in this organism that can assist in flexible adaptations.

  • World Catalogue and Bibliography of the Recent Stomatopoda
    WORLD CATALOGUE AND BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE RECENT STOMATOPODA compiled and distributed by Hans-Georg Müller Wissenschaftler Verlag, Laboratory for Tropical Ecosystems Research & Information Service P.O. Box 2268 D-35532 Wetzlar, Germany Stomatopod crustaceans are common members of benthic ecosystems in tropical and subtropical marine and brackish waters throughout the world. Few species are known from temperate seas. In the northern hemisphere some species were reported in Japan as far north as Hokkaido, and in the U.S.A. as far north as Massachusetts. In the eastern Atlantic area the northern limit is the sea around Ireland. The southern limits of their distribution are the south coasts of Australia and South Africa. Larval development occurs in the plankton. Stomatopods are raptorial predators, which construct burrows in level bottoms, or live in crevices and holes of hard substrates. The present compilation gives detailed information to all the 412 species known up to now. The reality: Taxonomy is a confusing subject, especially when somebody is not a taxonomic spezialist for the respective animal group and only attempts to determine species within the scope of a non-taxonomic study. New species and subspecies are described, others are synonymized, or subspecies/varieties are raised to species level. Moreover, as a matter of fact, taxonomists often have different oppinions to assign a species to a certain genus, with the result, that often different names are given for the same species. Descriptions are sometimes to poor to allow a reliable determination. Fortunately, several revisions, reviews and redescriptions are available for the Stomatopoda, though numerous short publications are scattered over many journals.

N. Patek1,*, M. V. Rosario1 and J. R. A. Taylor2 1Department of Biology, Organismic and Evolutionary Graduate Program, University of Massachusetts Amherst, MA 01003, USA and 2Department of Biology, Indiana University-Purdue University, Fort Wayne, IN 46805-1499, USA *Author for correspondence ([email protected]) SUMMARY Elastic mechanisms are fundamental to fast and efficient movements. Mantis shrimp power their fast raptorial appendages using a conserved network of exoskeletal springs, linkages and latches. Their appendages are fantastically diverse, ranging from spears to hammers. We measured the spring mechanics of 12 mantis shrimp species from five different families exhibiting hammer- shaped, spear-shaped and undifferentiated appendages. Across species, spring force and work increase with size of the appendage and spring constant is not correlated with size. Species that hammer their prey exhibit significantly greater spring resilience compared with species that impale evasive prey (ʻspearersʼ); mixed statistical results show that species that hammer prey also produce greater work relative to size during spring loading compared with spearers. Disabling part of the spring mechanism, the ʻsaddleʼ, significantly decreases spring force and work in three smasher species; cross-species analyses show a greater effect of cutting the saddle on the spring force and spring constant in species without hammers compared with species with hammers. Overall, the study shows a more potent spring mechanism in the faster and more powerful hammering species compared with spearing species while also highlighting the challenges of reconciling within-species and cross-species mechanical analyses when different processes may be acting at these two different levels of analysis.

    A PICTORIAL KEY AND ANNOTATED SPECI ES LIST OF THE MANTIS SHRIMPS OF THE INDIAN RIVER REGION OF FLORIDA (CRUSTACEA, STOMATOPODA) l by Linda J. Be cker 1976 HARBOR BRANCH FOUNDATION, INC. TECHNICAL REPORT NO. 9 lunpublished manuscript - all rights reserved INTRODUCTION The mantis shrimps (Crustacea: Stomatopoda) are a small but important part of the invertebrate assemblage in the Indian River and offshore areas. The morphology of this group of crustaceans is quite unusual: laymen con­ sider them as "lobster-like" or "shrimp-like". Their common name of mantis shrimps alludes to the resemblance of the raptorial claws to those of the praying mantis, an insect. Because the raptorial claw can inflict a painful wound when an individual is aggravated, stomatopods are usually treated with much care. Thus, another common name, thumbsplitter is amply descriptive in this respect. Although of no commercial value in the United States, some species are known to be edible (i.e., Lysiosquilla scabricauda) or are used as bait for fishing. Scientifically, mantis shrimp biology has been studied little and the taxonomy is "still at the alpha, or descriptive, level" (Manning, 1969:1) . This report is designed to assist participants of the Indian River Coastal Zone Study and other interested persons in the identification of stomatopods that may be collected on the central eastern Florida coast. The report is basic in that it was written so that non-crustacean or non­ invertebrate specialists could use it with relative ease. The species listed are those which have been collected so far within the latitudinal boundaries of the Indian River lagoon from Jupiter Inlet to Ponce de Leon Inlet and from the adjacent offshore continental shelf (to depths of 400m).
