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.

  • Benthic Invertebrate Community Monitoring and Indicator Development for Barnegat Bay-Little Egg Harbor Estuary

Taghon, Rutgers University, Project Manager [email protected] Judith P. Grassle, Rutgers University, Co-Manager [email protected] Charlotte M.

Benthic macroinvertebrates are commonly included in studies to monitor the effects of human and natural stresses on marine and estuarine ecosystems. There are several reasons for this. Macroinvertebrates (here defined as animals retained on a 0.5-mm mesh sieve) are abundant in most coastal and estuarine sediments, typically on the order of 103 to 104 per meter squared. Benthic communities are typically composed of many taxa from different phyla, and quantitative measures of community diversity (e.g., Rosenberg et al. 2004) and the relative abundance of animals with different feeding behaviors (e.g., Weisberg et al. 1997, Pelletier et al. 2010), can be used to evaluate ecosystem health. Because most benthic invertebrates are sedentary as adults, they function as integrators, over periods of months to years, of the properties of their environment.

  • ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY in the HEMOLYMPH of the MARINE ISOPOD PENTIDOTEA RESECATA by Leah E. Dann a THESIS Submitted to WALLA WALL
    ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY IN THE HEMOLYMPH OF THE MARINE ISOPOD PENTIDOTEA RESECATA By Leah E. Dann A THESIS submitted to WALLA WALLA UNIVERSITY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE April 26, 2017 ABSTRACT The isopod Pentidotea resecata inhabits Zostera marina eelgrass beds. Examination of oxygen levels in a Z. marina bed indicated that P. resecata frequently experience hyperoxia and potential hypoxia reperfusion events in these beds, which may lead to enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and increased oxidative damage if the antioxidant defenses cannot sufficiently suppress these toxic oxygen intermediates. The total antioxidant capacity of P. resecata hemolymph was compared to that of Ligia pallasii, a semi-terrestrial isopod living in normoxic conditions, and to that of Pandalus danae, a shrimp that lives below the photic zone. The hypothesis was that P. resecata hemolymph would have stronger antioxidant defenses than the other crustaceans because this isopod faces a more hostile oxygen environment. LCMS analysis of P. resecata hemolymph confirmed the presence of antioxidants including pheophorbide a, lutein, and β-carotene, while L. pallasii hemolymph contained pheophorbide a and lutein but no β-carotene. Pandalus danae hemolymph had no carotenoids or pheophorbide. Although L. pallasii hemolymph was missing β-carotene, it had a significantly higher total antioxidant capacity than that of P. resecata. Hemolymph from P. danae had an intermediate antioxidant capacity even though it contained none of the antioxidants detected in the other species. The unexpected antioxidant activities among the species could be explained by differences in metabolic functions or environmental factors that were not examined in this study; or perhaps P.

  • Are Marine Isopods Picking Favorites with Colors? the Role of Color Sensing in Food Preference in Pentidotea Wosnesenskii
    Are marine isopods picking favorites with colors? The role of color sensing in food preference in Pentidotea wosnesenskii Aurora Nelson1,2 Friday Harbor Labs FHL 470 A Research in Marine Biology Spring 2021 1 Friday Harbor Laboratories, University of Washington, Friday Harbor, WA 98250 2 Department of Marine Biology, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195 Contact information: Aurora Nelson [email protected] Keywords: marine isopod, Pentidotea wosnesenskii, color sensing, chromatophores Nelson 1 Abstract The marine isopod Pentidotea wosnesenskii is one of many species that can change its color throughout its life. The variety of colors it can take on allows it to match the species of algae it lives on and consumes. While this isopod can change its color when moved to a new substrate, this requires it to build a new cuticle and molt, a process that takes weeks. It seems likely that it would be more efficient for an isopod to seek out algae that it is already matched to. This species is highly likely to have color sensing abilities as a way of adjusting their chromatophores, so they may use those abilities to search for a substrate that they can match. I placed isopods in containers where they had access to three different colors of algae. I hypothesized that adult isopods would show a preference for algae that was similar in color to their cuticles. However, the results of this study do not suggest that isopods use color sensing to move to matching backgrounds. Instead, they may be choosing substrates based on its quality as a food source or how well they can attach themselves to it.
