The Natural History of the Antarctic Limpet Patinigera Polaris (Hombron Andjacquinot) AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Stephen Vale Shabica for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Oceanography presented on 22 July 1976 Title: The Natural History of the Antarctic Limpet Patinigera Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: I Professor Patinigera polaris is tie only large invertebrate commonly found in the littoral zone of Arthur Harbor, Anvers Island, Antarctica. From January 1970 through March 1971 the general ecology and physio- logical ecology of this large patellid limpet was studied. Patinigera polaris is found in the littoral zone at Palmer Station throughout the year during both high and low tides. The largest live limpet collected was slightly over 58 mm in length. The largest limpet shell found in the Arthur Harbor vicinity was 61 mm in length. Its population density is lower during the austral winter than during the austra]. summer. Patinigera polaris responds to the tide by moving with it up and down the littoral zone. By moving into crevices and cracks in the granitic littoral zone, P. polaris may be protected from thermal stress and the crushing effects of sea-borne ice. Littoral and upper-sublittoral limpets in exposed situations have thicker, more robust shells than do sublittoral limpets.The morphological variations in the shell of P. polaris may be due to the selective pressures of ice. The development of the thick shells appears to be in response to the environment in which the animal occurs rather than a strictly inherited trait. Respiration rates I or ni era polaris arehigh. For the median size class (21-35 mm) an oxygen consumption rate of22.2 l O/hr/g was determined. Patinigera polaris is a non-selective herbivore. Major predators of P. polaris include the Dominican Gull Larusdominicanus, and the Sheath Bill, Chionis alba, the asteroids Diplasteriasbrucel, Odontaster validus, and Perkuaster sp., and toa less extent, the fish Notothenia coriiceps, the echinoid Sterechinusneumayeri, and the pycnogcnids Colossendeis robusta, C. megalonyx andPentanymphon sp. Larus dominicanus appears to take the greatest numbersof limpets of all the identifiedpredators. Patinigera polaris exhibits a positive phototacticresponse which is augmented by very low water pressure gradientsor currents. The chemical oceanographic conditions of both littoralrock poois and surface water of Arthur Harbor showed very markedseasonal vari- ation in dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, and salinity. These variations are related to intense seasonal primaryproduction, ices and fresh waterrun off The tides in Arthur Harborare of the mixed, dominant semi- diurnal type. The mean tide level is +0.73m above mean lower low water, The maximum range observed during 1970 was 1.89m. The minimum range of 0.02 m. The principal tidal harmonicconstants were determined for ArthurHarbor. During the austral winter, shore ice forms protectivebarriers between the fauna and flora of littoral rock pools andthe low air temperatures and crushing forces ofsea and swell transported ice. Littoral rock pools which occur below this ice foot are oftenlinked to the subtidal by ice-free corridors. These corridors allow fresh sea water to circulate in the poolson the return of the tide. Estimates of growth rates andabsolute growth were made by marking and releasing over 600 limpets from different depths.After almost a year, 31% were recaptured and remeasured. Up to a length of approxi- mately 25 mm, growth rates are relatively high (2-5 mmper year) and approximately linear. For larger individuals therate of growth declines sharply up to a length ofabout 38 mm. Individuals above 38 mm exhibited changes in length which were generally less thanthe accuracy of the vernier calipers. It is suggested that Patinigera polaris can live to be inexcess of 60 years old, Linpets 60 mm in length may be older than 100years. Reproductive maturity occurs atan age of four years and there is no upper age or size limiton fecundity. The parental stock of Patinigerapolaris is probably the southern South American limpet Nacellamytilina which has been found in deposits of the Eocene Age. The break-up of Gondawanalandin the vicinity of South America andAntarctica during the Late Cretaceous- Early Tertiary, and consequent interruption of gene flow ledto the separation of the N. j4jna population along theScotia Ridge region. Selection for species tolerantto the Antarctic environment probably contributed to the evolutionof Patinigera polaris. The most striking aspect, not onlyof the life history of Patinigera polaris, but also of its ecologyand physiology, is that this limpet is not greatly differentfrom limpet species inhabiting warmer climates. Patinigera polaris differs from those species intwo major aspects: its extremely slow growth rate and itsextended ion- gevity. The range of this species' tolerance to a variety ofthermal and osmotic stresses is similar to that of otherlimpet species throughout the world. The life history features of P. polarissuggest that it is a K-strategist associated with densitydependent population regulation.

Baker2 1Department of Biology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama 35294, USA 2Department of Chemistry, University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida 33620, USA ABSTRACT: The importance of intraspecific social behaviors in mediating foraging behaviors of marine invertebrate keystone predators has received little attention. In laboratory investigations employing time-lapse video, we observed that the keystone Antarctic sea star Odontaster validus dis- plays frequent agonistic arm-fencing bouts with conspecifics when near prey (injured sea urchin). Arm-fencing bouts consisted of 2 individuals elevating the distal portion of an arm until positioned arm tip to arm tip. This was followed by intermittent or continuous arm to arm contact, carried out in attempts to place an arm onto the aboral (upper) surface of the opponent. Fifteen (79%) of the 19 bouts observed occurred near prey (mean ± 1 SE, 13 ± 1.6 cm distance to prey; n = 13). These bouts lasted 21.05 ± 2.53 min (n = 15). In all 5 bouts that involved a large individual (radius, R: distance from the tip of an arm to the center of the oral disk; 45 to 53 mm) competing with either a medium (R = 35 to 42 mm) or small (R = 25 to 32 mm) individual, the large sea star prevailed. The only exception occurred in 2 instances where a medium-sized sea star had settled onto prey and was subsequently challenged by a larger individual.

Peters1,*, Charles D. Amsler1, James B. McClintock1, Rob W. M. van Soest2, Bill J. Baker3 1Department of Biology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 1300 University Blvd., Birmingham, Alabama 35294-1170, USA 2Zoological Museum of the University of Amsterdam, PO Box 94766, 1090 GT Amsterdam, The Netherlands 3Department of Chemistry, University of South Florida, 4202 East Fowler Ave., Tampa, Florida 33620-5240, USA ABSTRACT: The present study surveyed the palatability of all sponge species that could be collected in sufficient quantities in a shallow-water area along the western Antarctic Peninsula. Of 27 species assayed, 78% had outermost tissues that were significantly unpalatable to the sympatric, omnivorous sea star Odontaster validus. Of those species with unpalatable outer tissues, 62% had inner tissues that were also unpalatable to the sea stars. Sea stars have often been considered as the primary predators of sponges in other regions of Antarctica, and their extra-oral mode of feeding threatens only the outermost sponge tissues. The observation that many of the sponges allocate defenses to inner tissues suggests the possibility that biting predators such as mesograzers, which could access inner sponge layers, may also be important in communities along the Antarctic Peninsula. In feeding bioassays with extracts from 12 of the unpalatable species in artificial foods, either lipophilic or hydrophilic extracts were deterrent in each species. These data indicate an overall level of chemical defenses in these Antarctic sponges that is comparable to, and slightly greater than, that found in a previous survey of tropical species.

The Rock Concert Experience: The Self-Authentication Process and Wellbeing A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Management Studies at The University of Waikato by Daniel Hopper 2014 Abstract The purpose of this research was to understand consumers’ experiences at rock concerts. Growth in the live concert industry over the past 20 years suggests that these experiences provide value that consumers cannot attain through other means. Music fans can stream rock music or watch concerts without cost, while concert tickets are often over $100 each. Marketers need to understand more about the value derived from the live rock concert experience. The researcher gathered data over a period of six months in 2013, utilising three data collection methods: 1) in-depth interviews with eight participants; 2) observation of nine rock concerts; and 3) analysis of responses to concert reviews on news website Stuff.co.nz.

  • Commercial Radio Reaches 3.3 Million New Zealanders. Total NZ Survey 1 2020
    EMBARGOED UNTIL 1PM (NZST) THURS APR 23 2020 Commercial Radio Reaches 3.3 Million New Zealanders. Total NZ Survey 1 2020 The New Zealand Commercial Radio Industry released the S1 first quarter Radio Audience Data into the market today and it reveals that over 3.6 million New Zealanders were listening to radio every week as the country went into lockdown and over 3.3 million of those listen to commercial radio stations. The GfK Radio Audience Measurement survey contacts at least 14,000 respondents across New Zealand every year. The fieldwork for this survey ceased in late March just before the lockdown was announced. RBA CEO Jana Rangooni says “This is an unprecedented situation for the country and the Industry agreed at this time to suspend all fieldwork until at least late June. This means there will be no S2 Release as originally scheduled for June 25th. We hope to make a decision about options for the remainder of the year by the end of May.” NZME CEO Michael Boggs says Radio’s incredible value to New Zealanders has been reinforced in recent weeks, as it invariably does in times of crisis and uncertainty. “Radio, like all media has been focused on supporting our audiences through this period. Whether it be supporting the Government as a Civil Defence Emergency broadcast partner, delivering round the clock local, national and international news coverage or by keeping New Zealanders entertained and connected, Radio is delivering for audiences as it always does in times like these.” MediaWorks CEO Michael Anderson says that it's clear that New Zealanders are turning to Radio as a trusted source for news and entertainment especially through breaking events like Covid-19.
