PENCE,2-4 MARTIN I. NELSON,3 AND ROBERT J. WARREN3 1 Department of Range and Wildlife Management, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas 79409, 2 Department of Pathology, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, Texas 79430, and 3 School of Forest Resources, The University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602 ABSTRACT: Long-nosed armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) (N = 117) from Cumberland Island, Georgia were infected with encysted cystacanths of Macracanthorhynchus ingens and Centrorhynchus sp. and larvae ofPhysa- loptera sp. Ninety-five, 56, and <3% of the hosts had 1, 2, and 3 species of helminths, respectively. The frequency distribution pattern of each helminth species was aggregated; overdispersion was homogeneous across host sex and season variables. Abundances of all helminth species collectively, and Physaloptera sp. individually, were significantly greater in the warm versus cool seasons. As a corollary to Brown's (1984) theory, we propose that a host population at the periphery of its geographic range may have fewer species and lower abundances of helminths and/or lack a defined helminth community when compared to a conspecific population at the host's epicenter of origin. This may partially explain why a community of species of adult helminths has not developed in the recently colonized population of armadillos on Cumberland Island. Other reasons for this vacant niche may include (1) the unique physiology of armadillos may preclude them as a suitable definitive host for helminths already on the island; (2) there are no other related hosts on the island with a community of helminth species that could infect the armadillo; and (3) the founders of this armadillo population were not infected prior to colonizing the island. KEY WORDS: Brown's theory, Dasypus novemcinctus, geographic barrier, helminth community ecology, hel- minth survey, host colonization, insular host population, long-nosed armadillo, range periphery, physiological barrier, unsuitable host, vacant niche. The range of the long-nosed armadillo (Das- the long-nosed armadillo recently has colonized ypus novemcinctus Linnaeus) extends from the a large area in the southeastern United Slates, southern United States through Mexico and Cen- the few helminth surveys indicate that the in- tral America into South America as far south as vading population has only a fraction of the hel- Uruguay (McBee and Baker, 1982).

  • Larval Development of Scyra Acutifrons (Crustacea: Decapoda: Epialtidae)
    Animal Cells and Systems Vol. 14, No. 4, December 2010, 333Á341 Larval development of Scyra acutifrons (Crustacea: Decapoda: Epialtidae) with a key from the northern Pacific Seong Mi Oh and Hyun Sook Ko* Department of Biological Science, Silla University, Busan 617-736, Korea (Received 23 June 2010; received in revised form 28 July 2010; accepted 2 August 2010) The larvae of Scyra acutifrons are described and illustrated for the first time. The larval stage consists of two zoeal and a megalopal stages. The zoea of S. acutifrons is compared with those of other known species of the Epialtidae from the northern Pacific. The zoea of Scyra acutifrons can be easily distinguished from that of S. compressipes by having a longer rostral carapace spine and an endopod of maxillule with three setae. It is found that the genus Scyra (Pisinae) shows a great similarity to Pisoides bidentatus (Pisinae) and the genus Pugettia (Epialtinae) in the family Epialtidae; especially, S. acutidens coincides well with two Pugettia species (Pugettia incisa and P. gracilis) in the characteristics of the zoeal mouthpart appendages. To facilitate the study of plankton-collected material, a provisional key to the known zoeae of the Epialtidae from the northern Pacific is provided.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF BENTHIC MOLLUSCS ALONG A DEPTH GRADIENT IN THE BAHAMAS Michael Joseph Dowgiallo, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Marjorie L. Reaka-Kudla Department of Biology, UMCP Species richness and abundance of benthic bivalve and gastropod molluscs was determined over a depth gradient of 5 - 244 m at Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas by deploying replicate benthic collectors at five sites at 5 m, 14 m, 46 m, 153 m, and 244 m for six months beginning in December 1993. A total of 773 individual molluscs comprising at least 72 taxa were retrieved from the collectors. Analysis of the molluscan fauna that colonized the collectors showed overwhelmingly higher abundance and diversity at the 5 m, 14 m, and 46 m sites as compared to the deeper sites at 153 m and 244 m. Irradiance, temperature, and habitat heterogeneity all declined with depth, coincident with declines in the abundance and diversity of the molluscs. Herbivorous modes of feeding predominated (52%) and carnivorous modes of feeding were common (44%) over the range of depths studied at Lee Stocking Island, but mode of feeding did not change significantly over depth. One bivalve and one gastropod species showed a significant decline in body size with increasing depth. Analysis of data for 960 species of gastropod molluscs from the Western Atlantic Gastropod Database of the Academy of Natural Sciences (ANS) that have ranges including the Bahamas showed a positive correlation between body size of species of gastropods and their geographic ranges. There was also a positive correlation between depth range and the size of the geographic range.
