  • Decapod Crustacean Grooming: Functional Morphology, Adaptive Value, and Phylogenetic Significance
    Decapod crustacean grooming: Functional morphology, adaptive value, and phylogenetic significance N RAYMOND T.BAUER Center for Crustacean Research, University of Southwestern Louisiana, USA ABSTRACT Grooming behavior is well developed in many decapod crustaceans. Antennular grooming by the third maxillipedes is found throughout the Decapoda. Gill cleaning mechanisms are qaite variable: chelipede brushes, setiferous epipods, epipod-setobranch systems. However, microstructure of gill cleaning setae, which are equipped with digitate scale setules, is quite conservative. General body grooming, performed by serrate setal brushes on chelipedes and/or posterior pereiopods, is best developed in decapods at a natant grade of body morphology. Brachyuran crabs exhibit less body grooming and virtually no specialized body grooming structures. It is hypothesized that the fouling pressures for body grooming are more severe in natant than in replant decapods. Epizoic fouling, particularly microbial fouling, and sediment fouling have been shown r I m ans of amputation experiments to produce severe effects on olfactory hairs, gills, and i.icubated embryos within short lime periods. Grooming has been strongly suggested as an important factor in the coevolution of a rhizocephalan parasite and its anomuran host. The behavioral organization of grooming is poorly studied; the nature of stimuli promoting grooming is not understood. Grooming characters may contribute to an understanding of certain aspects of decapod phylogeny. The occurrence of specialized antennal grooming brushes in the Stenopodidea, Caridea, and Dendrobranchiata is probably not due to convergence; alternative hypotheses are proposed to explain the distribution of this grooming character. Gill cleaning and general body grooming characters support a thalassinidean origin of the Anomura; the hypothesis of brachyuran monophyly is supported by the conservative and unique gill-cleaning method of the group.

It appeared simultaneously in both Mallorca and Menorca islands. Nine different records of 20 individuals were documented in six different localities, suggesting an initial colonization process of the territory.

(May 2008) Bradley Melton, B.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Philip Rabinowitz Extensional stresses caused Africa and South America to break up about 130 Million Years. When Africa rifted away from South America, a large onshore triple junction began at about 13° S and propagated northward. This triple junction failed and created the Reconcavo-Tucano-Jupato rift (R-T-J), located in northeastern Brazil (north of Salvador). The extensional stress that created this rift was caused by a change in the force acting on the plate during the Aptian. A series of offshore rifts also opened at this time, adjacent to the R-T-J rift; this series of basins are referred to as Jacuipe, Sergipe, and Alagoas (J-S-A). The basins are separated by bathymetric highs to the north and the south of the Sergipe-Alagoas basin.

    IN SEARCH OF THE AMAZON AMERICAN ENCOUNTERS/GLOBAL INTERACTIONS A series edited by Gilbert M. Joseph and Emily S. Rosenberg This series aims to stimulate critical perspectives and fresh interpretive frameworks for scholarship on the history of the imposing global pres- ence of the United States. Its primary concerns include the deployment and contestation of power, the construction and deconstruction of cul- tural and political borders, the fluid meanings of intercultural encoun- ters, and the complex interplay between the global and the local. American Encounters seeks to strengthen dialogue and collaboration between histo- rians of U.S. international relations and area studies specialists. The series encourages scholarship based on multiarchival historical research. At the same time, it supports a recognition of the represen- tational character of all stories about the past and promotes critical in- quiry into issues of subjectivity and narrative. In the process, American Encounters strives to understand the context in which meanings related to nations, cultures, and political economy are continually produced, chal- lenged, and reshaped.

SUSTAINABLE URBANISM IN COASTAL 49th ISOCARP Congress 2013 Sustainable Urbanism in Coastal Environment: an applied project to expanding urbanized zone of Aracaju City, Sergipe, Brazil. Sustainable Urbanism in Coastal Environment: an applied project to expanding urbanized of the zone of Aracaju City, Sergipe, Brazil. Marina Gonçalves Garcia, University of Vale do Rio dos Sinos, Brasil. Antônio Jorge Vasconcellos Garcia, Federal University of Sergipe, Brasil. 1. Introduction The beaches are coastal environments with deposits of unconsolidated material, formed by the interaction of the continent (rivers that arrive in port material to the coast) and the sea. The main process includes reworked sediments by waves, tides, coastal currents and wind processes. The beaches are dynamic and sensible environments and responsible for important functions, mainly a special protection for adjacent ecosystems, where lived many species of animals and plants (Souza et al; 2005). Despite of the human occupation, one of the crucial factors for degradation of natural coastal environment, other factors also operate to the occurrence of degradation processes. Thus, it is necessary to know the sediment dynamics of the beaches and the natural and anthropogenic mechanisms that interfere with coastal processes. After these to be achieved the proposition of preservation program will be important to environments preservation during the urbanization project implementation. The Sergipe State follows the global trend of occupation and use of the coast for various activities (Carvalho and Fontes, 2006). On coastline of Sergipe, especially in the stretch where they understands the estuaries of Japaratuba and Vaza-Barris rivers, is located the higher income and higher population densities in the state.
