  • Connected Experience: Marine Invertebrate Adaptations
    Connected Experience: Marine Invertebrate Adaptations GRADE LEVELS 3rd- 12th Grade with NGSS for 3rd grade SUBJECTS Life Sciences, Patterns DURATION Pre-Visit: 30 minutes, Aquarium/Tide pool: 45 minutes, Post-Visit: 30 SETTING Classroomi and Aquarium or Outdoor Tide Pool Summary This ‘‘connected experience’’ allows students to connect their classroom learning to field trip learning, and back again. Students begin by thinking about a specific ecosystem, and what adaptations an animal might need to survive there. They then observe invertebrates in an outdoor, or aquarium setting to look for evidence of how the organism uses its body parts to survive. Objectives In this lesson, students will: 1. identify patterns within organisms and the environments in which they live 2. construct an argument from evidence on how an animal is specially adapted to live in its ecosystem. 3. build curiosity for the natural world through exploring a new environment. Materials Marine Invertebrate Cards (part of this lesson) invertebrate scavenger hunt worksheets clipboards with pencils (for field trip) cameras (optional --- 1 per student group) local field guide (optional) Teacher Tips: This scavenger hunt may be used in an aquarium or an outdoor tide pool. If you choose to go outside, consider having students wear sunscreen, and rain boots. Additionally, you may want to bring trash bags, and have students collect any litter that they find in order to leave a healthier habitat behind. Teacher Prep 1. Scout out the aquarium or tide pool so you know where students can find invertebrates. If going outside, use a tide log to find out what time low tide is on the day of your field trip, and plan to scout at a similar tidal level.

Sweetings Pond, an anchialine lake on the island of Eleuthera in The 30 Bahamas was identified as a site of high Caribbean reef octopus, Octopus briareus (Robson, 31 1929) density, relative to coastal populations. However, observed deterioration in local benthic 32 habitat and increased anthropogenic influence over the last 30 years imply that this octopus 33 population may have undergone density and distribution shifts in response to these changing 34 conditions. Here, we assess the system wide octopus density to provide an updated estimate. We 35 hypothesize that despite depressed habitat availability in the 1980s, it will now support octopus 36 densities less than historical estimates because of increasing human impact on the system.

En total, achéganse nomes galegos para 534 especies de moluscos. A estrutura En primeiro lugar preséntase unha clasificación taxonómica que considera as clases, ordes, superfamilias e familias de moluscos. Aquí apúntase, de maneira xeral, os nomes dos moluscos que hai en cada familia. A seguir vén o corpo do documento, onde se indica, especie por especie, alén do nome científico, os nomes galegos e ingleses de cada molusco (nalgún caso, tamén, o nome xenérico para un grupo deles). Ao final inclúese unha listaxe de referencias bibliográficas que foron utilizadas para a elaboración do presente documento. Nalgunhas desas referencias recolléronse ou propuxéronse nomes galegos para os moluscos, quer xenéricos quer específicos. Outras referencias achegan nomes para os moluscos noutras linguas, que tamén foron tidos en conta. Alén diso, inclúense algunhas fontes básicas a respecto da metodoloxía e dos criterios terminolóxicos empregados. 2 Tratamento terminolóxico De modo moi resumido, traballouse nas seguintes liñas e cos seguintes criterios: En primeiro lugar, aprofundouse no acervo lingüístico galego. A respecto dos nomes dos moluscos, a lingua galega é riquísima e dispomos dunha chea de nomes, tanto específicos (que designan un único animal) como xenéricos (que designan varios animais parecidos).

  • On the Cephalopod Phosphagen by Ernest Baldwin, B.A
    222 ON THE CEPHALOPOD PHOSPHAGEN BY ERNEST BALDWIN, B.A. (From the Biochemical Laboratory, Cambridge, and the Marine Biological Station, Tamaris, Var, France.) (Received 8th November, 1932.) (With Four Text-figures.) INTRODUCTION. THE comparative researches of Eggleton & Eggleton(s) on the distribution of phosphagen made it clear that while creatine phosphate is very widely distributed amongst the vertebrates, it is not present in the invertebrates. Shortly afterwards, a new phosphagenic substance was isolated from crab muscle by Meyerhof & Lohmann(n, 12) and shown to be arginine phosphate, while the later work of Lundsgaard (9) has made it certain that this compound plays in these tissues a part exactly analogous to that played by the creatine compound in vertebrate muscles. Later, Meyerhof (10) examined a number of invertebrates, representative of several phyla, and came to the conclusion that arginine phosphate is present in Holothuria, Pecten and Sipunculus. Cephalopod muscle contained no phosphagen. The case of the cephalopods was further examined by Needham, Needham, Baldwin & Yudkin (13), who not only found that the muscles of Sepia and of Octopus do contain phosphagen, but were also able to investigate its ontogeny in the former (14). There seemed no reason to think that the compound present was any- thing other than the arginine compound (8). Ackermann, Holtz & Kutscherw claim to have isolated the copper nitrate salt of arginine from extracts of the cephalopod Eledone moschata, while Okuda(is) has made a similar claim in the case of Loligo breekert, whereas Iseki (7) has been able to isolate no arginine from extracts of Octopus, finding in its place a compound which he isolated in the form of its picrate, and which he thinks may be a methyl agmatine.

E-mail: [email protected] A. An Octopus briareus specimen was recorded off Port Sisal, Yucatán, Mexico. This finding represents the first record of O. bria- reus in the southern Gulf of Mexico, expanding the currently known westernmost distribution area for this species on the American continent. The specimen was captured by scientific divers performing routine maintenance at underwater facilities in the area of the discovery. The col- lected specimen was an adult female weighing 25.3 g.

Sensitivity to the art and designs of the past aids the Interior Designer in adapting them into the crea-_ tion of the contemporary interior, Des.igns of the past can have an integral relationship with contemporary design, Successful designs are those which have survived and have transcended time, Thus, the Interior Designer needs to know the background of a design, the original use of a design, and the period to which a design belongs in order to success­ fully adapt the design to the contemporary creation of beautyo This study of the shell as a symbolic design motif began with a profound interest in history, a deep love for a serene desert mission. and a probing curiosity concerning an outstanding design used in con­

  • Ently Became Distinct from the Coleoid Basic Line in the Middle Triassic (Jeletzky, 1966)
    click for previous page - 191 - 5. OCTOPUSES (Order Octopoda) Octopoda Leach, 1818, Zool.Miscell., 3(30):138. The Order Octopoda apparently became distinct from the Coleoid basic line in the Middle Triassic (Jeletzky, 1966). Octopods are divided into two suborders; Cirrata, mostly deep-sea pelagic and epibenthic forms which possess cirri along the arms and have paddle-shaped fins and Incirrata, moderately deep to shallow-living benthic and epipelagic forms which posses neither cirri nor fins Only the Incirrata are of commercial interest, with some species of Octopus supporting among the major fisheries for cephalopods. Diagnostic Features : Eight circumoral arms, no tentacles; fins subterminal (on sides of mantle), widely separated, or absent; shell reduced, vestigial, “cartilagenous”, or absent; suckers without chitinous rings, set directly on arms without stalks;eye open to sea with primary and secondary (concentric) lids; branchial canal present on gills between down-folded filaments (some exceptions); liver a single structure with incorporated pancreas;central (rachidian) tooth of radula with 1 large projection and 2 or more small lateral cusps, first and second lateral teeth multicuspid; buccal membrane absent;olfactory organ a ciliated pit. Suborder Incirrata Grimpe, 1916 Incirrata Grimpe, 1916, Zool.Anz., 46(12):353. Only one of the eight famlies, Octopodidae, is commercially exploited, although other species taken incidentally also are utilized. Diagnostic Features : Eight arms with suckers only, no cirri; fins absent. 5.1 FAMILY OCTOPODIDAE Orbigny, 1845 OCT Octopodidae Orbigny, 1845, Moll.Viv.Foss., 1:164. FAO Names : En - Octopuses Fr - Pieuvres, Poulpes Sp - Pulpitos, Pulpos General Remarks on the Family : The systematics of the Octopodidae is in a thoroughly unsettled state and the group is very much in need of systematic revision.
