Beaucoup de parasites à cycle complexe ont développé la capacité d’altérer le phénotype de leurs hôtes. Il est reconnu que ces modifications d’apparence ou de comportement sont responsables d’une augmentation de la probabilité de prédation de l’hôte intermédiaire par l’hôte définitif. Ce phénomène de manipulation parasitaire peut avoir de nombreuses conséquences à l’échelle de l’écosystème, modifiant les interactions entre les populations d’hôtes et bouleversant leur rôle écologique. Cependant, ...

The two introduced beachfleas Orchestia gammarellus and Platorchestia platensis reported from South Africa have complicated histories, filled with misidentification and inaccurate documentation of distribution records. At the outset of this study, records of Orchestia gammarellus were restricted to - Langebaan Lagoon, Knysna and Milnerton Lagoon; while Platorchestia platensis had been recorded from Knysna and '34°S/19°E' (Gansbaai area). To verify this information, historical records were re-exa...

This thesis examines the relationship between demographic parameters and patterns of energy allocation in a brackish water mysid to test several predictions of life history theory. Populations of N. mercedis subject to different regimes of age-specific mortality allocated energy to reproduction in a manner consistent with predictions based on the maximization of individual fitness. The mechanism by which reproductive allocation was varied was largely through temperature dependent phenotypic vari...

Clibanarius virescens (Krauss) is a common and abundant hermit crab along the East coast of South Africa. Despite this, its biology is poorly known, both in South Africa and throughout the rest of its range in the West Indo-Pacific region. This study focuses on the descriptive analysis of the shell resource used by C. virescens and of the effects of this resource on crab populations. The underlying hypothesis of the study is that biogeographically imposed gradients in the morphology of intertida...

In South African estuaries the anomuran mud prawn, Upogebia africana (Ortmann), is the main organism exploited as bait by recreational and subsistence anglers. In the Knysna estuary, three groups of bait collectors were identified on the basis of their source of income: subsistence fishermen who rely on bait-collecting and fishing for their income, supplementary anglers who catch fish to supplement their income and leisure anglers who draw no income from fishing. Two groups were identified based...

The distribution of Callianassa kraussi in southern Africa extends from Lamberts Bay on the west coast to San Martinho in Mocambique. This represents a northerly extension of the range from the previous known limit of Inhaca Island. In this area 59 localities were visited and records obtained for an additional 16. Three areas were selected for detailed study. These were the west Kleinemonde estuary, which is normally closed off from the sea by a sand bar and the open Swartkops estuary both on th...

The interrelationships existing between some different parameters which may have influenced the diet of Tenagomysis chiZtoni (Crustacea, Mysidacea) were investigated in Lake Ellesmere, South Canterbury, New Zealand (43°48'S, 172°22'E). The mysid was found to be omnivorous and ingested foods having both aquatic and terrestrial origins. The stomach contents of 1113 mysids were examined. The diet was mainly composed of macrophyte detritus, filamentous algae, diatoms, calanoid and harpacticoid copep...

The decapod fauna of Ungava Bay (17 species, 3,000 specimens collected) is shown to be similar to that of the shallow water areas of West Greenland. Four species are reported for the first time from Ungava Bay: Sergestes arcticus and Pasiphaea tarda, ordinarily from deeper and warmer water, and Eualus macilentus and Sabinea septemcarinata. Systematics of each species is treated under occurrence, world distribution and taxonomy. Lengths of most species of shrimp showed that a greater size was rea...

The terrestrial Talitridae (landhoppers) are dominant members of mesic cryptozoic habitats in Gondwana fragments and other Southern Hemisphere land masses. Their respiratory apparatus consists of simple external gills bathed in fluid (exosomatic water). Respiratory rates are moderately high and vary with species, sex, weight, surface area, temperature, disease status, stage in the moult cycle, breeding status, time of day and season. Season acclimatisation is marked in Makawe hurleyi and is larg...

Les érymides sont des crustacés décapodes marins ayant une morphologie comparable à celle des homards actuels. Ils sont regroupés au sein d’une unique famille, les Erymidae Van Straelen, 1925, caractérisée par la présence d’une plaque intercalaire dorsale. Ces crustacés sont présents dès la fin du Permien. Ils se sont diversifiés et répandus dans le monde entier au Jurassique et ont perduré jusqu’au Paléocène. Ils sont particulièrement abondants au Jurassique, fossilisés dans des dépôts issus d’...

Ostracods are microcrustaceans distinguished by some very particular characteristics. They have a great diversity, occupy different environments - freshwater, marine or semi-terrestrial -, can be adapted to challenging environments as temporary or very restricted water bodies and have an extensive fossil record. All these traits make these animals great models to a variety of biological studies such as ecological, evolutionary or paleoenvironmental ones, just to name a few. In spite of this, stu...

Die Brachyura umfassen ca. 7000 Arten. Die Variationsbreite ihrer morphologischen Merkmale spiegelt sich in den männlichen und weiblichen Reproduktionssystemen wider und machen sie zu einem herausfordernden Untersuchungsgegenstand. Obwohl sich zahlreiche Studien mit der Phylogenie der Brachyura befasst haben, fehlen eindeutige Ergebnisse. Manche Studien stützen sich weiterhin auf deren Teilung in die Podotremata, die Heterotremata und die Thoracotremata (die beiden letzteren bilden die Eubrachyu...

The serological relationships of Pacific coast decapod Crustacea were investigated by use of blood sera and protein extracts. Blood sera were obtained from eight species representing six families; the protein extracts were produced from fifteen species as representatives of ten families. Protein extracts gave negative results. Testing with blood sera demonstrated no relationship between anomuran and brachyuran crustaceans. Within the Anomura a close relationship was found between the Lithodidae ...

This is the first attempt to study the circumglobal pelagic planktonts of the Family Phronimidae collected from all oceans. Before Vosseler (1901) published his work on the systematics of the phronimid species, the sexual dimorphism and the age variation in these animals proved confusing to the taxonomists. Synonyms of the species were mostly made at this period. [...]

The Anostraca are a group of crustaceans belonging to the class Branchiopoda. They are predominantly restricted to temporary, inland waterbodies, which in southern Africa, include rockpools, animal wallows, and large "pans". The anostracan fauna of southern Africa was last examined in detail in 1929 by Barnard, and recent collecting in a number of areas indicated the need to update earlier work. A total of four genera, each belonging to a separate family, and forty-six species, some of which had...
