碩士 / 國立中興大學 / 生物物理學研究所 / 106 / Attachment plays an important role in living of creatures. Many aquatic animals use suckers for attachment during maintaining position, movement, or predation. Both octopus and cuttlefish are cephalopods using suckers for attachment, but their suckers are different in structure, functioning mechanism, predation behavior, and prey type. Unlike octopus, cuttlefish reach the prey by fast striking of two tentacles and capture it with suckers on the clubs. The cuttlefis...

However, the stock biomass of most commercially exploited target species, at least 78% of status of the stock was evaluated as full- or over-exploitation. At the same time, global production of cephalopods was increased in the past four decades. The cephalopod was suggested as one of the marine resources which could support fishery development in the world. Understanding life-history tr...

The liganded ER acts as a DNA binding transcription factor to mediate a variety of target gene transcriptions. The structure of ERs is composed of six modular domains, in which the A/B domain is a ligand-independent activation function (AF-1) domain as well as a dimerization domain, the C domain is DNA-binding domain (DBD) and the E/F domain is ligand-dependent ...

But a previous study has shown that honeybees, an invertebrate with a simpler brain, also possess the ability of knowing the sameness and difference in visual and olfactory modalities.

The risk-sensitive foraging theory predicts that an organism’s foraging decisions with regard to food rewards depend upon its satiation level. However, the precise interaction between optimal risk-tolerance and satiation level remains unclear. In the present study, we examined, firstly, whether cuttlefish, with one of the most highly evolved nervous system among the inv...

Hybridizing species of the Daphnia longispina complex are key taxa in plankton communities of many European lakes. In several of these lakes, it has been documented that the taxonomic structure of the complex during the 20th century has substantially changed following human-mediated environmental changes, particularly eutrophication and re-oligotrophication and fish stock changes. We characterize these changes in Lago Maggiore (Italy/Switzerland), a southern pre-alpine lake, which also passed th...

Shrimp abundance and biomass ranged from 0 to 88 ind. m−2 and 0 to 4.4 g wwt m−2, respectively. Shrimps were most abundant in the lower reach, and highest abundances and biomasses were recorded in the lower reach in June when salinities were low. ...

Les cours d’eau des îles tropicales abritent des organismes qui ont développé un cycle de vie diadrome, partagé entre une phase adulte en eau douce et une phase larvaire marine : l’amphidromie. Parmi ces organismes, dans la zone Indo-Pacifique, on trouve les crevettes du genre Caridina H. Milne Edwards, 1837. Avec plus de 300 espèces décrites, il s’agit du genre le plus diversifié de l’infra-ordre des Caridea, avec une systématique extrêmement confuse et compliquée. Au sein de ce genre, deux com...

Benthic communities on the outer continental shelf of the Middle Atlantic Bight are characterized by abundant populations of amphipods in the families Ampeliscidae and Corophiidae. Members of these families occupy tubes at or near the sediment surface and, thus, potentially compete with each other for spatial and trophic resources. This study examines the spatial, temporal and trophic resource use of six numerically dominant species in these families as a means of assessing the relative importan...

Snapping shrimp in the family Alpheidae are remarkably abundant in coral reef ecosystems worldwide. The second most speciose genus, Synalpheus , includes species usually small and reclusive, and their general morphology is notably uniform, yet the number of species is staggeringly high, as is the intraspecific variability. These features have contributed to a poorly resolved taxonomic status, as evidenced both by recurring lumping and splitting of species and by lack of proper definition of seve...

Masking or decorator crabs, conceal themselves partially through camouflage, by selecting or indiscriminately attaching materials from their environment to their exoskeleton. Functional aspects of decorating behavior and morphology in this group have not been documented. Using Microphrys bicornutus as a model species, this dissertation demonstrates clearly that decorating is an advantageous phenotype that has evolved to serve several functions. Decorating is a complex behavior that begins w...

The possible role of phytoplankton in the nutrition of the larvae of the prawn M. rosenbergii was investigated in this study which is conducted in two parts. In the first section of Part I, the utilization of the yolk and its lipids in the egg and first two larval stages was examined. It was found that the yolk lipids in the egg undergoes very little change during egg development and that these lipids provide for 94% of the metabolic requirements of the first stage larvae. In section two of part...

Within the Knysna Estuary Upogebia africana has an extensive distribution from north of Leisure Isle to the Red Bridge, occupying 62% of the available intertidal zone. Six sites were surveyed within the above distributional range. U. africana was found from the high-water level (Spartina zone) to the shallow subtidal zone (to about 1.5 m depth). The density, biomass and population structure of the mud prawns were found to be highly variable within the estuary. Only small animals (carapace length...

The conservation of species relies on a deep knowledge of biology of the species concerned, as well as on the identification of reproductively isolated units, which are genetically different from one other (genetic stocks).

Palaemon affinis is the commonest prawn in intertidal habitats of the North and South Islands, New Zealand. The population dynamics, community composition, and natural food preferences of P. affinis were studied in the Avon-Heathcote Estuary, and rock pools at Taylors Mistake and Kaikoura, South Island, in 2000. Bimonthly samples were taken at all three sites at low tide using a suction sampler for the hyperbenthic communities and a corer or quadrat for the benthic communities. The distribution ...

Chromatin diminution is defined as the elimination of DNA during the differentiation of early embryonic cells into pre-somatic cells. While it was first observed in the nematode Parascaris equorum, it also been identified in other parasitic nematodes, hagfish and copepods. In the copepod Mesocyclops edax, up to 90% of genomic DNA is eliminated during chromatin diminution. It was previously shown that the eliminated DNA contained highly repetitive heterochromatic sequences. Here, we digested pre-...

The Canadian province of Nova Scotia has an abundance of lakes impacted by multiple stressors, including acidification, lakewater calcium (Ca) decline, climate change, and fish introductions.
