Adaptations to a terrestrial existence in the robber crab Birgus latro L. IX. Hormonal control of post-renal urine reprocessing and salt balance in the branchial chamber.
The terrestrial robber crab Birgus latro L. regulates the composition of its final excretory product (termed P) depending on the availability of dietary salt by reabsorbing ions from urine passed over the gills. Laboratory and field-based studies investigated the nature of the mechanisms of control of this branchial ion uptake. B. latro were prepared such that their branchial chambers could be ...
متن کاملAdaptations to a Terrestrial Existence by the Robber Crab, Birgus Latro L. Iii. Nitrogenous Excretion
Nitrogenous excretion by the terrestrial anomuran crab Birgus latro L. was examined. The main excretory product was uric acid, representing 79-5 % of total excretory nitrogen. It was eliminated as white faeces separate from undigested food material and made up 82-6% of excretory faecal nitrogen. The faeces were the principal route of nitrogenous excretion, accounting for 96-2% of total excretio...
متن کاملInsect-Like Olfactory Adaptations in the Terrestrial Giant Robber Crab
The robber crab (Birgus latro), also known as the coconut crab, is the world's largest land-living arthropod, with a weight reaching 4 kg and a length of over half a meter. Apart from the marine larval stage, this crab is fully terrestrial, and will actually drown if submerged in water. A transition from sea to land raises dramatically new demands on the sensory equipment of an animal. In olfac...

از محوری ترین اثراتی که یک فیلم سینمایی ایجاد می کند دیالوگ هایی است که هنرپیش گان فیلم میگویند. به زعم یک فیلم ساز, یک شیوه متأثر نمودن مخاطب از اثر منظوره نیروی گفتارهای گوینده, مثل نیروی عاطفی, ترس آور, غم انگیز, هیجان انگیز و غیره, است. این مطالعه به بررسی این مسأله مبادرت کرده است که آیا نیروی فراگفتاری هنرپیش گان به مثابه ی اعمال گفتاری در پنج فیلم هالیوودی در نسخه های دوبله شده باز تولید...
