Sensory Equilibrium and Dark Adaptation in Mya Arenaria
1. The reaction time of Mya to light is composed of two parts. The first, a sensitization period, is an exceedingly short interval of the order of magnitude associated with photographic processes. The second is a latent period of about 1.3 seconds, during which Mya need not remain exposed to the stimulating light. 2. The process of dark adaptation in Mya is orderly. Its progress may be represen...
متن کاملFood sources of the infaunal suspension-feeding bivalve Cerastoderma edule in a muddy sandflat of Marennes-OlQon Bay, as determined by analyses of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes
Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios were used to define the trophic base of the infaunal suspension-feeding bivalve Cerastoderma edule (L.) living on an intertidal muddy sandflat in Marennes-Oleron Bay, France. Suspended particulate organic matter (POM) collected from adjacent marine channels had a mean 6I3C value of -22 2 * 1.1 %O (n = 19). Benthic primary producers on Ronceles-Bains tid...
متن کاملThe Double Innervation of Muscles in the Clam {mya Arenaria)
IT is a matter of common observation that lamellibranch molluscs may close the valves of their shell by a fairly rapid twitch-like contraction of the adductor muscles, and may thereafter in certain circumstances relax the adductors, immediately allowing the valves to gape, while in other circumstances these muscles may be maintained for a considerable time in the shortened state even when large...
متن کاملFacilitation of seagrass Zostera marina productivity by suspension-feeding bivalves
Seagrasses and suspension feeders are both critical ecosystem engineers in estuaries. Seagrass beds are important structural habitats, and suspension feeders, when abundant, can regulate phytoplankton densities. Furthermore, there may be mutual facilitation of growth and recruitment between seagrasses and suspension-feeding bivalves. In a series of mesocosm experiments, the effects of environme...
متن کاملModeling food choice in the two suspension‐feeding bivalves, Crassostrea virginica and Mytilus edulis
In marine ecosystems, benthic invertebrates contribute to many ecological functions, including the regulation of energy fluxes. This is the case for suspension-feeding organisms that often dominate the macrobenthos in coastal areas. Dense populations of benthic filter-feeders interact strongly with nearshore waters, removing phytoplankton, producing biodeposits, and cycling dissolved nutrients ...
