Egg and brood sizes of oceanic pelagic crustaceans
The eggs and broods of crustaceans that carry their embryos attached to their appendages or within a marsupium are examined. Larger crustaceans within an order or suborder have larger eggs than smaller crustaceans but the egg size relative to body size decreases except in 2 groups: the relative volume of the eggs of calanoid copepods and deep-living mysids is maintained at about 1.0 O/O and 0.4...
متن کاملVulnerability of oceanic sharks as pelagic longline bycatch
Bycatch (the unintentional catch of non-target species or sizes) is consistently ranked as one of the greatest threats to marine fish populations; yet species-specific rates of bycatch survival are rarely considered in risk assessments. Regulations often require that bycatch of threatened species be released; but, if animals are already dead, their release serves no conservation purpose. We exa...
متن کاملVulnerability of the Oceanic Whitetip Shark to Pelagic Longline Fisheries
A combination of fisheries dependent and independent data was used to assess the vulnerability of the oceanic whitetip shark to pelagic longline fisheries. The Brazilian tuna longline fleet, operating in the equatorial and southwestern Atlantic, is used as a case study. Fisheries dependent data include information from logbooks (from 1999 to 2011) and on-board observers (2004 to 2010), totaling...
متن کاملA brood parasite selects for its own egg traits
Many brood parasitic birds lay eggs that mimic their hosts' eggs in appearance. This typically arises from selection from discriminating hosts that reject eggs which differ from their own. However, selection on parasitic eggs may also arise from parasites themselves, because it should pay a laying parasitic female to detect and destroy another parasitic egg previously laid in the same host nest...
متن کاملHow to evade a coevolving brood parasite: egg discrimination versus egg variability as host defences
Arms races between avian brood parasites and their hosts often result in parasitic mimicry of host eggs, to evade rejection. Once egg mimicry has evolved, host defences could escalate in two ways: (i) hosts could improve their level of egg discrimination; and (ii) negative frequency-dependent selection could generate increased variation in egg appearance (polymorphism) among individuals. Profic...
