Chemical Communication in Lobsters
Lobsters are fascinating animals that use chemicals as messages regarding their sexual status, their standing in a social hierarchy, and whether they affiliate with or avoid conspecifics. This, plus their economic importance, makes them important models for the study of intraspecific chemical communication. Our chapter is an overview of these processes, including the types of interactions betwe...
متن کاملThe ‘‘100 Lobsters’’ Project: a Cooperative Demonstration Project for Health Assessments of Lobsters from Rhode Island
The emergence of epizootic shell disease in the American lobster (Homarus americanus) has been devastating to the fishing industry in southern New England. In response, research was initiated to understand the roles of the environment, pathogens, and pollutants in the ecology and etiology of the disease. A comprehensive project was initiated in which tissues and hemolymph from 100 lobsters were...
متن کاملDiseases of spiny lobsters: a review.
Spiny lobsters have few reported pathogens, parasites and symbionts. However, they do have a diverse fauna comprised of a pathogenic virus, several bacteria, protozoans, helminths and even symbiotic crustaceans. A few idiopathic syndromes have also been reported, but these appear correlated with lobsters held in poor conditions. Fungal and bacterial pathogens present significant threats for rea...
متن کاملTwo sniffing strategies in palinurid lobsters.
Most studies of lobster chemoreception have focused on the model systems of Panulirus argus (Palinuridae) and Homarus americanus (Nephropidae). We compare antennule morphology across lobsters and conduct the first kinematic study of antennule flicking in a palinurid species other than P. argus. High-speed video analysis shows that Palinurus elephas flicks at a rate more than an order of magnitu...
متن کاملOn certain classes of graceful lobsters
A (simple undirected) graph G = (V,E) with m edges is graceful if it has a distinct vertex labeling f : V −→ {0, 1, 2, 3, . . . ,m} which induces a set of distinct edge labels {|f(u)− f(v)| | uv ∈ E, u, v ∈ V }. The famous Ringel-Kotzig conjecture [9, 15] is that all trees are graceful. The base of a tree T is obtained from T by deleting its one-degree vertices. A caterpillar is a tree whose ba...
