Interactions Between Limb Regeneration and Molting in Decapod Crustaceans

Cephalopods and Decapod Crustaceans

Cyclic Nucleotides and Neuropeptide Signaling in the Crustacean Molting Gland Molting in decapod crustaceans is controlled by the eyestalk

Physiological processes are regulated by a diverse array of neuropeptides that coordinate organ systems. The neuropeptides, many of which act through G protein–coupled receptors, affect the levels of cyclic nucleotides (cAMP and cGMP) and Ca in target tissues. In this perspective, their roles in molting, osmoregulation, metabolite utilization, and cardiovascular function are highlighted. In dec...

Extracellular acid–base balance in decapod crustaceans

influence extracellular acid–base status in brachyuran decapod crustaceans (Truchot, 1973; Truchot, 1981; Truchot, 1992; Mangum et al., 1976; Henry and Cameron, 1982; Wheatly, 1985). Although the underlying mechanisms and the physiological consequences remain unclear, the basis for the relationship between acid–base status and ion regulation can be attributed to the catalysed hydration of CO2 b...
