Reproduction in Three Species of Intertidal Barnacles from Central California
The reproductive biology of eastern Atlantic barnacles has been studied extensively, with emphasis on the role of temperature in regulating reproduction (e.g., Crisp, 1950, 1954; Patel and Crisp, 1960a; Barnes, 1963; Barnes and Stone, 1973). However, there has been much less work on cirripedes elsewhere in the world. This paper compares the reproductive cycles and brood production of three spec...
متن کاملFour trematode cercariae from the New Zealand intertidal snail
The cercariae and sporocysts (or rediae) of four trematode species are described from the intertidal snail Zeacumantus subcarinatus: a distome xiphidiocercaria assigned to the genus Renicola (family Renicolidae); a monostome xiphidiocercaria belonging either to the genus Microphallus or Megalophallus (family Microphallidae); a magnacercous cercaria of the genus Galactosomum (family Heterophyida...
متن کاملParasitism can influence the intertidal zonation of non-host organisms
Zonation of organisms in soft-bottom intertidal habitats is mainly a consequence of the tidal sorting of the substrate and how benthic organisms respond to it, with predation and competition also playing a role. Although parasites are ubiquitous in these habitats and known agents of community structure, their impact on zonation is rarely considered. Here, using observational and experimental da...
متن کاملGeographical variation in climatic sensitivity of intertidal mussel zonation
Methods Lethal temperatures for M. californianus were determined using temperature-controlled chambers in which both the magnitude and duration of exposure were manipulated. Field surveys of the shore level and solar exposure of upper zonation limits of mussel beds were conducted at 15 sites. Measurements from the lethal temperature studies and field surveys were used with a biophysical model o...
متن کاملZonation in a cryptic Antarctic intertidal macrofaunal community
Despite the general view that the Antarctic intertidal conditions are too extreme to support obvious signs of macrofaunal life, recent studies have shown that intertidal communities can survive over annual cycles. The current study investigates distribution of taxa within a boulder cobble matrix, beneath the outer, scoured surface of the intertidal zone at Adelaide Island, west Antarctic Penins...
