Comparative Aspects of Superficial Conduction Systems in Echinoids and Asteroids.
SYNOPSIS. The spine-convergence response of sea urchins and the papula (deimal branchia) retraction response of starfish persist after removal of the central nervous system, but are blocked by scratching through the skin. They are mediated therefore by diffuse superficial conduction systems capable of limited spread—to a few centimeters. The spine response does not bend around the ends of a cut...

Much is known about deep ocean ambient noise, rather less about the more highly structured and variable noise in temperate coastal waters, and rather little about the tropical shallow waters that include coral reefs and the biological diversity these ecosystems support. Interest in shallow water acoustics has been growing over the last decade, and more recently specific interest has bloomed in ...

متن کاملNew lucinid bivalves from shallow and deeper water of the Indian and West Pacific Oceans (Mollusca, Bivalvia, Lucinidae)
Four new species and a new genus of lucinid bivalves are described from shallow and deeper waters in the Indian and West Pacific Oceans. The new genus Scabrilucina (subfamily Lucininae) includes the little-known Scabrilucina victorialis (Melvill, 1899) from the Arabian Sea and Scabrilucina vitrea (Deshayes, 1844) from the Andaman Sea as well as a new species Scabrilucina melvilli from the Torre...
متن کاملShallow-water zoantharians (Cnidaria, Hexacorallia) from the Central Indo-Pacific
Despite the Central Indo-Pacific (CIP) and the Indonesian Archipelago being a well-known region of coral reef biodiversity, particularly in the 'Coral Triangle', little published information is available on its zoantharians (Cnidaria: Hexacorallia: Zoantharia). In order to provide a basis for future research on the Indo-Pacific zoantharian fauna and facilitate comparisons between more well-stud...
