Sperm Ultrastructure of the Spider Crab
18 This work describes the morphology of the sperm cell of Maja brachydactyla, with emphasis on 19 localizing actin and tubulin. The spermatozoon of M. brachydactyla is similar in appearance and 20 organization to other brachyuran spermatozoa. The spermatozoon is a globular cell composed of 21 a central acrosome, which is surrounded by a thin layer of cytoplasm, and a cup-shaped nucleus 22 with...
متن کاملSensing surface morphology of biofibers by decorating spider silk and cellulosic filaments with nematic microdroplets.
Probing the surface morphology of microthin fibers such as naturally occurring biofibers is essential for understanding their structural properties, biological function, and mechanical performance. The state-of-the-art methods for studying the surfaces of biofibers are atomic force microscopy imaging and scanning electron microscopy, which well characterize surface geometry of the fibers but pr...
متن کاملIneffective crypsis in a crab spider: a prey community perspective.
Cryptic coloration is assumed to be beneficial to predators because of an increased encounter rate with unwary prey. This hypothesis is, however, very rarely, if ever, studied in the field. The aim of this study was to quantify the encounter rate and capture success of an ambush predator, in the field, as a function of its level of colour-matching with the background. We used the crab spider Mi...
متن کاملDecorating proofs
We consider proofs in minimal logic, written in natural deduction style. The only rules are introduction and elimination for implication and the universal quantifier. The logical connectives ∃,∧ are seen as special cases of inductively defined predicates, and hence are defined by the introduction and elimination schemes ∀x(A→ ∃xA), ∃xA→ ∀x(A→ B)→ B (x not free in B), A→ B → A ∧B, A ∧B → (A→ B →...
متن کاملSpider Movement, UV Reflectance and Size, but Not Spider Crypsis, Affect the Response of Honeybees to Australian Crab Spiders
According to the crypsis hypothesis, the ability of female crab spiders to change body colour and match the colour of flowers has been selected because flower visitors are less likely to detect spiders that match the colour of the flowers used as hunting platform. However, recent findings suggest that spider crypsis plays a minor role in predator detection and some studies even showed that poll...
