THE USE OF CHEMICAL CUES BY SARGASSUM SHRIMPS LEANDER TENUICORNIS AND LATREUTES FUCORUM IN ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING A SYMBIOSIS WITH SARGASSUM ALGAE.
Creator
Frahm, Jaime L., Brooks, Randy, Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Biological Sciences
Abstract/Description
A mutualistic symbiosis exists between the alga Sargassum spp. and two shrimp species, L. tenuicornis and L. fucorum. But little is known about how the shrimp locate their host alga. Both visual and chemical cues are potentially available. Visual cues would be presumably restricted at night but chemical cues are potentially available continuously. Additionally, a previous study has looked at both cue variables with results that are mixed. This current research elaborates on the previous study...
Show moreA mutualistic symbiosis exists between the alga Sargassum spp. and two shrimp species, L. tenuicornis and L. fucorum. But little is known about how the shrimp locate their host alga. Both visual and chemical cues are potentially available. Visual cues would be presumably restricted at night but chemical cues are potentially available continuously. Additionally, a previous study has looked at both cue variables with results that are mixed. This current research elaborates on the previous study in an attempt to fully understand Sargassum shrimp chemoreception. A y-maze and four-chambered apparatus were used to test if the shrimp were able to detect Sargassum cues, conspecific cues, and Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) cues. Neither shrimp species showed a strong directional response to any of the chemical cues, but the Sargassum and DMSP cues did cause more shrimp to exhibit searching behavior. Additionally, several differences in response between male and female shrimp were found for each cue. A weaker dilution of DMSP was tested in an attempt to determine sensitivity of L. fucorum shrimp to the chemical cue. This weaker dilution also caused L. fucorum to exhibit searching behavior, but the sensitivity to the cue was not found and further research is needed to fully answer this question. These results show the shrimp are able to detect chemical cues in their environment and help determine more accurately the role of chemoreception in initiating and maintaining this shrimp/algal association.

SHALLOW-WATER CAPRELLIDAE (CRUSTACEA: AMPHIPODA) OF THE SOUTHEASTERN FLORIDA COAST.
Creator
PETTIT, GARY ALAN., Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
The caprellid fauna from the shallow waters of Florida's southeastern coast were investigated. Eleven species of caprellid amphipods were found: Caprella andreae, Caprella danilevskii, Caprella equilibra, Caprella oenantis, Caprella scaura, Fallotritella biscaynensis, Hemiaeqina minuta, Luconacia incerta, Paracaorella pusilla, Paracaprella tenuis, and Phtisica marina. All species were new distribution records for the collection locations except for five species at the Miami site and two...

Aspects of the population ecology and life history of the co-occurring crabs Eurypanopeus depressus (Smith) and Eurypanopeus dissimilis (Benedict and Rathbun) (Crustacea:Decapoda:Xanthidae).
Creator
Owen, Catherine Baylor, Florida Atlantic University, Dobkin, Sheldon
Abstract/Description
The xanthid crabs Eurypanopeus depressus and E. dissimilis co-occur among oysters on seawalls in southeastern Florida. Population dynamics and aspects of the life history of these two species were compared during a 1-year period, at two study sites. There were no interspecific differences in adult size for either sex. For both species, females were significantly more abundant than males. E. depressus was more abundant at one study site, E. dissimilis at the other. Ovigerous females were found...

There were no interspecific differences in adult size for either sex. For both species, females were significantly more abundant than males. E. depressus was more abundant at one study site, E. dissimilis at the other. Ovigerous females were found year-round. Number of eggs per female of both species increased with increasing carapace width. Recruitment of young into the population occurred year-round.
