Title: COMPARATIVE MORPHOLOGY OF SOUND PRODUCING MECHANISMS IN TWO SPECIES OF OPHIDIID FISHES.
Creator: RITTGERS, NANCY GOLDCAMP., Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description: The sound producing mechanisms of Chilara taylori (Girard) and Ophidion grayi (Fowler) are sexually dimorphic. These mechanisms involve the airbladder, a modified anterior axial skeleton and three pairs of muscles; all have an enlarged first vertebra and a pair of similarly modified and enlarged first ribs. In the male Chilara taylori, two thin convex bones are embedded in the anterior face of the airbladder. Slits are present in the lateral wall of the airbladder just behind the embedded...
Show moreThe sound producing mechanisms of Chilara taylori (Girard) and Ophidion grayi (Fowler) are sexually dimorphic. These mechanisms involve the airbladder, a modified anterior axial skeleton and three pairs of muscles; all have an enlarged first vertebra and a pair of similarly modified and enlarged first ribs. In the male Chilara taylori, two thin convex bones are embedded in the anterior face of the airbladder. Slits are present in the lateral wall of the airbladder just behind the embedded bones. The male Ophidion grayi has a very rigid airbladder. Highly modified third ribs shaped like inverted ram's horns are embedded in the airbladder wall. These ribs encircle a membranous area in the anterior of the airbladder in which a median rocker bone is embedded. The sound producing mechanisms of the females of both species lack specialized bones associated with the airbladder. Their sound producing mechanisms are not as well developed as in the male.

Title: EASTERN PACIFIC FISHES OF THE GENUS HAEMULON (POMADASYIDAE).
Creator: HONG, SUSAN LEE, Florida Atlantic University, Courtenay, Walter R. Jr., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Biological Sciences
Abstract/Description: Five eastern Pacific species of the genus Haemulon Cuvier are described, their color pattern and dentition illustrated, and a key presented for their identification. Lythrulon Jordan and Swain and Orthostoechus Gill are synonymized with Haemulon. Haemulon scudderi Gill, Haemulon sexfasciatum Gill, Haemulon flavigattatum Gill, and Haemulon maculicauda (Gill) are found exclusively in the Pacific while Haemulon steindachneri (Jordan and Gilbert) is found both in the Atlantic and the Pacific.

Title: LEPIDOLOGY OF SELECTED SPECIES OF HAEMULON (PISCES: POMADASYIDAE): A MORPHOLOGICAL - STATISTICAL APPROACH TO TAXONOMY.
Creator: GOODSPEED, DAVID NASH, Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description: A study was made of selected species of the genus Haemulon to evaluate the use of lepidology as a taxonomic tool for classifying fishes. The data generated underscored certain phylogenetic trends although species differences were ill-defined. A statistical technique was employed using a ctenius length-width ratio analysis. The statistical inference that Haemulon chrysargyreum and H. striatum may occupy a single infrageneric group supports previously established evidence in this regard.

Title: Electroreception in the obligate freshwater stingray, Potamotrygon motoro.
Creator: Harris, Lindsay L., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Biological Sciences
Abstract/Description: Elasmobranch fishes use electroreception to detect electric fields in the environment, particularly minute bioelectric fields produced by potential prey. A single elasmobranch family (Potamotrygonidae) is composed of obligate freshwater stingrays endemic to the Amazon River. A freshwater existence has imposed morphological adaptions on their electrosensory system due to life in a high impedance medium. Because their electrosensory morphology differs from their marine relatives, freshwater...
Show moreElasmobranch fishes use electroreception to detect electric fields in the environment, particularly minute bioelectric fields produced by potential prey. A single elasmobranch family (Potamotrygonidae) is composed of obligate freshwater stingrays endemic to the Amazon River. A freshwater existence has imposed morphological adaptions on their electrosensory system due to life in a high impedance medium. Because their electrosensory morphology differs from their marine relatives, freshwater stingrays may demonstrate corresponding differences in behavioral sensitivity. The objective of this study was to quantify behavioral sensitivity of the obligate freshwater stingray Potamotrygon motoro to prey-simulating voltage. The voltage produced by common teleost prey of P. motoro were measured and replicated for behavioral trials. The best response was 10.62 cm, and the smallest voltage gradient detected was 0.005 mVcm-1. This sensitivity is reduced compared to marine species. The conductivity of the medium, more so than ampullary morphology, may dictate sensitivity of the elasmobranch electrosensory system.

Title: THE ANISOTROPIC MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND MORPHOLOGY OF ELASMOBRANCH SKIN.
Creator: Hagood, Madeleine Elizabeth, Porter, Marianne E., Florida Atlantic University, Department of Biological Sciences, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science
Abstract/Description: The goal of these studies was to quantify mechanical properties of elasmobranch (sharks and batoids) skin to understand the functional relationships between mechanics and morphology, and how these correspond to differences in swimming and ecology. I relate mechanical behaviors with morphological structures to elucidate the underlying contributions of the skin toward elasmobranch skin mechanics. I mechanically tested skin in uniaxial tension to failure to assess the tensile strain at maximum...
Show moreThe goal of these studies was to quantify mechanical properties of elasmobranch (sharks and batoids) skin to understand the functional relationships between mechanics and morphology, and how these correspond to differences in swimming and ecology. I relate mechanical behaviors with morphological structures to elucidate the underlying contributions of the skin toward elasmobranch skin mechanics. I mechanically tested skin in uniaxial tension to failure to assess the tensile strain at maximum load (extensibility), ultimate tensile strength, Young’s Modulus of elasticity (stiffness), and toughness among diverse groups of elasmobranchs. Across three chapters, I compare mechanical behaviors of the skin among species of sharks and batoids (separately) among body regions, and between sexes and axes of stress (longitudinal and hoop). Among 20 shark species, I quantified mechanical properties among ecomorphotypes and ontogenetically (across three maturity stages) and found that mechanical behaviors increase ontogenetically and are governed by two different underlying trends (maturity and ecomorphology). I found that shark skin oriented in the hoop direction was stronger and stiffer compared to skin oriented longitudinally, as hoop-oriented skin maintains internal volume and hydrostatic pressure by resisting deformation. Shark skin oriented longitudinally was more extensible, allowing for increased stretchability anteroposterior as a shark’s body undulates along the longitudinal axis. Dermal denticles (placoid scales), tooth-like structures of enameloid and dentine, are rooted in the stratum compactum layer of the dermis, embedded in a collagen fiber network.
